EGPRS
GPRS (general packet radio service) is a network service that allows mobile phones to be
used for sending and receiving data over an IP-based network. GPRS is a data bearer that
enables wireless access to data networks, such as the Internet.
EGPRS (enhanced GPRS), also known as EDGE (enhanced data rates for global evolution) is
similar to GPRS but the connection is faster. For more information on availability of EGPRS
and data transfer speed, contact your service provider.
Note: The Nokia 6820 phone is 3GPP GSM Release 99 terminal supporting EGPRS
service. It is also designed to support Release 97 GPRS networks. However, proper
functionality in all Release 97 GPRS networks cannot be guaranteed. For more
information, contact your service provider.
The applications that may use EGPRS are multimedia, IM and text messaging, browsing
sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML, Java application downloading and the PC dial-up (such as
Internet and e-mail).
To use EGPRS technology, you must first do the following:
• Contact your service provider for availability and subscription to the EGPRS service.
• Save the EGPRS settings for each of the applications used over EGPRS.
For information on pricing, contact your service provider.
Note: When you select GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS instead of GPRS,
if this is available in the network. You cannot select between EGPRS and GPRS but for
some applications you may be able to select either GPRS or GSM data (CSD).
EGPRS CONNECTION
Your phone supports three simultaneous EGPRS connections. You can browse XHTML pages,
receive multimedia messages and maintain a PC dial-up connection, all at the same time.
Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS connection.
Select Always online to set the phone to automatically register to an EGPRS network when
you switch the phone on. When the GPRS connection is established, the icon
appears
on the top left of the display.
