Access points
.
A data connection is required to connect to an access point. Your phone
supports three kinds of data connections:
•
GSM data call (
)
•
GSM high-speed data call (
)
•
Packet data (GPRS) connection (
)
There are three different kinds of access points that you can define: MMS
access point, browser access point, and Internet access point (IAP). Check
with your service provider for the kind of access point needed for the service
you wish to access. You need to define access point settings, if you want to
perform the following actions:
•
Send and receive multimedia messages
•
Send and receive e-mail
•
Browse pages
•
Download Java
applications
•
Use Image upload
•
Use your phone as a modem
Glossary: Access point - The point where your phone connects
to the Internet by way of a data call or packet data connection.
An access point can be provided, for example, by a commercial
Internet service provider (ISP), or service provider.
GSM DATA CALLS
A GSM data call enables data transmission rates to a maximum of
14.4 kb/s. For availability and subscription to data services, contact
your service provider.

Data call type: Analog
•
Maximum data speed: Automatic
See “Access points” on p. 37 for further information on how to create,
delete, and edit an access point.
High-speed data call (High-Speed Circuit Switched Data, HSCSD)
Glossary: High-speed data enables data transmission rates to
a maximum of 43.2 kb/s, which is three times faster than the
standard data rates of the GSM system. HSCSD is comparable
to the speed of many computer modems that communicate
with today's fixed telephone systems.
For availability and subscription to high-speed data services, please
contact your service provider.
Note: Sending data in HSCSD mode may drain the phone’s battery faster
than normal voice or data calls, as the phone may send data more
frequently to the system.
Tip: The Settings wizard program included in the PC Suite can help you
configure access point and mailbox settings. You can also copy
existing settings, for example, from your computer to your phone.
See the CD-ROM supplied in the sales package.
GPRS PACKET DATA
Glossary: Packet data, or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS),
uses packet data technology where information is sent in short
bursts of data over the mobile system. The benefit of sending data
in packets is that the system is occupied only when sending or
receiving data. Because GPRS uses the system efficiently, it allows
for quick data connection set up and fast data transmission speeds.

Pricing for packet data and applications
Both the active GPRS connection and the applications used over GPRS
require a fee (for example, using services, sending and receiving data, and
text messages). For more detailed information on fees, contact your
service provider.
