Connectivity
Your device offers several options to connect to the internet or to another compatible device or computer.
Data connections and access points
Your device supports packet data connections (network service), such as GPRS in the GSM network. When you use your device in GSM and UMTS networks, multiple data connections can be active at the same time, and access points can share a data connection. In the UMTS network, data connections remain active during voice calls.
You can also use a WLAN data connection. Only one connection in one wireless LAN can be active at a time, but several applications can use the same internet access point.
To establish a data connection, an access point is required. You can define different kinds of access points, such as the following:
-
MMS access point to send and receive multimedia messages
-
Internet access point (IAP) to send and receive e-mail and connect to the internet
Check the type of access point you need with your service provider for the service you want to access. For availability and subscription to packet data connection services, contact your service provider.
