Data connections and access points
Your device supports packet data connections, 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.
You can also use a wireless LAN data connection.
See "Wireless LAN," p. 15. Only one connection in one
wireless LAN can be active at a time.
To establish a data connection, an access point is required.
You can define different kinds of access points, such as:
• MMS access point to send and receive multimedia
messages
• Access point for the Web application to view WML
or XHTML pages
• 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 network operator or service provider.
Access points
You may receive access point settings in a message from a
service provider. See "Data and settings," p. 44. Some or all
access points may be preset for your device by your service
provider or network operator, and you may not be able
to change, create, edit, or remove them.
