GSM data
GSM data is charged by time, this means you pay for the time you are connected. You need a SIM card that support GSM data.
The GSM data access type allows you to make both incoming and out- going data calls, in the same way as with a fixed line. Therefore, you can connect to the Internet using the same ISP (Internet Service Provider) that you would use with a fixed line.
Note: You will not be able to make or receive other calls while a
GSM data communication is established.
The SIM card must support GSM data. The network operator does not need to supply any specific information, and it is your ISP who provides you with the user name, password and installation information in order to establish an Internet connection. Please contact your ISP for installa- tion instructions.
Note: Your PC should be configured in the same way as if using a fixed line, please check also that are you using the latest driver for the modem.
