getting started with wireless data functions

The wireless data functions on your hp Jornada use the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and general packet radio service (GPRS). To use the wireless data features of your hp Jornada, you must establish a subscription with a GSM/GPRS service provider. The features available to you depend on the services offered by the service provider and the details of your subscription.

Check with your GSM/GPRS service providers for a list of available wireless data services. Your service provider may charge additional fees for use of data services. Check with your service provider for more information on rates and availability of wireless data services with your subscription.

Your hp Jornada supports the following wireless data services:

•CBSMS (cell broadcast). Many GSM/GPRS service providers offer cell broadcast services, which transmit text-based information, such as news, stock updates, and weather reports to phones on their network.

•GSM data transmission (circuit-switched data). GSM data services enable you to use the GSM component of your hp Jornada as a built-in modem. Connect to the Internet through an ISP or dial in to a corporate network to synchronize your hp Jornada, browse the Web, or send and receive e-mail.

•GPRS data transmission. GPRS is a high-speed data-only service that enables you to transmit data over a mobile telephone network. Subscribing to a GPRS service allows you to transfer files, browse the Web, and receive streaming audio and video on your hp Jornada.
