Dial-up

Your device’s networking capability allows you to access the Internet through the dial-up connection. Settings for connecting to the Telus 1xRTT/EVDO network are already preconfigured on your device, and your device is ready to connect to the Internet. Please do not change these settings as this may cause your data connection to stop working.

If you need to use another dial-up connection from an ISP (Internet Service Provider), you can manually add it to your device. To establish a dial-up connection on your device, you need the same settings that you normally use when you dial up from your computer. This includes the ISP server phone number, your user name and password.

1.On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.

2.On the Connections tab, tap Connections.

3.Under TELUS, tap Add a new modem connection.

4.On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the connection and select Cellular Line in the Select a modem list, then tap Next.

5.Enter the ISP server phone number, then tap Next.

6.Enter your user name, password, and any other information required by your ISP, then tap Finish.

GPRS/3G (GSM only)

If you are going to roam internationally, you can install a GSM SIM card and use GPRS/3G (or EDGE, if available) to connect to the Internet and to send and receive e-mail on your device. Contact Telus to find out about GPRS/3G rates and to get a GSM SIM card to use with your phone for global roaming. See Chapter 2 for more informaiton on installing a SIM card.

After you install the SIM card, your device will be ready to use Telus GPRS/3G services. Do not change the connection settings as this may cause the GPRS/3G services to stop working. If you need to add another GPRS/3G connection on your device, contact Telus.
