Getting Connected 67
5.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your phone’s powerful networking capabilities allow you to access
the Internet or your corporate network at work through wireless and
conventional connections. Specifically, you can configure your phone
to establish a connection via Dial-up, GPRS, Bluetooth, Virtual Private
Network (VPN) or Proxy.
With an active connection on your phone, you can browse the Web,
download emails or chat using MSN Messenger. Check with your
service provider to see if a connection has already been set up for you
and if over-the-air configuration is supported.
If you need to manually set up a connection, it is important that you
obtain the following information from your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) or the company whose intranet you are trying to access:
•
ISP server phone number
•
User name
•
Password
•
Access point name (required for GPRS connection)
•
Domain name (required for accessing a corporate network or an
intranet)
Set up a GPRS connection
GPRS is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to
be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use
GPRS to connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your
phone. When you use GPRS, you will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) when
sending or receiving information.
If GPRS settings are not preset on your phone, obtain the
Access
point name
from your wireless service provider. GPRS settings
have been preset on your phone. If the setting is deleted or changed,
contact Cingular to reset.
