Notes • Make sure your device has a SIM card installed, and your device has a GPRS or phone dial-up modem connection. If your device has not been set up with a data connection yet, tap Menu > Connection Settings on the Internet Sharing screen. For more information about setting up these connections, see "GPRS" and "Dial-up" in this chapter.
