Dial-up

Your phone’s networking capability allows you to access the Internet through the dial-up connection. Settings for connecting to the U.S. Cellular 1xRTT/EVDO network are already preconfigured on your phone, and your phone 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 phone. To establish a dial-up connection on your phone, 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.Start > Settings > All Settings > Connections.

2.Tap Connections.

3.Under My ISP, 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.

Wireless data connection

To connect to the Internet, you can use your phone’s 1xRTT/EVDO connection. You can also use GPRS/3G to connect to the Internet while roaming internationally. See “GPRS/3G (GSM/UMTS only)” for details.

GPRS/3G (GSM/UMTS 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 email on your phone. SIM cards must be purchased from a carrier in the country you wish to use the phone and are not sold or supported by U.S. Cellular. See Chapter 2 for more information on installing a SIM card.

After you install the SIM card, your phone will be ready to use GPRS/3G services. Do not change the connection settings as this may cause the GPRS/3G services to stop working.

The following icons may appear in the title bar when the phone is in Global or GSM mode:

GPRS available

EDGE available

HSPA available

WCDMA/UMTS available
