High speed data call (High Speed Circuit Switched Data, HSCSD)

Glossary: High-speed data enables data transmission rates to a maximum of 43.2 Kbps, which is three times faster than the standard data rates of the GSM system. HSCSD is comparable to the speed of many computer modems that communicate with today's fixed telephone systems.

For availability and subscription to high-speed data services, please contact your service provider.

Note: Sending data in HSCSD mode may drain the phone’s battery faster than normal voice or data calls, as the phone may send data more frequently to the system.

Tip: The Settings wizard program included in the PC Suite for Nokia 3650 or PC Suite for Nokia 3600 can help you to configure access point and mailbox settings. You can also copy existing settings, for example, from your computer to your phone. See the CD-ROM supplied in the sales package.

PACKET DATA (GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE, GPRS)

Glossary: Packet data, or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), uses packet data technology where information is sent in short bursts of data over the mobile system. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the system is occupied only when sending or receiving data. Because GPRS uses the system efficiently, it allows for quick data connection set up and fast data transmission speeds.
