GPRS PACKET DATA

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.

Minimum settings needed to make a packet data connection

•You need to subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and subscription to GPRS, contact your service provider.

•Go to Settings→ Connection settings→ Access points and select Options→ New access point. Fill in the following: Data bearer: GPRS

and Access point name: enter the name given to you by your service provider. See “Create an access point” on p. 38 for further information.

Pricing for packet data and applications

Both the active GPRS connection and the applications used over GPRS require a fee (for example, using services, sending and receiving data, and text messages). For more detailed information on fees, contact your service provider.
