Packet data

The packet data settings affect all access points using a packet data connection.

Packet data conn.—If you select When available and you are in a network that supports packet data, the phone registers to the packet data network. Also, starting an active packet data connection is quicker (for example, to send and receive e-mail). If you select When needed, the phone uses a packet data connection only if you start an application or action that needs it. If there is no packet data coverage and you select When available, the phone periodically tries to establish a packet data connection.
