GSM networks

Like any mobile phone, your device connects to a "network", which is the path that carries your phone calls, messages, web pages, and emails. The device is designed to use with the GSM and GPRS networks.

When you make a phone call, your device uses GSM. When you connect to the Internet, your device uses either GSM or GPRS depending on the type of Internet account that you select. Dial-up and high-speed dial-up Internet accounts connect to the GSM network. GPRS Internet accounts connect to the GPRS network.

When you send or receive SMS messages, your device can use either GPRS or GSM, and, if there is no coverage with one network, it can automatically switch to the other.

The GSM networks setting enables you to select an appropriate network manually if you want to change the network you are connected to, and set up a preferred list of networks. The network and band selections must be supported by your network service provider.
