Packet data (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS)

GPRS enables wireless access for mobile phones to data networks (network service). GPRS uses packet data technology where information is sent in short bursts of data over the mobile network. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the network is occupied only when sending or receiving data. As GPRS uses the network efficiently, it allows for quick data connection set up and fast data transmission speeds.

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

(E)GPRS (Enhanced GPRS) is similar to GPRS but the enables faster connection. For more information on the availability of (E)GPRS and data transfer speed, contact your network operator or service provider. Note that when you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the smartphone uses (E)GPRS instead of GPRS if this is available on the network.

Pricing for GPRS and applications

Any data transfers via GPRS and (E)GPRS are subject to applicable operator data transfer fees. For more information on fees, contact your network operator or service provider.

Access points

A data connection connects your smartphone to the Internet via an access point. Your smartphone supports three kinds of data connections:

•GSM data call ( )

•GSM high-speed data call, or HSCSD ( )

•packet data (GPRS) connection ( )

You need to set access point settings, if you want to, for example, send and receive multimedia messages or e-mail, browse pages, download JavaTM applications, or use your smartphone as a modem.

Check with your service provider what kind of access point is needed for the service you wish to access. For availability and subscription to GSM data call, GSM high- speed data call and GPRS connection services, contact your network operator or service provider.
