Data connections

Packet data

GPRS (general packet radio service) 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 must subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and subscription to GPRS, contact your network operator or service provider.

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

During a voice call, you cannot establish a GPRS connection, and any existing GPRS connection is put on hold unless the network supports dual transfer mode.

UMTS

UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is a 3G mobile communication system. Besides voice and data, UMTS enables audio and video delivery to wireless devices.

Your device can automatically switch between the GSM and UMTS networks.

To select which network to use, select Menu > Tools > Settings > Network and the network in Network mode. If you want the device to switch between the networks automatically, select Dual mode.

The GSM network is indicated with , the UMTS network with .

When you use your device in GSM and UMTS networks, multiple data connections can be active at the same time, and access points can share a data connection. In the UMTS network, data connections remain active
