Network and Subscription
The network subscription you use in conjunction with your GC89 depends on the functions and features your network operator can provide. Contact your network operator or service provider to make sure the options you require are available. Make sure that data options are included in your subscription, as these are usually optional services.
Note:
Mobile operators often provide a number of connectivity options via EDGE/GPRS such as WAP and Internet. Verify the service you require, such as Internet, email or corporate VPN (Virtual Private Network) service is available through your mobile operator and enabled on your subscription.
The functionality of the different subscriptions available from networks operators are discussed below:
Circuit Switched Data (CSD)
CSD is the original GSM network data transfer method, used in the past for WAP. Almost all GSM networks have this capability at 9.6 kbps. It is possible for the network to upgrade the speed to 14.4 kbps. The GC89 operates at this higher speed where available.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a type of network connection which provides “always on” mobility. The connection set up is fast and, once connected, applications may send and receive data whenever required. In today’s GPRS networks, the GC89 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kbps and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kbps.
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput by a factor of 3. GPRS networks enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as
Short Message Service (SMS)
