During voice calls or text messaging, GPRS services are suspended and then resumed automatically after the call or text message session has ended. Using GSM/GPRS/EDGE Connections GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology is integrated into your HP iPAQ. To send or receive data over a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network, you must have an account with a mobile telephone service provider that supports GSM/ GPRS/EDGE data services and an activated SIM card. The service provider must enable the GPRS data features on your account to activate it and must have EDGE technology on the network for this capability to be used on the HP iPAQ. If EDGE is not enabled, the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS.

Impact of Data Connection When a
Phone Call is Received
Class B mobile phones may be attached to both GPRS and GSM services,
using one service at a time. Class B enables making/receiving a voice
call, or sending/receiving a text message during a GPRS connection.
During voice calls or text messaging, GPRS services are suspended and

provider must enable the GPRS data features on your account to activate
it and must have EDGE technology on the network for this capability to be
