Settings With GPRS, you can stay connected to the mobile Internet and allow faster downloads without completing a dial-up connection. Applications using GPRS include MMS, SMS messaging, browsing sessions, remote synchronization, Java application downloading, and the PC dial-up. Your phone can support three simultaneous GPRS connections. Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS, or EDGE) is similar to GPRS but the connection is faster. To use the EDGE service, subscribe to it from your service provider, and save the GPRS settings for the functions that you want to use over the EDGE network. For information on pricing, availability, and data transfer speed, contact your service provider. When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EDGE instead of GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot choose between EDGE and GPRS, but for some applications, such as browsing mobile Internet pages, you may be able to select either GPRS or CSD. The phone can support three simultaneous GPRS connections. DEFINE GPRS CONNECTION Depending on your service, you may be able to define when the phone connects to the GPRS or EDGE network. Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS Connection and one of the following: When needed-The phone registers and connects to the GPRS or EDGE network only if you use a function that needs the GPRS service. The connection closes when you exit the application. Establishing a connection may take longer than when Always online is selected. Always online-The phone automatically registers to a GPRS or EDGE network when you switch the phone on, if the network is available in your location. When you start an application using GPRS, the connection between the phone and the network is established. When you exit the application, the connection ends, but the phone is still registered to the network. GPRS MODEM SETTINGS When you use your Nokia phone as a wireless modem, you can enable a GPRS mobile link from your PC or laptop computer. Before you can use GPRS technology, you must save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used over GPRS. Some service providers may have already set up information for your GPRS dial-up connection. In order to use GPRS, you must first subscribe to the network service. Contact your service provider for details. 1 Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS modem settings > Active access point and the access point that you want to activate.
