Data connections and access points
Your device supports packet data connections (network
service), such as GPRS in the GSM network. When you use your
device in GSM and 3G networks, multiple data connections
can be active at the same time, and access points can share
a data connection. In the 3G network, data connections
remain active during voice calls.
You can also use a WLAN data connection. Only one
connection in one wireless LAN can be active at a time, but
several applications can use the same internet access point.
To establish a data connection, an access point is required.
You can define different kinds of access points, such as the
following:
•
MMS access point to send and receive multimedia
messages
•
Internet access point (IAP) to send and receive e-mail and
connect to the internet
Check the type of access point you need with your service
provider for the service you want to access. For availability
and subscription to packet data connection services, contact
your service provider.
