Like CSD calls, you are typically being billed for the air time (whether you
are transmitting/receiving data or not). In addition, the fastest CSD data
rate available is 14.4k bps.
1XRTT (1X)/packet data
Your Nokia phone is the first in a new generation of phones to take
advantage of a new higher-speed data protocol called 1XRTT (1X). The
benefits to you include:
•
Higher data transfer rates - up to 153.6k bps over the wireless
network.

•
Data on-demand - data is transmitted only when requested. You pay
only for the amount of data you transfer (vs. air time).
1X packet data services work much the same way as a PC connected to a
corporate network. Information is sent in "bursts" and "packets" only
when there is a request for information. Otherwise, the PC or phone
remains in an idle state.
Internet access using your service provider
Your wireless service provider now becomes your Internet service provider
when you use your phone as a wireless modem and use packet data or
QNC. You no longer have to configure your laptop computer or handheld
device for connection to your normal ISP when you want to browse the
Web or check your e-mail.
Access corporate network/e-mail using a VPN
Virtual Private Network (VPN) services provide an encrypted
communications "tunnel" through the Internet, creating a secure
connection between your PC and corporate network using a high-speed
or broadband Internet connection.
If you plan on using 2G or 3G packet data services to access your
corporate network's e-mail system, Intranet, or LAN, your corporate
network must have VPN services available. In addition, your network
administrator must grant you permission to access the corporate network
through the VPN.
