GPRS
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a technology used to send and
receive data via short bursts or packets over the wireless network. GPRS
allows you to stay connected to the Internet. This feature allows for faster
downloads of information and no time spent completing a dial-up connection.
Applications using GPRS include the WAP browser, text messaging and
dial-up connections for making digital data calls.
• For information about how to track time spent online, see "Check data
calls" on page 57.
• For information about sending messages via GPRS, see "Choose other
message settings" on page 72.
• For information about dial-up connections, refer to "GPRS dial-up
connections" on page 154.
• For availability, pricing, and subscription to GPRS services, contact
your service provider.
The service provider's role
Because wireless Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone,
your wireless service provider now becomes your "wireless Internet service
provider" as well.
It is likely that your service provider has created a home page and set up your
browser to go to this page when you log on to the Internet. Once at your
service provider's home page, you will find links to a number of other sites.

• SET UP FOR BROWSING

You should not need to do anything to set up your phone for browsing.
Your service provider usually modifies the appropriate settings when you
subscribe to the feature. Contact your service provider if you have problems
using the browser.

• SIGN ON TO THE INTERNET

You use the Services menu to connect to the Internet.
