MC9062 GSM/GPRS Service Verification

GSM/GPRS phone and data services require a live SIM card, obtained from a service provider,
installed in the GSM phone/mobile computer. The SIM card has embedded circuitry on one side of its
surface which, when inserted into a GSM phone, provides phone service on a GSM network. The SIM
card provides a phone number, determines the features or services available to the subscriber and
identifies the subscriber to the network.
In addition to SIM card installation, various settings may be required for the mobile computer to
operate as a phone with data connection features.

computer. See
The SIM card must be GPRS enabled to connect to a GPRS network.
