General information
Access points
An access point is the point where your phone connects to
the Internet by way of a data call or packet data
connection. An access point can be provided, for example,
by a commercial Internet service provider for mobile
devices, or by a service provider.
There are three different kinds of access points that you
can define: MMS access point, browser access point, and
Internet access point (IAP). Check with your service
provider for what kind of an access point is needed for the
service you wish to access. You need to set access point
settings to:
• send and receive multimedia messages, or have a chat
• send and receive e-mail,
• browse web pages,
TM
• download Java applications,
• use your phone as a modem.
Packet data (general packet radio service, GPRS)
Packet data, or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), uses
packet data technology where information is sent in short
bursts of data over the mobile network. The benefit of
sending data in packets is that the network is occupied only
when sending or receiving data. Because GPRS uses the
network efficiently, it allows for quick data connection set
up and fast data transmission speeds.
