GPRS
Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > GPRS.
GPRS connection—If you select When available and you are in a network that
supports packet data, the phone registers to the GPRS network and sending short
messages will be done by GPRS. Also, starting an active packet data connection, for
example, to send and receive e-mail, is quicker. If you select When needed, the
phone will use a packet data connection only if you start an application or action
that needs it. The GPRS connection can be closed after it is not used by any
application.
If there is no GPRS coverage and you have chosen When available, the phone will
periodically try to establish a packet data connection.
Access point—The access point name is needed when you want to use your phone
as a packet data modem to your computer. See "Use your phone as a modem" on
page 116.
About GPRS
GPRS (general packet radio service) is a network service that allows mobile phones
to be used for sending and receiving data over an IP-based network. GPRS is a data
bearer that enables wireless access to data networks, such as the Internet.
Note: The Nokia 6620 phone is capable of using an EGPRS (enhanced
GPRS) network connection. EGPRS is also known as EDGE (enhanced data
rates for global evolution) and is similar to GPRS, but the connection is
faster. For more information on availability of EGPRS and data transfer
speed, contact your service provider.
The applications that may use GPRS are multimedia, IM and text messaging,
streaming, browsing sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML, Java application
downloading, and the PC dial-up (such as Internet and e-mail).
To use GPRS technology, you must first do the following:
• Contact your service provider for availability and subscription to the GPRS
service.
• Save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used over GPRS.
For information on pricing, contact your service provider.
Note: When you select GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses GPRS
instead of GPRS, if this is available in the network. You cannot select
between GPRS and GPRS but for some applications you may be able to
select either GPRS or GSM data (CSD).
