To use the EDGE service, subscribe to it from your service provider and save the
GPRS settings for the functions that you want to use over the EDGE network. For
information on pricing, availability, and data transfer speed, contact your service
provider.
When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EDGE instead of
GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot choose between EDGE and
GPRS, but for some applications, such as browsing mobile Internet pages, you may
be able to select either GPRS or CSD.
DEFINE GPRS CONNECTION
Depending on your service, you may be able to define when the phone connects to
the GPRS or EDGE network.
From the menus, select Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS Connection and
one of the following:
When needed—The phone registers and connects to the GPRS or EDGE network
only if you use a function that needs the GPRS service. Establishing a connection
may take longer than when Always online is selected.
Always online—The phone automatically registers to a GPRS or EDGE network
when you switch the phone on, if the network is available in your location.
GPRS MODEM SETTINGS
When you use your Nokia phone as a wireless modem, you can enable GPRS
connectivity from your PC or laptop computer.
Before you can use GPRS technology, you must save the GPRS settings for each of
the applications used over GPRS. Some service providers may have already set up
information for your GPRS dial-up connection.
In order to use GPRS, you must first subscribe to the network service. Contact your
service provider for details.
1 From the menus, select Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS modem
settings > Active access point and the access point that you want to activate.
2 Select Edit active access point > Alias for access point, enter the name for
the access point, and select OK.
3 Select GPRS access point, enter the access point name to establish a
connection to a GPRS network, and select OK.
You can also set the GPRS dial-up service settings (access point name) on your PC
using the Nokia Modem Options software. See the Nokia PC Suite online help for
more information. If you set the settings on both the phone and the PC, the PC
settings will be used.
