Connectivity
Your device offers several options to
connect to the internet or to another
compatible device or PC. For more
information on other connectivity
methods, see the extended user guide on
the product support pages of the Nokia
website.

Data connections and access points

Your device supports packet data
connections (network service), such as
GPRS in the GSM network. When you use
your device in GSM and 3G networks,
multiple data connections can be active at
the same time, and access points can
share a data connection. In the 3G
network, data connections remain active
during voice calls.
You can also use a WLAN data connection.
Only one connection in one wireless LAN
can be active at a time, but several
applications can use the same internet
access point.
To establish a data connection, an access
point is required. You can define different
kinds of access points, such as the
following:
MMS access point to send and receive
•
multimedia messages
Internet access point (IAP) to send and
•
receive e-mail and connect to the
internet
Check the type of access point you need
with your service provider for the service
you want to access. For availability and
subscription to packet data connection
services, contact your service provider.
