68 Getting Connected
5.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your phone’s powerful networking capabilities allow you to access
the Internet or your corporate network at work through wireless and
conventional connections. Specifically, you can configure your phone to
establish a connection via Dial-up, GPRS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Virtual Private
Network (VPN), or Proxy.
With an active connection on your phone, you can browse the Web,
download e-mails, or chat using MSN Messenger. To use GPRS / EDGE / Wi-Fi
simply purchase an Internet / Data plan from T-Mobile.
If you need to manually set up a connection, it is important that you obtain
the following information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the
company whose intranet you are trying to access:
• ISP server phone number
• User name
• Password
• Access point name (required for GPRS connection)
• Domain name (required for accessing a corporate network or an
intranet)
Set up a GPRS/EDGE connection
GPRS/EDGE is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to
be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use GPRS/
EDGE to connect to the Internet or to send and receive Picture Messages on
your phone.
When you use GPRS/EDGE, you will be billed when sending or receiving
information. Check with T-Mobile how much it charges for its GPRS/EDGE
service.
Note T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE settings are already preconfigured and modifying them
may cause services to stop working.
