EGPRS (enhanced GPRS), also known as EDGE (enhanced data rates for global evolution) is
similar to GPRS but the connection is faster. For more information on availability of EGPRS
and data transfer speed, contact your service provider.
Note: The Nokia 6820i phone is 3GPP GSM Release 99 terminal supporting EGPRS
service. It is also designed to support Release 97 GPRS networks. However, proper
functionality in all Release 97 GPRS networks cannot be guaranteed. For more
information, contact your service provider.
The applications that may use EGPRS are multimedia, IM and text messaging, browsing
sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML, Java application downloading and the PC dial-up (such as
Internet and e-mail).
To use EGPRS technology, you must first do the following:
Contact your service provider for availability and subscription to the EGPRS service.
Save the EGPRS settings for each of the applications used over EGPRS.
For information on pricing, contact your service provider.
Note: When you select GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS instead of GPRS,
if this is available in the network. You cannot select between EGPRS and GPRS but for
some applications you may be able to select either GPRS or GSM data (CSD).
EGPRS connection
Your phone supports three simultaneous EGPRS connections. You can browse XHTML pages,
receive multimedia messages and maintain a PC dial-up connection, all at the same time.
Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS connection.
Select Always online to set the phone to automatically register to an EGPRS network when
you switch the phone on. When the GPRS connection is established, the icon appears
on the top left of the display.
When you start an application using EGPRS, the connection between the phone and the
network is established, and data transfer is possible. When you end the application, the
EGPRS connection is ended but the registration with the EGPRS network remains.
If you receive a call or a text message, or make a call during a GPRS connection, the icon
appears on the top right of the display to indicate that the EGPRS connection has been
suspended (on hold).
The GPRS and EGPRS connections are indicated by the same icons.
If you select When needed, the EGPRS registration and connection are established when
required by an application using GPRS and closed when you end the application.
