You may receive access point settings in a message from a service provider. Some
or all access points may be preset for your device by your service provider, and you
may not be able to change, create, edit, or remove them.
When you select one of the access point groups (

the access point types:

To create a new access point, select
Access point. The device asks you to check
for available connections. After the search, connections that are already available
are displayed and can be shared by a new access point. If you skip this step, you
are asked to select a connection method and to define the settings needed.
To edit the settings of an access point, select one of the access point groups, scroll
to an access point, and select Edit. Use the instructions provided by your service
provider to edit the following:
● Connection name — Enter a name for the connection.
● Data bearer — Select the data connection type.
Depending on the data connection you select, only certain setting fields are
available. Fill in all fields marked with Must be defined or with a red *. Other fields
can be left empty, unless your service provider has instructed otherwise.
To use a data connection, your service provider must support this feature, and if
necessary, activate it for your SIM card.
Packet data (GPRS) settings
Select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings and Connection > Packet data.
Your device supports packet data connections, such as GPRS in the GSM network.
When you are using your device in GSM and UMTS networks, it is possible to have
multiple data connections active at the same time; access points can share a data
connection, and data connections remain active, for example, during voice calls.
