Overview of the functions in the phone
■ General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS technology is a network service that allows mobile phones to be used for sending and receiving
data over an Internet Protocol (IP) -based network. GPRS is a data bearer that enables wireless access
to data networks such as the Internet. The applications that may use GPRS are MMS and SMS
messaging (SMS, Short Message Service), browsing sessions and Java application downloading. Note
that your phone supports two simultaneous GPRS connections. For example, you can receive
multimedia messages and, at the same time, have an ongoing browsing session.
Before you can use GPRS technology
• Contact your network operator or service provider for availability and subscription to the GPRS
service.
• Save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used over GPRS.
See Setting up the phone for a service on page 96 and Message settings on page 57.
Pricing for GPRS and applications
Both the active GPRS connection and the applications used over GPRS are priced. For more detailed
information on pricing, contact your network operator or service provider.
