GPRS in the GSM network. When you use your device in
GSM and UMTS networks, multiple data connections can
be active at the same time, and access points can share a
data connection.
You can also use a wireless LAN data connection. See
"Wireless LAN", on page 8. Only one connection in one
wireless LAN can be active at a time.
To establish a data connection, an access point is required.
You can define different kinds of access points as follows:
• MMS access point to send and receive multimedia
messages
• Access point for the web application to view WML or
XHTML pages
• 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.
