GSM network
If you are logged on to a GSM network, you will see
the name of that network. You will also see a “G” icon
if you are on a GPRS network. This indicates that you
have wireless data access.
Once you’re logged on to a network, you will be able
to make/receive calls and send/receive text messages.
If a data network is available (GPRS), you will see a “G”
icon, which means you may also send and receive
emails, and use other data services.
Keep in mind that email and browser services are not
supported on all networks, so you may need to
manually select a network that supports data.
Searching for GSM networks that support
data access:
In the event that your Samsung ACE smartphone is
set to GSM and doesn’t automatically select a network
that supports data access (email and browser), you
will need to do the following:

in the Int’l GSM menu:
Select Start
Go to International Usage
Your smartphone should be set to Int’l GSM
If so, select Phone Settings
Go to Networks
Confirm that Network Selection is set to Manual
If selection is set to Manual, continue with the
following steps:
Select Menu
Go to Find a Network and press OK
Your smartphone will search for all available networks
in the area. Select individual networks one by one until
you are able to log on to one that allows data (GPRS)
usage. Data connectivity can be confirmed by locating
the “G” icon on the status bar.
