Setting up Internet, email and MMS
With your phone you can access the Internet, send and
receive email, and send and receive MMS messages. To
do this you need to set up Internet accounts.
Setting up accounts
You access the Internet using an Internet Service
provider (ISP). You need to set up an Internet account to
do any of the following:
• Access the Internet.
• Send and receive email messages.
• Send and receive MMS messages.
• Set up and use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
There are four types of Internet accounts:
•
Data – uses a packet data connection, either on a 3G
or a GSM/GPRS network. You are charged for the
amount of data you download or send.
•
Dial up (CSD or HSCSD) – establishes a circuit-
switched data connection. You are charged for the
length of time you are connected to the Internet.
•
Bluetooth PAN – uses a Bluetooth Personal Area
Network profile to connect to a device (for example
a computer) that is connected to the Internet.
•
WLAN – uses a wireless LAN to connect to the
Internet.
Important: To use the browser or send and receive
email messages you must include the Internet account in
an Internet group account, see Group accounts on
page 106. To use MMS, you must NOT include the
Internet account for MMS in a group account.
You can create new accounts automatically or manually.
The Internet account may already be set up when you
buy the phone.
Before setting up
From your service provider, you should have received
all the details about the accounts that you have to enter,
for example the email account name and password.
Setting up accounts automatically
A convenient way of setting up an account is to ask your
service provider to send you an auto setup message.
Contact your service provider to find out if such a
service is available. You can also visit
