Connect to a network

To be able to connect to a network you need a network profile. Easy connection
profile with predefined settings is automatically created during software
installation. This profile enables network access without your needing to
configure any settings.
If you want to create a profile yourself, see "Create new profiles" on page 21 for
more information.
You need a SIM card to be able to establish a GSM or GPRS connection.
To create a network connection:
1 Slide the SIM card into the smart card slot of the Nokia
establish a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connection where
information is sent in short bursts of data over the cellular network. The
benefit of sending data in packets is that the network is occupied only when
sending or receiving data. GPRS is ideal for applications which transmit data in
short bursts, such as Web browsers. The data rate can be up to 40.2 Kbit/s. You
need to subscribe to the GPRS service.
connect to a GSM network where you can send and receive text and picture
messages. You can also connect to the Internet or your e-mail by making a
data call, which enables data transmission rates of up to 14.4 Kbit/s. You can
make GSM data calls if your network supports data calls and you have
subscribed to this service.
connect to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and send and receive data
like in a regular wired LAN. The data rate in WLAN can be up to 11 Mbit/s.
