About data connections and access points

Your game deck supports three kinds of data connections: a GSM data call (
speed data call ( ), and GPRS connection (
mode', p. 21. A data connection is required to connect to an access point. There are three
different kinds of access points that you can define:
• MMS access point to, for example, send and receive multimedia messages,
• access point for the Web application, to view WML or XHTML pages, and
• Internet access point (IAP) to, for example, send and receive e-mail.
Check with your service provider what kind of an access point is needed for the service you
wish to access. For availability and subscription to data call, high speed data call and GPRS
connection services, contact your network operator or service provider.
Minimum settings needed to make a data call
To insert a set of very basic GSM data call settings, go to Tools→ Settings→
Connection→ Access points and select Options→ New access point. Fill in the following:
Data bearer: Data call, Dial-up number: obtained from service provider, Data call type:
Analogue, and Maximum data speed: Automatic.
Note: Sending data in HSCSD mode may drain the game deck's battery faster than
normal voice or data calls, as the game deck may send data more frequently to the
network.
Minimum settings needed to make a GPRS connection
You need to subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and subscription to GPRS,
contact your network operator or service provider. GPRS connections and transmission may
be subject to separate fees. See also 'GPRS counter', p. 31.
