Connectivity

Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not activated in your device. If so, they will not
appear on your device menu. Your device may also have been specially configured. This configuration may include changes in
menu names, menu order, and icons. Contact your service provider for more information.
Your device offers several options (network services) to connect to the Internet, a corporate intranet, or to another device or
PC. Wireless methods include wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and infrared. Your device supports a wired solution with a USB (Universal
Serial Bus) cable connection for Nokia PC Suite. Your device also allows you to communicate using net calls (Voice over IP), instant
messaging (chat), and modem-based connections. If it is available within your network, you may also communicate using the
push to talk feature.

Packet data (GPRS)

GPRS (general packet radio service) enables wireless access for mobile phones to data networks (network service). GPRS uses
packet data technology where information is sent in short bursts of data over the mobile network. The benefit of sending data
in packets is that the network is occupied only when sending or receiving data. As GPRS uses the network efficiently, it allows
for quick data connection set-up and fast data transmission speeds.
You must subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and subscription to GPRS, contact your network operator or service
provider.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) is similar to GPRS, but it enables faster connection. For more information on the availability of EGPRS
and data transfer speed, contact your network operator or service provider. Note that when you have selected GPRS as a data
bearer, the device uses EGPRS instead of GPRS if this is available in the network.
During a voice call, you cannot establish a GPRS connection, and any existing GPRS connection is put on hold unless the network
supports dual transfer mode.

UMTS (3G)

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a third-generation (3G) mobile communication system. Besides voice
and data, UMTS enables audio and video delivery to wireless devices.
Your device can automatically switch between the GSM and UMTS networks. Contact your service provider for more information
about network type.
To select which network to use, select

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. In the UMTS network, data connections remain active during voice calls. You can, for example,
browse the Web faster than previously possible while simultaneously speaking on the phone.
