Setting up a GPRS connection
GPRS is a packet-based wireless communication
service which enables data to be sent and received
using mobile phones.
You can use GPRS to connect to the Internet or to
send and receive MMS messages using your
phone. When you use GPRS, you will usually be
billed based on the data traffic volume. However,
you should check billing information with your
service provider.
To set up a GPRS connection manually:
1. From the Today screen, tap Start > Settings.
2. Tap the Connections tab.
3. Tap Connections.
4. On the Tasks tab, tap Add a new modem
connection for the required group.
5. Enter a name for the connection.
6. In the Select a modem: field, select Cellular
Line (GPRS).
7. Tap Next.
8. Enter the GPRS APN for your service provider,
then tap Next.
9. Enter details for the following fields if they are
required by your service provider:
• User name: - your user name for the network.
• Password: - your password.
• Domain: - domain name.
10. If you need to specify extra settings, tap the
Advanced... button and enter the following
information:
• On the TCP/IP tab, tap the Use server-
assigned IP address radio button to
automatically configure the IP address.
Otherwise, tap the Use specific IP address
radio button and manually enter the IP
address.
• Tick the Use software compression
checkbox if required.
• Tick the Use IP header compression
checkbox if required.
• On the Servers tab, tap the Use server-
assigned addresses radio button to
automatically configure the server address.
NOTE: Before setting up a GPRS connection,
you will need to obtain the required settings
from your service provider. As a minimum, the
access point name will be required.
TIP: You can quickly and easily configure
your GPRS settings using Auto
Configurator. For details, see Auto
Configurator in Getting started.
