Packet data connections in GSM networks
When you use your phone in GSM networks, multiple data
connections can be active at the same time, access points
can share a data connection, and data connections remain
active during voice calls. To check the active data
connections, see "Connection manager," p. 82.
The following indicators may be displayed below the signal
indicator, depending on which network you use:
GSM network, packet data is available in the network.
GSM network, packet data connection is active, data is
being transferred.
GSM network, multiple packet data connections
are active.
GSM network, packet data connection is on hold.
(For example, this can happen during a voice call.)
