70 Getting Connected

5.1 Connecting to the Internet

Your phone’s powerful networking capabilities allow you to access

the Internet or your corporate network at work through wireless and

conventional connections. Specifically, you can configure your phone to

establish a connection via Dial-up, GPRS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Virtual Private

Network (VPN), or Proxy.

With an active connection on your phone, you can browse the Web,

download e-mails, or chat using MSN Messenger. Check with your service

provider to see if a connection has already been set up for you, and if over-

the-air configuration is supported.

If you need to manually set up a connection, it is important that you obtain

the following information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the

company whose intranet you are trying to access:

ISP server phone number

User name

Password

Access point name (required for GPRS connection)

Domain name (required for accessing a corporate network or an

intranet)

Set up a GPRS connection

GPRS is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to be sent

and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use GPRS to

connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your phone. When

you use GPRS, you will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) when sending or receiving

information.

Note

Check with your service provider how much it charges for its GPRS service.

If GPRS settings are not preset on your phone, obtain the Access point

name from your wireless service provider. Also, check with your wireless

service provider if a user name and password are required.
