Use another application while on a call

of network your smartphone is connected to. How can you tell which kind of
network you’re connected to? See Icons in the title bar.
GPRS network: You can use the personal information applications
(Contacts, Calendar, and so on) and send and receive text messages. But
some kinds of data connections are not possible: You cannot browse the
