GPRS, EDGE, CSD
With your phone you can use general packet radio service (GPRS), and circuit
switched data (CSD).
With GPRS, you can stay connected to the Internet and allow for faster downloads
without completing a dial-up connection. Applications using GPRS include the
browser, and text messaging.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), also known as EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution)
is similar to GPRS but the connection is up to 3 times as fast.
To use the EDGE service, subscribe to it from your service provider and save the GPRS
settings for the functions that you want to use over the EDGE network. For information
on pricing, availability, and data transfer speed, contact your service provider.
When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EDGE instead of
GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot choose between EDGE and
GPRS, but for some applications, such as browsing WAP or XHTML pages, you may
be able to select either GPRS or CSD.
DEFINE GPRS CONNECTION
Depending on your service, you may be able to define when the phone connects to
the GPRS or EDGE network.
From the menus, select Settings > Connectivity > GPRS > GPRS Connection and
one of the following:
When needed—The phone registers and connects to the GPRS or EDGE network
only if you use a function that needs the GPRS service. Establishing a connection
may take longer than when Always online is selected.
Always online—The phone automatically registers to a GPRS or EDGE network
when you switch the phone on, if the network is available in your location.
GPRS ICONS
The following icons appear in the upper left corner of the screen to show you the
status of your GPRS connection.
Indicates that the GPRS connection mode is Always online and the
GPRS service is available.
Indicates that the GPRS connection has been interrupted by a voice call or
text message. The phone tries to reestablish the connection after the call.
Indicates an active GPRS connection, for example, when you are using
the browser.
