Connecting to the Internet

To browse the web and access web-based utilities such as instant
messaging, one of these data networking connections must be
available:

•GPRS

•EDGE

•3G

•HSPA

•Wi-Fi

GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSPA

To connect to the web using GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA

Your device is configured with GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA network
available with the service provider of the SIM card installed in your
device. However, this is only limited to voice calling and text
messaging. If a Wi-Fi connection is currently available, the device
automatically uses the Wi-Fi connection to access the Internet. The
Internet connection through GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA becomes
temporarily inactive, until the Wi-Fi connection ends.

If you wish to connect to the Internet using a GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or
HSPA data network:

1 Touch the Home button → Menu button → Settings→

Wireless & networks, then touch Wi-Fi to disable it.

2 Touch the Home button → Menu button → Settings→

Wireless & networks→ Mobile networks, then touch Data
enabled to enable it.

NOTE: Depending on whether a GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA network is

currently in use, a corresponding data network icon appears on the
status bar after a data connection is established. For information about
the mapping of the data network icons, see Status Bar.

to its factory default settings.

NOTE: Your device has the ability to maintain a constant Internet

connection through Wi-Fi or mobile networks (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or
