Introduction

This document is a support guide for the configuration of Internet settings needed to use the Nokia E61 for data connections.

To access the Internet (in order to use WWW or mail), the following conditions must exist:

• The cellular network (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) you use must support data calls.

• The data service (also the high-speed HSCSD service if used) must be activated for your SIM card.

• You must have obtained an Internet access point (IAP) from an Internet service provider.

• Proper Internet settings must have been configured in your device.

If you are using a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you do not need SIM data service and GSM data call support.

For information about the correct settings, contact your Internet service provider or system administrator. The service provider may be able to configure the access point for you using a special SMS message or WWW page, which sets up all the necessary Internet access settings. Please contact your Internet service provider (ISP) for details.

The necessary settings for Internet configuration are provided by your Internet Service Provider. If your Internet settings are incomplete or incorrect, please contact your service provider. Depending on your ISP or network operator, you may not need to fill in all of the settings.

When you insert a SIM card, the device will read the necessary GPRS, MMS, and SMSC settings from the SIM card if they are available, and no manual configuration is necessary. Note that this may not work with all operators and SIM cards.
