GPRS connection

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet-switched technology that allows transmission of data between mobile phones and the Internet over a GSM network. It supports an “always on” capability which uses the GSM network only during data transmission. This means users only pay for the amount of downloaded information rather than the duration of the network connection.

The communication software for creating a GPRS connection is already installed on your device. Your service provider will provide software needed to install other services, such as paging and fax services.

Once you’ve established a GPRS connection, you can:

ï Use Messaging to send and receive e-mail messages. ï Use Internet Explorer Mobile to access Web or WAP pages ï Use Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC to listen to streaming media ï Use Live Messenger to conduct IM sessions with your friends and colleagues.

Configuring your GPRS connection

To manually configure GPRS connection: See “To connect to the Internet” on page 28 for more information.

For more information on configuring your device’s GPRS setting, contact your mobile phone service provider.

Connecting to the GPRS network

NOTE: When downloading large files through GPRS data connection, incoming phone calls are not received. Phone calls are directed to voicemail.

A GPRS connection is required to connect to a GPRS network. To create a GPRS connection, the GPRS features on your GSM account must be enabled and activated on your SIM card. You may be required to configure your GPRS connection and authenticate GPRS to connect to the GPRS network. Obtain the user name and password from your mobile phone service provider.

To connect to GPRS network: 1 On the navigation bar, tap the Data connectivity icon .

Wi-Fi connection

Your SP500 supports an optional Wi-Fi hardware (IEEE 802.11b/g) you can use to scan for existing wireless local area network (WLAN) access points or hot spots. WLAN access points or hot spots can be found in homes and office or public areas such as inside airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, or other public areas. Just like in a GPRS connection, a Wi-Fi access allows you to connect to a computer, access the Internet, and send/ receive e-mail and files.

NOTE: Wi-Fi access in some areas may require a separate purchase of a service contract with a wireless service provider. Check with a Wi-Fi service provider in your area for more information.

Activating a Wi-Fi connection

You have several options to activate your SP500’s Wi-Fi connection—from the Today screen using the Wireless Manager or the Wi-Fi option under the Settings > Connections preferences. Once activated, Wi-Fi connection is indicated as On in the Wireless Manager section of the Today screen.
