connections can be active at the same time, and access
points can share a data connection. In the UMTS network,
data connections remain active during voice calls.
To establish a data connection, an access point is required.
You can define different kinds of access points:
• MMS access point to send and receive
multimedia messages
• Access point for the Web application to view WML or
XHTML pages
• Internet access point (IAP) to send and receive e-mail
and connect to the Internet
Check the type of access point you need with your service
provider for the service you want to access. For availability
and subscription to packet data connection services, contact
your network operator or service provider.
Access points
You may receive access point settings in a message from a
service provider. See "Data and settings," p. 56. Some or all
access points may be preset for your device by your service
provider or network operator, and you may not be able to
change, create, edit, or remove them.
