90 Getting Connected
6.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your device is equipped with powerful networking functions that enable
you to connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi, GPRS (General Packet
Radio Service) or the mobile phone network
Connecting your device to the Internet through a private or free
wireless network is your best choice since this will not incur any cost.
Take note, however, that using Wi-Fi on your device will drain battery
power faster. For more information about setting up a Wi-Fi connection,
see “Using Wi-Fi” later in this chapter.
In times when you are not within the coverage of a wireless network,
you can either use GPRS or phone dial-up to connect your device to
the Internet or your corporate network. Your device has two groups of
connection settings: My ISP (Internet Service Provider) and My Work
Network. The My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet,
while My Work Network settings can be used to connect to any private,
corporate network.
To set up a GPRS connection to the Internet
GPRS is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to
be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use
GPRS to connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your
device. You will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) by your wireless service
provider when you are sending or receiving information via GPRS.
If GPRS settings are not preset on your device, obtain the Access
point name from your wireless service provider. Also, check with your
wireless service provider if a user name and password are required.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.
2. Under My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection.
