Access points
To create a new access point or edit an existing access point, select
Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points > Options >
New access point or Edit. If you create a new access point, use the
settings of an existing access point as a basis by selecting Use existing
settings, or start with default settings by selecting Use default settings.
Follow the instructions from your network operator or service provider.
Connection name — to give a descriptive name for the connection
Data bearer — The options are Packet data, Data call, and High speed
(GSM). Depending on what data connection you select, only certain
setting fields are available. Fill in all fields marked with Must be defined,
or with an asterisk. Other fields can be left empty, unless you have been
instructed otherwise by your service provider.
To be able to use a data connection, the network operator or service
provider must support this feature, and if necessary, activate it for your
SIM card.
Access point name (for packet data only) — The access point name is
needed to establish a connection to the GPRS network. You obtain the
access point name from your network operator or service provider.
Dial-up number (for data call only) — the modem telephone number of
the access point
User name — The user name may be needed to make a data connection
and is usually provided by the service provider. The user name is often
case-sensitive.

log onto a server, or if you do not want to save your password to the
phone, select Yes.
Password — A password may be needed to make a data connection, and
is usually provided by the service provider. The password is often
case-sensitive.
