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.
