VPN settings11.2.5
A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides mobile
devices with access to network resources and software applications on
their home network, when they connect via other wireless or wired
networks. Mobile VPNs are used in environments where workers need to
keep application sessions open at all times, throughout the working day,
as the user connects via various wireless networks, encounters gaps in
coverage, or suspend-and-resumes their devices to preserve battery life. A
conventional VPN cannot survive such events because the network tunnel
is disrupted, causing applications to disconnect, time out, fail, or even the
computing device itself to crash.
For more information of VPN, please refer to section 6.6 Connecting to
virtual private networks.

Data connection SIM
You can either set the data connection via SIM1/SIM2, or select Do
not connect data to prevent your phone from transmitting data on
any mobile networks. This is useful to avoid incurring significant data use
charges on local carrier mobile networks, particularly if you do not have a
mobile data agreement on one of the SIMs.
GPRS transfer pref.
You can connect to a GPRS service and GSM service (voice, SMS), but
using only one or the other at a given time. Mark the check box of GPRS
transfer pref. to prevent data transmission during a voice call.
Call settings11.3

features offered by your carrier. You can also use Call settings to configure
the phone so that it can place outgoing calls only to a fixed set of phone
numbers.
For dual SIM, touch either SIM1 or SIM2 on the above tabs to complete
the operation.
Fixed Dialing Numbers11.3.1
Fixed Dialing Number (FDN) is a service mode of SIM, where outgoing
calls are restricted to a set of phone numbers. These numbers are added
to the FDN list. The most common practical application of FDN is for
parents to restrict the phone numbers to which their children can dial.
For security reasons, you’ll be prompted to enable FDN by entering SIM
PIN2 which is usually acquired from your service provider or SIM maker.
