GPRS/EDGE
GPRS/EDGE
GPRS/EDGE technology provides a connection to the Mobile Phone Network that can be used for Web
browsing, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messaging, or accessing your corporate network.
NOTE EDGE is an enhancement to GPRS technology and enables higher speed data
connections than GPRS. This means faster phone multimedia capabilities such as sending and
receiving SMS/MMS messages, and sharing video clips. Check with your service provider to see
if they support EDGE technology. If your service provider does not support the EDGE network,
the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS.
Changing GPRS Network Settings
The first time you use your SIM Card, the GSM/GPRS Manager automatically detects the phone network
and operator and sets up the GPRS connection information for you. You can change these settings to
your own preference or create your own network settings.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Phone Data Manager.
2. If your operator name appears in the drop-down list, it is recommended that you use that connection
and, if needed, edit the default settings.
Editing Network Parameters
CAUTION Editing Network Parameters is not recommended unless you are being assisted by
your mobile phone service provider.
