General
Phone language—You can change the language for the display texts in 
your phone. This change will also affect the format used for date and time 
and the separators used, for example, in calculations. There are three 
languages installed in your phone. If you select Automatic, the phone 
selects the language according to the information on your SIM card. After 
you have changed the display text language, you must restart the phone. 
Note: Changing the settings for Phone language or Writing language 
affects every application in your phone and the change remains 
effective until you change these settings again.

 CONNECTION SETTINGS
Data connections and access points
To define settings for access points, go to Settings→ Connection settings→ 
Access points. 
A data connection is required to connect to an access point. Your phone 
supports three kinds of data connections:
GSM data call ( )
GSM high-speed data call ( )
Packet data (GPRS) connection ( )
There are three different kinds of access points that you can define: MMS 
access point, browser access point, and Internet access point (IAP). Check 
with your service provider for the kind of access point needed for the service 
you wish to access. You need to define access point settings, if you want to 
perform the following actions:
Send and receive multimedia messages
Send and receive e-mail
Browse pages
Download Java
 applications
Use Image upload
Use your phone as a modem
Note: Access point—The point where your phone connects to the 
Internet by way of a data call or packet data connection. An access 
point can be provided, for example, by a commercial Internet service 
provider (ISP), or service provider. For more information, see “Access 
points” on p. 38. 
						

							[ 37 ]Settings
GSM DATA CALLS
A GSM data call enables data transmission rates to a maximum of 
14.4 kb/s. For availability and subscription to data services, contact 
your service provider.
Minimum settings needed to make a data call
To insert a set of basic GSM data call settings, go to Settings→ Connection→ 
Access points and select Options→ New access point. Fill in the following:
• Data bearer: GSM data
 Dial-up number: User defined
 Session mode: Permanent
 Data call type: Analog
 Maximum data speed: Automatic
See “Access points” on p. 38 for further information on how to create, 
delete, and edit an access point.
High-speed data call (High-Speed Circuit Switched Data, HSCSD)
High-speed data enables data transmission rates to a maximum of 43.2 
kb/s, which is three times faster than the standard data rates of the GSM 
system. HSCSD is comparable to the speed of many computer modems 
that communicate with todays fixed telephone systems. 
For availability and subscription to high-speed data services, please 
contact your service provider.
Note: Sending data in HSCSD mode may drain the phone’s battery 
faster than normal voice or data calls, as the phone may send data 
more frequently to the system.
The Settings wizard program included in the PC Suite can help you configure 
access point and mailbox settings. You can also copy existing settings, for 
example, from your computer to your phone. See the CD-ROM supplied in 
the sales package. 
						

							[ 38 ] GPRS PACKET DATA
Packet data, or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), uses packet data 
technology where information is sent in short bursts of data over the 
mobile system. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the system 
is occupied only when sending or receiving data. Because GPRS uses the 
system efficiently, it allows for quick data connection set up and fast data 
transmission speeds.
Minimum settings needed to make a packet data connection
You need to subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and 
subscription to GPRS, contact your service provider.
Go to Settings→ Connection settings→ Access points and select 
Options→ New access point. Fill in the following: Data bearer: GPRS 
and Access point name: enter the name given to you by your service 
provider. See “Create an access point” on p. 38 for further information.
Pricing for packet data and applications
Both the active GPRS connection and the applications used over GPRS 
require a fee (for example, using services, sending and receiving data, and 
text messages). For more detailed information on fees, contact your 
service provider.
 ACCESS POINTS
Create an access point
Options in the Access points list are: Edit, 
New access point, Delete, Help, and Exit.

Access points, you will be asked if you want to 
create one.

Here you can see a short explanation for every setting that may be needed 
for different data connections and access points.
Note: Start entering settings on Connection name and go down 
the list from there because depending on which data connection 
you select (Data bearer) or whether you need to insert a Gateway 
IP address, only certain setting fields are available.
Note: Follow the instructions given to you by your service provider 
very carefully.
Connection name—Give a descriptive name for the connection.
Data bearer—The options are GSM data, High speed GSM, and GPRS. 
Depending on what data connection you select, only certain setting fields 
are available. Fill in all fields marked with Must be defined, or marked 
with a red asterisk. Other fields can be left empty, unless you have been 
instructed otherwise by your service provider. 
						

							[ 40 ] See also “Settings for multimedia messages” on p. 101, “Settings for e-mail” 
on p. 103, and “Phone browser service settings” on p. 126.
Note: To use a data connection, the system 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 system. You obtain the 
access point name from your service provider.
Dial-up number (for GSM data and high-speed data only)—The modem 
telephone number of the access point.
User name—Write a user name if required by the service provider. 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.
When you are writing, press the * key to open the special characters table. 
Press the 0 key to enter a space.

Homepage—Depending on what you are setting up, enter one of 
the following: 
the service address
the address of the multimedia messaging center 
						

							[ 41 ]Settings
Note: ISDN connections are a way to establish a data call between 
your phone and your access point. ISDN connections are digital from 
end to end and as such offer quicker set-up times and faster data 
rates than analog connections. In order to use an ISDN connection, 
both your service provider and your Internet service provider must 
support it.
Connection security—Choose whether Transport Layer Security (TLS) is used 
for the connection. Follow the instructions from your service provider.
Session mode—Permanent / Temporary.
Data call type (for GSM data and high-speed data only)—Analog, ISDN 
v. 110, or ISDN v.120 defines whether the phone uses an analog or digital 
connection. This setting depends on both your GSM service provider and 
Internet Service Provider (ISP), because some GSM systems do not support 
certain types of ISDN connections. For details, contact your ISP. If ISDN 
connections are available, they establish connections more quickly than 
analog methods.
Maximum data speed (for GSM data and high-speed data only)—The 
options are Automatic / 9600 / 14400 / 19200 / 28800 / 38400 / 43200, 
depending on what you have chosen in Session mode and Data call type. 
This option allows you to limit the maximum connection speed when 
high-speed data is used. Higher data rates may cost more, depending 
on the system service provider.
Note: The speeds above represent the maximum speed at which 
your connection will operate. During the connection, the operating 
speed may be less, depending on system conditions.
Note: DNS—Domain Name Service. An Internet service that translates 
domain names such as www.nokia.com into IP addresses like 
192.100.124.195. 
Options→ Advanced settings
Phone IP address—The IP address of your phone.
Primary name server—The IP address of the primary DNS server.
Second name server—The IP address of the secondary DNS server.
