Access points
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
• WAP access point to view web pages
• Internet access point (IAP) (for example, to send and receive e-mail)
Check which kind of access point you need with your service provider for the
service you wish to access. For availability and subscription to data connection
services, contact your service provider.
You may receive access point settings in a message from your service provider, or
you may have preset access point settings in your device.
