An internet access point is a collection of settings, which
define how the device creates a data connection to the
network. To use e-mail and multimedia services or to browse
web pages, you must first define access points for these
services.
Some or all access points may be preset for your device by
your service provider, and you may not be able to create, edit,
or remove them.
To create a new access point, select 
Options

 >

as a basis for the new one.

in the GSM network. When you are using your device in GSM
and UMTS networks, it is possible to have multiple data
