Set up the connection
Some service providers may have customized the options on the Services menu.
Contact your service provider for more information if the options shown here are
not available. GPRS may not be available in all wireless networks. The establishment
and continuation of a GPRS and mobile Internet connection depends on network
availability, service provider support, and signal strength.
You can choose one of the following options from Menu > Services > Settings >
Edit active service settings > GPRS connection:
Always online—The GPRS connection is established when you turn your phone on.
The connection continues in the background even after you exit the WAP browser,
depending on network coverage.
When needed—The GPRS connection is established when you use the WAP browser
and is closed when you exit the WAP browser.
The following options shows how to end your browsing session, depending on
which option you have chosen for your GPRS connection.

Receive a call while online
If you are using the WAP browser over GPRS, you can still receive a voice call. Your
data call is put on hold and you can choose to answer the call.

After you end your voice call, the GPRS connection automatically resumes.
Make a call while online
When you are browsing a WAP card and want to make a call to a number on the
WAP page, you can select Use number. Your phone then searches the information
on the WAP card for a string of numbers. You can then choose from the number
or numbers displayed to place the call.
An alternate way is to press the End key to disconnect from the mobile Internet,
then place your call by searching Contacts for a name and number or by keying in
the phone number.
