Getting started with Internet and Messages
Introduction 
Before you can use 
Internet
 and 
Messages
 to access the 
Internet and send or receive messages, you will need to make 
some user-specific settings in the 
Control Panel
Service provider
You will need a service provider to connect your P910i to the 
network.The service provider could be:
• An Internet Service Provider (ISP) which connects you to the 
Internet.
• An access point provided by your network operator.
• A private service provider such as your company or your 
bank. 
You will need to enter specific service provider details into your 
P910i to set up an Internet account. It can hold the details of 
multiple service providers, for example, you may have separate 
Internet and corporate accounts. 
Your network operator or retailer may have pre-installed 
services, check with them.
Connection type
When your P910i connects to a service provider, it will use a 
GSM or GPRS network provided by a network operator. Many 
network operators offer both GPRS and GSM services.
The connection type defines which network your account uses 
to connect to the Internet. GPRS Internet accounts use the GPRS 
network, and Dial-Up Internet accounts use the GSM network. 
GPRS
If your network operator supports GPRS, a GPRS Internet 
account allows you to:
• Remain permanently connected to the Internet without being 
charged for connection time. With a GPRS account, you are 
charged for the amount of information you view, download 
or send when your are connected to the Internet. Check your 
operator for details of your subscription.
• Avoid having to reconnect to the Internet if the connection is 
broken.
Dial-up
For both Dial-Up and High-Speed Dial-Up accounts, you are 
charged for the length of time you are connected. If your 
network operator supports them, you can increase your 
connection speed (at a cost) by setting up a high-speed account.
