HTC ATHE100 Manuel D’Utilisation

102  Getting Connected

Your device is equipped with powerful networking functions that enable 

you to connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi, GPRS (General Packet Radio 

Service) or the mobile phone network.
Connecting your device to the Internet through a private or free wireless 

network is your best choice since this will not incur any cost. Take note, 

however, that using Wi-Fi on your device will drain battery power faster. 

For more information about setting up a Wi-Fi connection, see “Using Wi-Fi” 

later in this chapter.
In times when you are not within the coverage of a wireless network, you 

can either use GPRS or phone dial-up to connect your device to the Internet 

or your corporate network. Your device has two groups of connection 

settings: My ISP (Internet Service Provider) and My Work Network. The My 

ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, while My Work Network 

settings can be used to connect to any private, corporate network.

GPRS is a data service that allows information to be sent and received across 

the wireless network. You can use GPRS to connect to the Internet or to 

send and receive MMS on your device. You will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) 

by your wireless service provider when you are sending or receiving 

information via GPRS.
If GPRS settings are not preset on your device, obtain the Access point 

name from your wireless service provider. Also, check with your wireless 

service provider if a user name and password are required.

1.  Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.
2.  Under My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection.
3.  On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the 

connection.

4.  In the Select a modem list, select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G), then tap 

Next.
