Standard GPRS (general Service of radio by packages) very allows to data transfer rates superiors to those of previous standard GSM (global System for movable communications). In order to use this service, it póngase in contact with the Operator of moving grid to find out if its movable telephone is compatible with GPRS, and, next, it suscríbase to an account GPRS. Next, it will only have to modify the configuration of the computer of Palm hand to adapt it at which it provides the Operator of moving grid.

Note: The Bluetooth connectivity is not available for handheld Palm with Palm OS 3.x. If it owns a device with these characteristics, and wishes to connect itself to a service GPRS, uses a connection by infrared to a compatible movable telephone.

The computer of Palm hand must be formed correctly to accede to Internet by means of the parameters GPRS that the Operator of corresponding moving grid provides. Each operator provides his own specific configuration, without direct support in palmOne.

Note: In way GPRS, the computer of Palm hand it is not connected to a ISP, but it asks for a direction IP of the Operator of moving grid GPRS.

Requirements of the movable telephone

  • A compatible telephone GPRS with the technology of Bluetooth radio. (It consults the manual of the movable telephone).
  • A card SIM prepared for GPRS. (Póngase in contact with the Operator of moving grid to activate the service.)
  • Detailed information of the Operator of moving grid.
