Which Access Point to Use?

A mobile phone can connect to the Internet via several different connection (a.k.a. access point) configurations. You need to specify which connection to use when you're using the phone as a modem. In most cases, you can select the access point using the phone-connection software on the computer (see the instructions in the next several sections). Or you can set the active access point on the phone via the Tools>Settings>Connection>GPRS>Access Point menu on a Series 60 device, or the Settings>Connectivity>GPRS>GPRS Modem Settings menu on a Series 40 device.

To share the network from the phone to the computer, you need to subscribe to an Internet data plan that does not require WAP gateways (most handset data plans will support WAP, HTTP, and email, but little more than that). Remember to select the Internet access point for that plan for the phone modem.
