You may receive access point settings in a message from a
service provider. Some or all access points may be preset for
your device by your service provider, and you may not be able
to change, create, edit, or remove them.
When you open one of the access point groups ( , , ,
), you can see the access point types:

indicates a packet data access point
indicates a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point
Tip: You can create internet access points in a WLAN

To create a new access point, select Access point. The
device asks to check for available connections. After the
search, connections that are already available are shown and
can be shared by a new access point. If you skip this step, you
are asked to select a connection method and to define the
settings needed.
To edit the settings of an access point, open one of the access
point groups, and select an access point. Follow the
instructions from your service provider.

● Data bearer — Select the data connection type.
Depending on the data connection you select, only certain
setting fields are available. Fill in all fields marked with Must
be defined or with a red *. Other fields can be left empty,
unless your service provider has instructed otherwise.
To use a data connection, your service provider must support
this feature, and if necessary, activate it for your SIM card.
Create access point groups
Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity >
Destinations.
Some applications allow you to use access point groups for
network connections.
To avoid selecting a single access point every time the device
makes a network connection, you can create a group that
contains various access points to connect to that network and
define the order in which the access points are used.
For example, you can add wireless LAN (WLAN) and packet
data access points to an internet access point group, and use
the group for browsing the web. If you give WLAN the highest
priority, the device connects to the internet through WLAN,
if available, and through a packet data connection if not.
To create a new access point group, select Options >
Manage > New destination.
To add access points to an access point group, select the
group and Options > New access point. To copy an existing
access point from another group, select the group, tap the
relevant access point if it is not already highlighted, and
select Options > Organise > Copy to other dest..
To change the priority of an access point within the group,
select Options > Organise > Change priority.
