Packet data connections in GSM and UMTS networks

When you are using your phone in GSM and UMTS networks it is possible to have multiple
data connections active at the same time; access points can share a data connection; and
data connections remain active (for example, during voice calls). For information on how
to see how many data connections are active, see Connection manager, p. ’91’. See also
network indicators in Essential indicators, p. ’15’.

The following indicators may appear below the signal indicator, depending on which
network you are using:

- GSM network, packet data is available in the network.

- GSM network, packet data connection is active, data is being transferred.

- GSM network, multiple packet data connections are active.

- GSM network, packet data connection is on hold. (This can happen during a voice call,

for example.)

- UMTS network, packet data is available in the network.

- UMTS network, packet data connection is active, data is being transferred.

- UMTS network, multiple packet data connections are active.

- UMTS network, packet data connection is on hold.
