Mobile service provider settings

The Mobile Service Provider settings identify the service provider to use in connecting to the mobile network. Information displayed varies by product and whether the remote service provider is GSM- or CDMA-based. Settings that may be displayed on this screen include:

• Service Provider: For GSM-based mobile service providers, this is the service provider to use in connecting to the mobile network. The service provider must match the provider that supplied the SIM card. This must match the provider that supplied the SIM card. (Not displayed for CDMA products.)
• Service Plan: For GSM-based mobile service providers, this is the service plan to use in connecting to the mobile network. This setting must match the plan that the service provider has supplied to you. This is also sometimes known as the APN (Access Point Name).
• Username and Password: For GSM-based mobile service providers, these settings are the user name and password of the mobile connection needed to access the mobile network.

• Device provisioning state: For CDMA-based mobile service providers, the text below the Service Provider selection list states whether the device has already been provisioned. If the device has not yet been provisioned, clicking the Provision Device button launches a wizard for provisioning the device. Mobile device provisioning is described next.

  

  If the device has been provisioned, text similar to the following appears: “This device has been properly provisioned. No further settings are necessary to communicate on the network. To re-provision this device for any reason (please use caution), click here”.
