AT&T Service Options
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile
broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The
AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900 MHz network (also known
as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless
multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage
of offering simultaneous voice and data services.
In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive
service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000
US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data
speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced
data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video
messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also
enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than
190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where
AT&T offers international data roaming.
With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service,
which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible
phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the
direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in
an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled
phone.)
You get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on
the go, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music
video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find
out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. And it has a built-in web
browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net
service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather
updates, download games and ringtones, and more.
Note that if you want to enjoy the full audio and video capabilities of your
UMTS phone, be sure to select a MEdia Max service plan option during checkout.
If you do not sign up for a MEdia Max service plan option, you will be paying
per KB when you use the over-the-air UMTS audio and video features on your phone
(upwards of $10 per minute).
