| More On MobileMedia |
| Can I share my MobileMedia plan? |
You cannot share MobileMedia data rate plans with other devices or users.
Each device must have its own MobileMedia data rate plan.
|
| Where can I use MobileMedia? |
Please see the maps in this brochure for a description of the Edge Wireless MobileMedia Network.
This Network is comprised of GPRS and Enhanced Data (EDGE) coverage areas.
|
| What is the difference between GPRS/EDGE? |
GPRS and EDGE are the two technologies used to deliver MobileMedia content to your device.
GPRS-enabled devices can access the MobileMedia Network at speeds up to 40KB/sec. EDGE-enabled devices can access the MobileMedia Network at speeds up to 100KB/sec.
EDGE-enabled devices will revert to GPRS speeds when the device leaves the Enhanced Data Network area.
|
| Can I roam with MobileMedia? |
Yes! You can use MobileMedia anywhere you receive a GPRS or EDGE signal.
Local MobileMedia plans will incur an additional 0.8¢/KB charge while outside the Edge Wireless MobileMedia Network.
|
| What the heck are Kilobytes & Megabytes? |
Kilobytes (KB) and Megabytes (MB) are measurements of data (bytes).
There are 1,024 Kilobytes in every Megabyte. MobileMedia plans are sold according to how many megabytes of data you will send or receive every month.
So, a Local 1MB plan will give you 1 megabyte of data delivery/downloading every month.
|
| OK, then how much is a megabyte really? |
Above you will see a chart that explains the typical size of various MobileMedia data activities. So, according to the chart, with 1 MB you could typically check about 200 e-mails; or download 150 WAP web pages; or download 340 Polyphonic ringtones; or download 17 True Tone ringtones; or send 17 MMS picture messages; or download 10 games. Of course you can do any combination of data activities with your particular rate plan. If you go over, additional data is only 0.8¢/KB.
|
| How can I tell how much data I am using? |
Typically, every time you engage in a data activity the size of the activity will be displayed on your phone.
For example, when typing an e-mail or MMS message, the size of the message will typically be displayed on your device before delivery.
Web pages will typically display their size as they load in your browser.
Games and ringtones will also typically display their sizes before purchasing for download.
