Welcome!
The.underlying.help.topics.explain.the.features.and.functionality.of.the.KPN.Mobile.Internet.Software.
Introduction
The.KPN.Mobile.Internet.Software.is.a.tool.that.helps.you.manage.your.connections.on.the.go..It.is.pre-configured.
with.the.information.you.need.to.connect.to.your.operator’s.cellular.and.wireless.networks.
The.KPN.Mobile.Internet.Software.lets.you.scan.for.WLAN.and.cellular.networks,.and.incorporates.a.hotspot.
database.that.you.can.use.to.discover.the.addresses.of.WLAN.hotspots.in.the.vicinity.
It.also.helps.you.to.be.automatically.connected.to.the.best.and.fastest.network.at.any.place.and.time..For.example.
a.WLAN.Access.Point.or.WiFi.hotspot.can.be.faster.and.cheaper.then.a.cellular.network.
You.can.use.The.KPN.Mobile.Internet.Software.to.monitor.your.network.usage.and.you.can.if.you.wish.set.
thresholds.so.that.you.will.be.warned.if.you.exceed.data.on.your.subscription.
Using.the.KPN.Mobile.Internet.Software.you.can.configure.connection.and.application.preferences.to.meet.your.
particular.needs..
The.KPN.Mobile.Internet.Software.contains.an.SMS/text.messaging.application.that.allows.you.to.send.and.receive.
messages.
The.KPN.Mobile.Internet.Software.assists.you.when.roaming,.warns.you.if.you.are.connected.to.a.different.
operator’s.network.and.risking.a.roaming.surcharge.
IMPORTANT.NOTE:.“Roaming”.is.the.ability.to.use.your.Mobile.Internet.also.in.another.country,.i.e..other.than.
your.home-country..It.depends.on.your.subscription.with.your.Mobile.Network.Operator.whether.this.is.possible.
or.not.
IN.GENERAL:.It.can.occur.that.not.all.features.and.functionalities.that.are.described.in.this.manual.are.available..
This.can.depend.on.the.type.of.subscription.or.PrePaid.that.you.have.

Answer 5:
First.wait.for.about.1.minute,.and.try.again.to.click.the.“Connect”-button.

Question 6:
How can I see which type of connection is active on my Mobile Internet Software?
Answer 6:
The.Mobile.Internet.Software.shows.you.the.type.of.connection.it.has:.LAN,.WiFi,.or.2G/3G..The.icon.that.is.
highlighted.shows.you.which.connection.is.active.

screen.(tab.‘Connection’).of.the.Mobile.Internet.Software..
45
The.software.automatically.chooses.the.best.(quickest/cheapest).connection.type.(LAN,.WiFi,.2G/3G),.while.you.
can.continue.using.internet..This.means.that.you.use.less.data.(Megabytes).over.2G/3G.Mobile.Networks.and.that.
therefore.your.bills.are.lower..
It.can.occur.that.a.data-download.that.has.already.started,.continues.over.2G/3G,.even.though.the.software.
has.already.switched.to.WLAN,.for.example..This.could.be.a.session.in.which.you.listen.to.radio.or.when.you’re.
downloading.a.file.
To.be.sure.that.all.‘new’.data.goes.over.WLAN,.cancel.downloads.that.started.on.2G/3G.and.restart.them.again.
