Your phone is connected to the 3G Network. When the arrows are animated, your phone is
transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page); when the arrows are gray, your
phone is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are
viewing a Web page that is completely open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection. To launch a
connection, see
