General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a packet data technology where information is sent in short bursts of data
over the mobile network. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the
network is occupied only when sending or receiving data. GPRS as such is a data
bearer that enables wireless access to data networks like the Internet. The
applications that use GPRS are SMS messaging and GPRS dial-up (for example,
the Internet and e-mail).
Before you can use GPRS technology:
•
You need to subscribe to GPRS service.
For availability and subscription to GPRS service, contact your service provider
or network operator.
