General packet radio service. GPRS allows mobile devices wireless access to data networks (network service). GPRS uses packet data technology where information is sent in short bursts over the mobile network. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the network is occupied only when sending or receiving data. As GPRS uses the network efficiently, it allows for quick data connection setup and fast data transmission speeds.
You must subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and subscription to GPRS, contact your service provider.
During a voice call, you cannot establish a GPRS connection, and any existing GPRS connection is put on hold unless the network supports dual transfer mode.
EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS) is similar to GPRS, but it enables faster connection. For more information on the availability of EGPRS and data transfer speed, contact your service provider.
