GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
GPRS is a technology that allows mobile phones to be used for sending and receiving data over the
mobile network. GPRS as such is a data bearer that enables wireless access to data networks like the
Internet. The applications that use GPRS are WAP, SMS messaging and the GPRS dial-up (for example,
Internet and e-mail).
Before you can use GPRS technology
• You need to subscribe to the GPRS service.
For availability and subscription to GPRS service, contact your network operator or service provider.
• You need to save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used over GPRS.
