GPRS is short for General Packet Radio Service; it is a packet oriented Mobile Data Service for users of the 2G cellular communication systems Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and IS-136. In the 2G systems, GPRS provides data rates from 56 to 114 kbit/s.
GPRS data transmission is typically charged by the amount of data sent and received rather than connection time, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user actually is using the capacity or is in an idle state.
GPRS is used mostly in Europe and Asia. GPRS is used most commonly for cell phones. In Canada, Rogers and Fido are using GPRS.
You can send and receive emails using GPRS and browse the Internet and chat with your friends.
