• (E)GPRS
General packet radio service (GPRS) is a technology used to send and
receive data in short bursts or packets over the wireless network. With
GPRS, you can stay connected to the Internet and allow faster downloads
without completing a dial-up connection. Applications using GPRS

include the xHTML browser, Java applications, MMS, and dial-up
connections for making digital data calls.
Enhanced general packet radio service (EGPRS), also known as enhanced
data rates for global revolution (EDGE), may also be available. EGPRS/
EDGE technology works just like GPRS, but the connection is roughly 2-3
times faster.
Note: In order to use (E)GPRS for dial-up connections, you must
first subscribe to the (E)GPRS network service. Contact your
service provider for details on pricing and availability.
Some service providers may have already set up information for
your (E)GPRS dial-up connection.
