Packet data
GPRS (general packet radio service) enables wireless access for mobile phones to data networks (network service). GPRS uses
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. As GPRS uses the network efficiently, it allows
for quick data connection set-up and fast data transmission speeds.
You must subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and subscription to GPRS, contact your network operator or service
provider.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) is similar to GPRS, but it enables faster connection. For more information on the availability of EGPRS
and data transfer speed, contact your network operator or service provider. Note that when you have selected GPRS as a data
bearer, the device uses EGPRS instead of GPRS if this is available in the network.
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.
