GPRS
GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) permits faster Internet access and improved mobile technology through continuous connectivity. With GPRS, your phone is always connected to WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) and other data services, so you don't need to dial in each time you want to access data services. It's fast - maximum speed of up to 171.2 Kilobits per second (kbps), three times faster than fixed line.
GPRS allows a phone to receive and send pictures, sounds and video messages/clips.
