DNS

Domain name service. An internet service that translates

domain names such as www.nokia.com into IP addresses

such as 192.100.124.195. Domain names are easier to

remember but this translation is needed because the

internet is based on IP addresses.

EAP

Extensible authentication protocol. EAP plug-ins are used in

wireless networks to authenticate wireless devices and

authentication servers.

EGPRS

Enhanced GPRS. EGPRS is similar to GPRS, but it enables faster

connection. For availability and data transfer speed, contact

your service provider.

GPRS

General packet radio service. GPRS 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 setup and fast

data transmission speeds.
You must subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and

subscription to GPRS, contact your service provider.
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.

GPS

Global positioning system. GPS is a worldwide radio

navigation system.
