GPRS PACKET DATA
Packet data, or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), uses packet data
technology where information is sent in short bursts of data over the
mobile system. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the system
is occupied only when sending or receiving data. Because GPRS uses the
system efficiently, it allows for quick data connection set up and fast data
transmission speeds.
Minimum settings needed to make a packet data connection

subscription to GPRS, contact your service provider.

Pricing for packet data and applications
Both the active GPRS connection and the applications used over GPRS
require a fee (for example, using services, sending and receiving data, and
