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.
