mobile
network.
GPRS
is
a
data
bearer
that
enables
wireless
access
to
data
network
such
as
the

If
you
select
Power
on
and
you
are
in
a
network
that
supports
GPRS,
the
phone
registers
to
the
GPRS
network
and
sending
short
messages
will
be
done
via
GPRS.
Also,
starting
an
active
packet
data
connection,
for
example,
to
send
and
receive
e-mail,
is
quicker.
If
you
select
When
needed,
the
phone
will
use
a
GPRS
connection
only
if
you
start
an
application
or
action
that
needs
it.
The
GPRS
connection
is
closed
after
it
is
no
longer
required
by
any
application.
Note
?
You
can
select
a
network
other
than
your
home
network
only
if
it
has
a
valid
roaming
agreement
with
your
home
network.
