Enhanced General Packet Radio Service or (E)GPRS is a technology used
to send and receive data in short bursts or packets over the wireless
network. With (E)GPRS, you can stay connected to the Internet and allow
faster downloads without completing a dial-up connection. Applications
using (E)GPRS include the xHTML browser, text messaging, and dial-up
connections for making digital data calls.
Enhanced General Packet Radio Service or (E)GPRS may also be available.
(E)GPRS works just like GPRS, but the connection is roughly 2-3 times
faster.
Note: In order to use (E)GPRS for dial-up connections, you must
first subscribe to the (E)GPRS network service. Contact your
service provider for details on pricing and availability.
Some service providers may have already set up information for
