General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

GPRS technology is a network service that allows mobile phones to be used for
sending and receiving data over an Internet Protocol (IP) -based network. GPRS is
a data bearer that enables wireless access to data networks such as the Internet.
The applications that may use GPRS are MMS and SMS messaging (SMS, Short
Message Service), browsing sessions and Java application downloading. Note that
your phone supports two simultaneous GPRS connections. For example, you can
receive multimedia messages and, at the same time, have an ongoing browsing
session.

Before you can use GPRS technology

• Contact your network operator or service provider for availability and

subscription to the GPRS service.

• Save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used over GPRS.
