EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS), also known as EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global
Evolution) is similar to GPRS but it enables faster connection. For more

Before you can use EGPRS technology:
• Contact your network operator or service provider for availability and

or GSM data (CSD, Circuit Switched Data).
