PACKET DATA (GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE, GPRS)
Glossary: Packet data, or General Packet Radio Service (GPRS),
uses packet data technology where information is sent in short
bursts of data over the mobile system. The benefit of sending data
in packets is that the system is occupied only when sending or
receiving data. Because GPRS uses the system efficiently, it allows
for quick data connection set up and fast data transmission
speeds.
Minimum settings needed to make a packet data connection
• You need to subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and
subscription to GPRS, contact your service provider.
•Go to Settings→ Connection settings→ Access points and select
Options→ New access point. Fill in the following: Data bearer: GPRS
and Access point name: enter the name given to you by your service
provider.
Pricing for packet data and applications
Both the active GPRS connection and the applications used over GPRS
require a fee (for example, using services, sending and receiving data, and
text messages). For more detailed information on fees, contact your
service provider.
