Packet data
General packet radio service (GPRS) is a network service that allows mobile phones to send and receive data
over an Internet protocol (IP)based network. GPRS is a data bearer that enables wireless access to data
networks such as the Internet.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) is similar to GPRS but enables faster connections. For more information on availability
of (E)GPRS and data transfer speed, contact your network operator or service provider.

network. You cannot select between EGPRS and GPRS, but for some applications you may be able to select
