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 EGPRS and data transfer speed, contact your
network operator.

The applications that may use EGPRS are MMS, video streaming, Push to talk,
browsing sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML, Java application downloading, and the
PC dial-up.

When you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS instead of
GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot select between EGPRS and
GPRS, but for some applications you may be able to select GPRS or

(circuit switched data, CSD).
