GPRS (Global Packet Radio Service) is a packet-based method of data transfer, used for wireless services on cellular phones and mobile Internet devices. This means that data files are broken into chunks, or packets, to be routed through different Internet channels, then are put together again to form the complete data file once they reach their destination location. With GPRS, data transfers at a much faster rate than with mobile communication services, and those using GPRS have uninterrupted Internet connections on all of their mobile devices. GPRS services enable MP3 downloads, videos, games, wallpapers, animations and more. Each mobile service provider has different guidelines for activating GPRS, so follow the method appropriate to your provider. Mobile phone SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) cards sometimes come with the GPRS capabilities already activated, but if your SIM is not equipped with GPRS, you will have to opt-in to GPRS services. Follow the steps below for how to activate GPRS. | GPRS (Global Packet Radio Service) is a packet-based method of data transfer, used for wireless services on cellular phones and mobile Internet devices.
