GPRS modem settings
GPRS is a technology that allows mobile phones to be used for sending and receiving data over the
mobile network. GPRS is a data bearer that enables wireless access to data networks such as the
Internet. The applications that use GPRS are WAP, SMS messaging and GPRS dial-up (for example,
Internet and e-mail).
You can connect the phone via IR or Bluetooth to a compatible PC and use the phone as a modem to
enable GPRS connectivity from the PC.
