EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS) 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.
The applications that may use (E)GPRS are MMS, video streaming, browsing
sessions, e-mail, remote SyncML and the PC dial-up (for example, Internet and e-
mail).
Before you can use (E)GPRS technology:
• Contact your network operator or service provider for availability and
subscription to the (E)GPRS service.
• Save the (E)GPRS settings for each of the applications used over (E)GPRS.
For information on pricing, contact your network operator or service provider.
Note that 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 either GPRS
or
GSM data
(CSD, Circuit Switched Data).
