What is GPRS service

The abbreviation GPRS itself is translated as General Packet Radio Service, which means the transmission of data packets using cellular communication. The concept of the technology is to provide a constant Internet connection from a telephone or a modem. That is why GPRS can be used by anyone who has a modern phone, smartphone, laptop, tablet, organizer or computer (using a flash modem). Installing GPRS allows you to surf the Web, download and exchange information, watch movies and listen to music online, in general, use unlimited resources.

The organization of data transmission in the network occurs according to the following scheme: a person receives his personal channel, which the system uses for voice transmission via a modem. The modem, in turn, is embedded in the mobile terminal and sends data through a dedicated channel. GPRS makes this channel available for a specific subscriber and supports transmission within a particular cellular network (MTS, Beeline, Megafon, etc.).

GPRS technology has the following advantages:

providing instant access to services (the subscriber does not need to call the provider);
receiving full access to the Internet, as if you were using a regular wired connection;
the ability to work remotely with WAP sites from a tablet, smartphone or laptop;
favorable billing (you pay only for the downloaded or sent information, and not for the time spent online);
high speed (maximum 171.2 kbps).

How to connect GPRS

It is obvious that the GPRS connection is comprehensively beneficial for the subscriber, especially if he has unlimited Internet at his disposal. But before considering the connection diagram, you should understand the principle of operation. So, to use the possibility of data transmission using this technology, special terminals are needed that can support the GPRS mode.

There are 3 types of such terminals:

Class A - both voice connection and GPRS operation.
Class B - Represents all mobile phones and provides a packet data voice connection, but not at the same time. This means that the subscriber will not be able to simultaneously communicate on the phone and transfer data (send music, watch movies, etc.).
Class C - represented by CF, PCMCIA cards, and uSB adapters (modems-flash drives). Allows packet data transmission, but does not support voice connection. Modern laptops and ultrabooks are sold with built-in cards, but these can be purchased separately as well as a USB adapter.

The above information gives a superficial idea of \u200b\u200bthe principles of GPRS operation and allows you to choose the best option.

payment through OK's mobile account in Odnoklassniki and Golosov in VK;
active WAP and GPRS options;
paid content subscriptions on sites are the most common reason for sudden charges for a subscriber;
additional options (Weather, Jokes, Horoscopes and other entertaining SMS information);
