Packet data
WCDMA and general packet radio service (GPRS) are network services that allow mobile phones to send and
receive data over an Internet protocol protocol (IP)based network. WCDMA and GPRS are data bearers that
enable 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 or service provider.
The applications that may use WCDMA or (E)GPRS are MMS, video streaming, browsing sessions, email, 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
GSM data
(circuit switched data, CSD).
