Important things to know about GPRS!!
What is GPRS ?
General Packet Radio Services, also known as 2.5G, is a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephonys that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. It supplements today's mobile user experience with Circuit Switched Data and Short Message Service. Contrary to common misconception, GPRS has nothing to do with GPS [the Global Positioning System], a similar acronym that is often used in mobile contexts.
GPRS is about how to make life simple. We know how important Yellow Pages search engine is, so Yellow Pages has enables its Yellow.com.eg power to be at your fingertips with just one click from your mobile to experience the easiest way to search.
