General Packet Radio Service (Gprs)

Gprs is a packet-based wireless communication service. it is based on global system for mobile communication (gsm) and complements existing services like short message service (sms) and multimedia messaging service (mms). gprs packet based services are faster and cost less than circuit-switched services since communication channels are used on a shared-use, as-packets-are-needed basis instead of dedicated to one user at a time.
