Introduction
GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is a new advancement of the GSM cellular
network. This technology enables the user to make regular voice calls, send and
receive data, or maintain Internet access anytime and anywhere. This is ideal for
anyone who needs Internet access and mobility, both within New Zealand and
overseas. When travelling overseas the greatest coverage is expected throughout
Asian & European countries.
The main benefits of GPRS are:
“Always on” mobile Internet connectivity, anywhere and anytime as long as you
are within the cellular network coverage area with adequate signal strength.
Send & receive files, e-mail, SMS or faxes.
Charges are only for the amount of data you send and receive.
Make regular voice calls.
Roaming overseas.
Your GPRS modem enables you to enjoy all of the above. Even if your SIM card
has not been enabled for GPRS, it is possible to use the modem as a GSM modem
for dial-up Internet access, file transfer or faxing at up to 14,400 bps. In contrast
to using a cell phone connected to your computer, the use of this modem truly
delivers the “always on” connectivity benefit with GPRS. The modem can remain
connected to the GPRS network whenever the computer is on.
