The main advantage of gprs is that it is packet-based (like ethernet) and therefore more reliable than a serial connection over gsm.
e.g, at home i get 1 bar of signal max, which means dialup wap is useless because i would be losing signal and getting cut off all the time, gprs however simply waits until the signal is back and then requests the next packet of data and carries on.
at my home GPRS is about as fast as 9.6k dialup WAP (thats with one bar of signal), but at my girls house with full signal its virtually instant.
still doesnt help with my origanal question tho

You are correct, Orange will give you free MMS, up 'till the end of Feb, with any SIM card, PAYG or otherwise, I got the 'Out Here' pack with mine too, so you get 5 free texts a day, but even without it, you get 3 free texts a day until the end of Jan so I believe. |
