General Packet Radio Service. Globe, SMART and SUN Cellular are GPRS enabled networks.  They offer 'always-on', higher capacity, Internet-based content and packet-based data services. This enables services such as colour Internet browsing, e-mail on the move, powerful visual communications, multimedia messages and location-based services.

 

Connectivity using GPRS means that you don't have to wait for the dial-up WAP connection to be established. It is always on. The charging is per packet not per minute.
