General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a service that lets you access the Web on your handheld device. It's a network-provided service that's available for phones operating on GSM networks only (like T-Mobile and AT&T). Although most modern cell phones support GPRS, you still have to activate it and input the required settings to make it work. Activation is simple, but you have to contact your carrier to achieve this objective.
Instructions
1. Ring up the customer service line of your cellular service provider.
2. Tell the technical support rep that you want to add GPRS service to your account. Tell him your account login name/phone number. You will also have to tell him your handset model, so make sure you know what it is beforehand.
3. Wait for an SMS (text message) to arrive on your cell phone. This SMS will contain the GPRS settings for your particular handset. Open the SMS and the settings will be updated on the phone automatically.
