GPRS
GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. GPRS is a high-speed data transfer
technique, used on GSM networks. It does not require a continuous data stream be opened
between the data source and destination. Instead, it uses packets to move data back and
forth, making efficient use of the available radio spectrum.

GSM
GSM stands for Global System for Mobiles. It is an open, non-proprietary system with
international roaming capability providing seamless and standardized same number contact
ability in more than 170 countries. GSM satellite roaming has extended service access to
areas where terrestrial coverage is not available.
