*WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
A generic name for the communication protocol used to
access the Internet on small wireless mobile terminals
such as mobile phones and PDAs.
**GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
GPRS is a packet data transmission service for mobile
phones based on the GSM standard. When using data
communications like WAP, there is no need to keep track
of connection time as rates are charged by the amount of
data (number of packets) transmitted. The service gives
you the feeling of a continual connection without the
worries of a dial-up connection. The connection speed
varies according to mobile phone and provider
specifications as well as crowding on the network.
***CSD (Circuit Switched Data)
Circuit switching is, in other words, the conventional way
of transmitting data. Just like a telephone landline, rates
are charged by connection time. Maximum connection
speeds are 9.6kbps and 14.4kbps, but are affected by
mobile phone and provider specifications.
