In the two afore-mentionned cases (area non-covered by GPRS or subscriptions
that do not allow the use of GPRS services), your attempts to connect to GPRS will
not be successful.

The GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a technology concerning the exchange
of data by packets, offering better performances than the GSM. The GPRS network

The applications which can benefit from GPRS advantages are:

these access points.
