WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
This is a mobile Internet service designed to bring Internet content and advanced value-added services to WAP phone users. With WAP, you can access information from the Internet anywhere, anytime.

When you use WAP services, you are charged for your usage based on the amount of time you spend on the Internet, much like normal dial-up connections.

GPRS (General Packet Radio Services)
Now, Maxis is introducing a faster, more advanced and affordable mode of delivery for WAP - GPRS.

Advantages of GPRS
GPRS gives you an improved Internet and WAP experience as information download is faster. Current transmission speeds are between 28kbps and 30kbps.

With GPRS, you're always online. No more wasting time with dialing up, getting busy signals or disconnected. The connection is always on, always instantly available the moment you need it.

Pay Only for What You Use
With GPRS, you only have to pay for the amount of data transferred.

So if you have the connection on and you don't use it, there's no data transferred and you don't pay anything.

The Mobile Internet Revolution Starts Here

GPRS is a key step in moving towards 3G, the technology that will truly revolutionise mobile internet services.
