What GPRS can do for you?
As mentioned, GPRS allows you to have an "always on" connection to the network. This means you can access WAP sites without having to wait up to 30 seconds for a connection to be established. This can be important for e-commerce applications where it would be unacceptable for customers to constantly wait to access the site.

With a high-speed data connection, tons of consumer and corporate applications can be made available to the user. This means anyone who needs wireless mobile data access will benefit from GPRS.

With GPRS, you can access your email, browse the Internet, tranfer/share documents, and remotely access your office's Local Area Network (LAN). Even home automation is possible when household appliances are equipped with Internet Protocol (IP)!
