Sure u get a faster conection but u have to pay for downloading pages. T-zones Wap calls are inc in my free time so no need to pay for downloading. So if GPRS means having to pay for downloading & the only advantage is speed I'ld rather use wap for free.
My question is are u paying for downloading just because your on a faster conection?
Plse someone correct me if I am wrong &/if there are more advantages to using GPRS?
Thanks

t-mobile uk does not have a gprs service as such, it just runs certain things over gprs (eg photo messaging). there is no facility at the moment for normal data usage over gprs on t-mobile, so it's a good job you don't want it anyway.

Not on my phone it isn't! Wap is free during my free time & GPRS is chared by the amount I download. 2p per kb I think.

And it's not even faster!!!!!!!!
I've timed 30kb downloads over GPRS/GSM they both take as long, try it yourself, obviously they have capped the data rate.
Can't complain while it's free, but I'll be fooked if I'm paying for it.
2p a Kb is a very,very sad joke.

GPRS is faster in ideal conditions.
We tried GPRS on a GX-1 here at the call centre, with a cell site around 2 meters away, and it was quite literally like sh*t off a shovel.
However, we were told in o2 GPRS training not to sell GPRS on its speed as it is heavily variable. As far as I know, on o2 contract its 1p a page loaded which isn't half bad.
Maybe, one of these days, I'll get my t68i set up for GPRS..

GPRS should be available for everyone on T-mobile early next year.
But if you ring up T-Mobile tech support you may be able to blag your way onto the pilot scheme.
Give T-Mobile data support a call on 1960 from your handset & say u want GPRS for wap that should work.
