Two Tips to Remember While Opting for a GPRS Plan
Today, with the help of GPRS, a person can connect to the Internet and do everything that they could do with their laptop or their desktop computer.
However, a GPRS connection is still an expensive deal in some countries.
To find the best prices, you should of course check out the offers that are provided by the service providers in your area.
Mobile telephony and portable internet is such a competitive market that you are bound to get mobile connectivity for anything between $2 to $30, all you need to do is to look around a bit.
Here are two important tips that you should keep in mind while deciding on a GPRS connection.
How much will you use? There are two kinds of GPRS connections available today, the limited connection and the unlimited connection.
If you take the limited connection, the data transfer will be limited that means, if you download (or browse) data worth 1 GB, you will have to renew your Internet connection.
If you opt for the unlimited connection, you have no restrictions on download and browsing.
In fact, many people use this kind of mobile connectivity to connect their desktops and laptops to the internet.
The unlimited mobile connectivity is quite expensive as compared to the limited mobile connectivity, so you need to decide what connectivity you would want, depending on your usage and whether you are willing to pay that much of an amount for the productivity that it offers.
Is the Internet Big in Your Region? Social networking is the next big thing in mobile internet.
Many mobile phone manufacturers, mobile service providers and even external companies have created widgets and software for mobile phones, which allow the mobile phones to connect directly to the various social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut, etc.
So, you should buy a mobile internet connection only if you are into social networking, or if many of your friends are on social networks.
Unless and until you are using your mobile internet for business purposes, if you are not on social networks or if your friends are not, you may actually end up buying the connection but not knowing what to do with it! These are the three important questions that you should ask before you decide on a GPRS connection.
