What do GSM, CDMA, WAP and GPRS stand for?
GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access, a high-speed, “always on” data service that charges for the amount of data downloaded. WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol and means access to internet through your phone. When using GSM WAP you are accessing mobile internet through your phone by means of a browser interface and are charged for the length of the call. GPRS stands for General Packet Radio service and is a high speed data service that is “always on” and is tied into your network provider’s existing GSM network. When using GPRS you are charged for the amount of data you’ve downloaded. Back to top.
