Give detailed comparison between GSM and GPRS technology covering major features

The main difference between GSM and GPRS is that GSM is used for the delivery of voice messages and data using the facility of digital modulation and works on the circuit-switched network whereas GPRS has provided higher network qualities and works on 2.5G technology with the packet-switch network.

GSM is the torchbearer of the technology as it enabled the user to send messages and also gave them the facility to use the voice services along with the transfer of data. It is the standard need for all the devices that want to use the 2G technologies and works on a network type known as a Circuit.

GPRS works on the network types known as Packets which enables the user to directly access the wireless data over the internet. It can only be used in areas where there is a good network connection and works on the 2.5G technology. The amount of data used accounts for the billing of such a system.
