<br>
<br>Thanks a bunch for replying and explaining me the actual difference. Now I can happily continue browsing on EDGE.
<br>
<br>Thanks again :)

<br>> Hi,
<br>>
<br>> actually this is the first time I've seen GPRS mentioned as 2.5G.
<br>> 2G on data plans usually stands for GPRS while 2.5G stands for EDGE.
<br>> EDGE is based on GPRS utilizing several channels at the same time.
<br>> So don't worry, 2.5G is indeed EDGE.
<br>>
<br>> It's just called 2.5 G because it's a 2G technology being faster than
<br>> regular 2G.
<br>> The G is not a factor or unit but 2G simply stands for 2nd generation
<br>> (GSM) while 3G stands for 3rd generation (UMTS).
<br>> Likewise, HSDPA on 3G which is faster than regular UMTS is called 3.5G.
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> Regards,
<br>> Martin
