GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) New non-voice value-added service that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. GPRS provides continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phone and computer users. It is based on the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) circuit-switched cellular phone connections and the Short Message Service (SMS). GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) International standard for cellular communication, guaranteeing compatibility between the various network operators. GSM covers most European countries and many other parts of the world. Java Programming language generating applications that can run on all hardware platforms, whether small, medium or large, without modification. It has been promoted for and geared heavily to the Web, both for public Web sites and Intranets. When a Java program runs from a Web page, it is called a Java applet. When it is run on a mobile phone or pager, it is called a MIDlet. MMS (Multimedia Message Service) A message service for the mobile environment, standardized by the WAP Forum and the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP). For phone users, MMS is similar to Short Message Service (SMS)-it provides automatic, immediate delivery of user-created content from phone to phone. The message addressing used is primarily phone numbers, thus the traffic goes from phone to phone. MMS also provides support for email addressing, so that messages can be sent by e-mail. In addition to the text content of SMS, MMS messages can contain still images, voice or audio clips, and also video clips and presentation information. Glossary 184
