    GSM DATA

    *Normal GSM Phone

    14.4k Meteor
    14.4k O2
    14.4k Voda

    They have all 'widened' the original 9.6k slot so its the network that now allows it while the fone is indifferent.

    Special GSM Phones that support HSCSD eg Nokia 6210

    43.2k Voda ONLY

    HSCSD opens 3 slots of 14.4k at the same time.

    GPRS Phone

    43.2k O2
    43.2k Voda

    The slots may be widened.

    Beware of GPRS, some gezer was reported in the Irish Independent this week because he clocked up €600 usage in 3 days on Voda GPRS. Fortunately for him the Voda fraud control system kicked in and disconnected him b4 it ran into the €1000's

    This was at 43.2K
