GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) forms the basis for mobile data on the Glo network. Ensuring your device has the correct GPRS settings is crucial for seamless internet connectivity.
Understanding GPRS vs. APN
- GPRS: The underlying technology enabling mobile data.
- APN: (Access Point Name) acts like a gateway, connecting your device to Glo’s network using GPRS.
