Telia offers GPRS to all customers in September

Telia offers GPRS to all customers in September Come 11 September, all three million of Telia Mobile's Swedish customers will have access to GPRS, the next generation of mobile telephony. As far as users are concerned, GPRS offers completely new opportunities. They will not have to pay for the time they spend online, but for the amount of data they send and receive. - Our tests have been a great success, and once the summer is over we'll be offering GPRS to all three million of our mobile customers, says Anders Bruse, head of Telia Mobile's Swedish operations. February saw the launch of Telia's GPRS service, Telia Mobile OnLine. This is not a new kind of subscriber offer, but a supplementary service which all of Telia's GSM customers can activate as long as they have GPRS telephones. Telia Mobile OnLine has two different tariffs to choose from so that customers can benefit from the service regardless of whether they use it frequently or less frequently. For instance, Telia Mobile OnLine will allow customers to send and receive e-mail and use a large number of Internet-based services. Telia Mobile OnLine will also give WAP a great boost as users will not have to pay for the time they spend online, but for the amount of data they send and receive.
