I was configuring a mobile phone for my workmate yesterday but one. After
configuring the e-mail services, I did ask him to call Safaricom to get GPRS
enabled. This was done quite fast by Safaricom Customer Care. However when
he connected to browse, I realized that instead of displaying GPRS as the
connection mode, it displayed EDGE.
It did not quite get me thinking until this e-mail by Gakuru!
Is there a cost factor to it though? Do they charge differently for EDGE
[aka (E)GPRS] than GPRS?
