How to reduce your GPRS charges

General packet radio service (GPRS) is a very good feature used for accessing the Internet from a mobile phone. The GPRS rate (cost) is generally based on the amount of data transferred. Thus, to reduce the GPRS charges, one needs to reduce the phone's data transfer. We can do that by the following ways :

1.Visit mobile versions of web-sites : Many popular sites have special mobile versions of them. These sites are usually optimized for the cell phone, and are of a much lower size than regular sites. Thus, you should always prefer mobile sites over regular ones. Generally, the sites will have a link to their mobile version on their homepage, or they will automatically redirect you to the mobile site if you are accessing the site via mobile.

2.Turn off images : Images have a much higher size than regular text. Thus, the more the images loaded, the more is the data transferred. Thus, turn off image loading from your browser's settings, which will significantly reduce your internet charges.

3.Turn off other extras : Similarly to images, disabling extras like pop-ups, animations, etc. too helps in lowering data transfer.

Thus, these are the methods by which your data transfer over the internet can be reduced, resulting in lower GPRS costs.
