RE: Just thinking... GPRS, 3G

["Roger" <roger@xxxxxxx>]

You are right, the phone must initiate the session... but you could send a
SMS to kick the phone to open a session

One problem is that the connection is asymetric with only one channel being
used on the uplink so the uplink speed is about the same as data over GSM

Siemens have a nice new GPRS module though
