Please can anyone tell me the brief description about the difference between GSM and GPRS. I think that gprs makes connections via GSM Network if I am not wrong. Please let me know as soon as possible.

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a new bearer service for GSM that greatly improves and simplifies wireless access to packet data networks, e.g., to the Internet.

It applies a packet radio principle to transfer user data packets in an efficient way between mobile stations and external packet data networks.
