Can I surf on the Internet with my laptop using GPRS?

Yes. GPRS is optimal for 'bursty' applications like web-browsing: when you access a web page, the browser sends data to the web server, the server sends back the page that you requested and after that you can spend as much time as you need to read the page.

Most of the time you are not sending or receiving anything, but when you want to fetch a new page it is important that you can start sending and receiving data quickly again. This is exactly what GPRS is i.e. with a GPRS dial-up connection, you first open the connection, and then browse as long as you want without worrying about how long the connection will be open. Notice that many web pages are updated automatically, and thus data transfer can also happen. Please contact your network operator or service provider for more information.
