High-Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) are network enhancements made to the second-generation (2G) GSM networks. The HSCSD technology is now obsolete; however, GPRS is still around and can be seen on mobile phones as the “G” symbol when 2G GSM networks serve a phone. HSCSD (High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data) was …
