EMS (Enhanced Message Service)
An adaptation of the Short Message Service
(SMS) that allows users to send and receive ring
tones and the service provider’s logo, as well as
combinations of simple media to and from EMS-
compliant handsets. Because EMS is based on
SMS, it can use SMS centres the same way that
SMS does. EMS works on all Global System for
Mobile communications (GSM) networks. EMS
senders can use text, melodies, pictures,
sounds, and animations to enhance the
expressive power of messages that are limited
by the display constraints of mobile devices.
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)
New non-voice value-added service that allows
information to be sent and received across a
mobile telephone network. GPRS provides
continuous connection to the Internet for mobile
phone and computer users. It is based on the
Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)
circuit-switched cellular phone connections and
the Short Message Service (SMS).
GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communication)
International standard for cellular
communication, guaranteeing compatibility
between the various network operators. GSM
covers most European countries and many other
parts of the world.
Java
Programming language generating applications
that can run on all hardware platforms, whether
small, medium or large, without modification. It
has been promoted for and geared heavily to the
Web, both for public Web sites and Intranets.
When a Java program runs from a Web page, it
is called a
Java applet
. When it is run on a
mobile phone or pager, it is called a MIDlet.
MMS (Multimedia Message Service)
A message service for the mobile environment,
standardized by the WAP Forum and the 3rd
Generation Partnership Program (3GPP). For
phone users, MMS is similar to Short Message
Service (SMS)-it provides automatic, immediate
delivery of user-created content from phone to
phone. The message addressing used is
primarily phone numbers, thus the traffic goes
from phone to phone. MMS also provides support
for e-mail addressing, so that messages can also
be sent by e-mail. In addition to the text content
of SMS, MMS messages can contain still images,
voice or audio clips, and also video clips and
presentation information.
Multi-party Calling
Ability to establish a conference call involving up
to five additional parties.
Phone Password
Security code used to unlock the phone when
you have selected the option to lock it
automatically each time it switches on.
