Global System for Mobile Communications GSM
 |
| GSM Network |
The GSM standard has been an advantage to both consumers, who may benefit from the ability to roam and switch carriers without replacing phones, and also to network operators, who can choose equipment from many GSM equipment vendors. GSM also pioneered low-cost implementation of the short message service (SMS), also called text messaging, which has since been supported on other mobile phone standards as well. The standard includes a worldwide emergency telephone number feature (112).
Newer versions of the standard were backward-compatible with the original GSM system. For example, Release 97 of the standard added packet data capabilities by means of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). Release 99 introduced higher speed data transmission using Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE).
