GPRS

Background
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet oriented mobile data standard on the 2G and 3G cellular communication network's global system for mobile communications (GSM). GPRS was established by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in response to the earlier CDPD and i-mode packet-switched cellular technologies. It is now maintained by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

Logo: On an underwater background we see the text "Times" with the S being tall (like the S from the Sega Saturn startup) and with the Earth next to it. Both the text and the Earth are casting shadows.

Variants: On some Samsung phones, the underwater background would be modified with bubbles, the text would be in a different font, and the earth would be different as well.

Technique: 2D animation

Music/Sounds: Either a xylophone tune, or a cheerful tune. Music/Sounds Variants: The cheerful tune can have different instruments.

Availability: Seen on Samsung phones from the 2000s (mostly 2002).
