grps not edge! on galaxy

i have a galaxy 5 and i want to use gprs on it. i have the required grps settings but im not able to connect. if i enable the "always-on mobile data" it connects to edge. how do i connect to gprs instead?

Why do you want to connect to GPRS? It does the same thing as EDGE. Only slower.

well, thats because edge costs me a fortune! im charged for every kb downloaded. whereas for gprs i have 100mb free download daily.

go to settings, then wierless and network then mobile networks then u will see an option for exclusive 2g network witch you have to click and your all set.

thank you very much. actually its my own silliness. i didnt realise that whatever charges i incur for using gprs, is the same for edge. so i'll just stick to edge. thanks again
