UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System and is the successor of GPRS. UMTS is also called 3g. UMTS promises speeds similar to ADSL and so many new possibilities arise. Think of image telephony, watching movies, wireless internet and e-mail everywhere, but also faster sending of photos, presentations and files. Theoretically, UMTS speeds can be reached up to 2 megabits per second.
