My two cents: BIS is for pushing mail and alike and GPRS is supposed to be independent using their APN & goes through a proxy thus restricted to a particular port mostly 80 and applications that use sockets wouldn't work thats when the Data Plan comes to rescue which uses EDGE. Pretty nifty these service providers who make the best out of it all.
