    2.5G is a transitional phase between 2G and 3G cellular technologies that adds packet switching capabilities to 2G networks. It allows some 3G benefits like packet switching but uses existing 2G infrastructure. Examples are GPRS for GSM networks and CDMA2000 1x-RTT. While data rates of over 144 kbps allow qualification as 3G, most consider these 2.5G since they are slower than true 3G.

    2.5G is a stepping stone between 2G and 3G cellular wireless technologies. The term "second
    and a half generation" is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet switched
    domain in addition to the circuit switched domain. It does not necessarily provide faster services
    because bundling of timeslots is used for circuit switched data services (HSCSD) as well.

    2.5G provides some of the benefits of 3G (e.g. it is packet-switched) and can use some of the
    existing 2G infrastructure in GSM and CDMA networks. GPRS is a 2.5G technology used by
    GSM operators. Some protocols, such as EDGE for GSM and CDMA2000 1x-RTT for CDMA,
    can qualify as "3G" services (because they have a data rate of above 144 kbit/s), but are
    considered by most to be 2.5G services (or 2.75G which sounds even more sophisticated)
    because they are several times slower than "true" 3G services.
