firstly isn't there a setting to ensure it doesn't power
off on the hardware itself,
secondly: there is a way to do it from code and it's in
this forum somewhere, if i get time i will locate and
thirdly
permanent gprs connection!!! isn't that very expensive
for your customers

Permanent GPRS connection isn't a problem since you pay only for the bytes
that you transfer (of couse that's the case here in Belgium).

Not necessarily. I have a $19.99/mo unlimited GPRS plan for example from
T-Mobile US
