GPRS when device is off

[Korwin]

Hi,

Is it possible to use GPRS by the application while device is off?
I need to write an application which will communicate with server over the
GPRS ( call webservice method all the time, return from the method is after
20 minutes).
If device can receive incoming call when it is turn off, maybe there is some
way to use GPRS.

Depends on the actual state of the device and how the hardware was
implemented. If the processor is running, you can run code, if not no. The
easy way to find out is to write a very simple app that incremented a
counter, run it, and see if it keeps incrementing when the device is "off".
