Why do I keep seeing the letters GPRS ???

This keeps appearing where the wifi icon is at the top right!? Happens all the time thoughout the day and when it reads GPRS i then have NO INTERNET!!!! I've NEVER had this problem with my previous iphones? I have the 5s. So i just need to wait around until it goes away? Can anyone help I'm losing my mind over this! 😕

GPRS is just a slower data connection, it's treated the same as EDGE and 3G. While I don't know for sure, I read that if you get into an Edge data area and then slide into a 3G area, the phone will continue to say GPRS.
