MAP vs. SIM Toolkit
Contrary to SIM Toolkit, the MAP allows creating client service systems
independently of third parties. It provides significantly better customization capabilities for the
provider. It does not use SMS messages so there are no fees for sending them.
MAP vs. WAP or PDA (HTML)
In comparison with WAP or PDA (HTML), the client downloads less data from the server
(the client application and its configuration are stored in the mobile phone), which means lower
costs for the client.
MAP vs. PDA
In comparison with PDA, the MAP focuses on a larger customer group, consisting of
all mobile phone users.
