Possibly. The heartbeat does a couple of things: makes sure the network 
infrastructure sees some traffic to prevent it closing "idle" 
connections if it is minded to do so, and lets the server detect 
unresponsive clients so it can disconnect them.

No, and probably not. The lower you make it, the more eager the server 
will be to disconnect you if the network is slow - which with GPRS is 
likely to be the last thing you need.
