Transmitting String Array over a telephone line

I have a java String array which contains around 2 billion+ entries. Now is there away i can transmit this array over a telephone connection like GPRS or any other means (without using the internet). This might be a dumb question, but i need help

Solution

  • As a rough estimate, say each array entry is 1240 bits (8 bits per character, 155 characters as a wild guess at average length).

    That's 2.48e12 bits. Not including any overhead of how you want to actually represent the data as you push it over the wire.

    At 8kb/s (8192 bits/s) that's 9.6 years of data transfer. (For 10 characters in each string, it's still 226 days.)

    Put it on an external hard drive and mail it.
