The field separator is missing from radoulov's script.

Code:
awk -F, 'NR==FNR{_[$1];next}$1 in _' gprs2.txt gprs_calls2.txt
Your description of the output you require is not understandable to me. This will print the lines in gprs_calls2.txt whose first field matches a value in (the first field of) gprs2.txt.
