WAP services
• About your service provider
Because the WAP content is specifically designed to be viewed from your
mobile phone, your wireless service provider now also becomes your
"wireless Internet service provider."
Your service provider has created a special home page for you, and configured
your phone to take you directly to this site. There, you will find additional
links to other wireless Web sites, providing a variety of content both
locally, and from around the world.
• Launching the browser
Note: Before you can connect to the Internet, you may be required to
subscribe to this service. Check with your wireless service provider
for more information on WAP services.
From the Start screen, press Menu, scroll to
Services, and press Home. Your phone will
attempt to connect to the wireless Internet.
Note: If your phone displays Check service
settings, it may not be configured to
access the Internet. Please check with
your service provider for wireless Internet
settings and configuration.
Note: Pressing terminates any active browser session and returns
you to the Start screen.
Understanding a WAP web site
While Web sites on the World Wide Web (WWW) are thought of as a
"book" comprised of a group of interlinked pages, WAP web sites can be
thought of as a "deck of interlinked cards."
Some cards are comprised of text and hyperlinks. Other cards may require
user input (entering text or numbers, selecting items from a list, etc.).
Some pages may even contain low-resolution graphic images.
