19 Connect to the Wireless Internet

Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the Internet. You can view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information, and much more.

You can also save the address of any Wireless Internet site as a bookmark, much the same way you bookmark a Web page on your personal computer.

Note: Your phone must be switched on to use this function. Do not switch the phone on when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Note: All features may not be available on all carrier networks. Please check with your service provider for availability. If your phone does not display “Services” on its menu, your network provider does not support these features at this time.

• NOTES ON WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS

This section gives a brief overview of wireless Internet access and provides some notes that may be useful in understanding wireless access.

Technology background

A technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices what the World Wide Web (WWW) is to desktop computers. The mobile community began developing WAP several years ago to provide access to the Internet for mobile users.

Today, most WAP sites consist of text and hyperlinks, and some sites can accept text input. Some pages even contain low-resolution graphics. Your service provider and others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the sites are as variable as Web pages on the Internet.
