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.
