20 Connect to the Wireless Internet

Your phone has a built-in browser 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 Internet site as a bookmark, much the same way you bookmark a Web page on your personal computer.

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 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 contain low-resolution graphics. Your service provider and others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the sites are as varied as Web pages on the Internet.

Important: The information or services you have accessed are stored in the cache of your phone. A cache is a buffer memory, which is used to store data temporarily. If you have tried to access or have accessed confidential information requiring passwords (for example, your bank account), empty the cache of your phone after each use. To empty the cache, select More options while browsing, scroll to Clear cache, then press Select.
