About the WAP
Browser
Your phone comes equipped with a WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol) Browser, making it possible for you
to access the Wireless Web.
The WAP Browser allows you to:
• Access up-to-the-minute information via your phone
• View specially designed text versions of popular
Internet sites including Yahoo!®, CNN MobileSM and
the Weather Channel®
Browsing the Wireless Web using your phone is unlike
using your computer, in that site providers have:
• Selected only the critical aspects of their site for
wireless phone users
• Removed most graphics
Each time you start the WAP Browser, the phone
connects to the Wireless Web and the service indicator
icon ( ) appears on the display to inform you that you
are:
• Connected to the Wireless Web
• Will be billed accordingly (rates vary according to your
service option)
The WAP Browser ends the network connection after a
certain period of inactivity and automatically reconnects
as necessary. For this reason, you may find that you are
billed for several network connections within a single
session. This is normal and is designed to minimise your
bill.
