About the
WAP Browser
Your phone comes equipped with a WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol) Browser which makes 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 Mobile
SM
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 ( or ) appears on the display
to inform you that you are:
• 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.
