Setting up WAP accounts

A WAP account (sometimes called a WAP profile) defines a
service provider and gateway that should be used when making
a connection to WAP services. You also need a WAP account
when you use MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service).
The WAP gateway sits between your P800 and the WAP site
coding and decoding information. You can set up details of more
than one gateway if necessary, for example one for your MMS
messaging, one to access corporate data over WAP, and another
to access your bank's WAP service.
The easiest way to set up a WAP account on your P800 is
automatically, through your service provider. Check your
service provider's website for information or contact their
support desk and ask about automatic setup. You can also find
more information, and settings for many operators on:
http://www.SonyEricsson.com/support.
Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must
choose one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a
new one.
Manually set up a WAP account
Alternatively to setting up a WAP account automatically, you
can enter the settings manually from
tab of the
Connections Control panel
174
on the
WAP accounts
.
First collect all the information you will need. You can obtain
this information from the WAP service provider, or if you are
connecting to a corporate network, your information services
manager.
All settings are described in "WAP accounts" on page 168.
To set up a new account follow the steps under "To create a new
WAP account:" on page 168.
