8. Internet

This chapter describes how to get access to the Internet and how to use the
Internet applications.
Your communicator has the following browser applications:
• WWW - A World Wide Web (WWW) browser supporting frames, JavaScript, and
SSL (v.3) protocol
• WAP - A browser for accessing various types of information, entertainment, and
other services in Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) format. WAP is suited to
mobile devices with small screen displays and limited amounts of memory. WAP
uses mainly text but does support pictures.
To connect to the Internet,
• the wireless system you use must support data calls,
• the data service must be activated for your SIM card,
• you must have obtained an Internet access point from an Internet Service
Provider (ISP), and
• you must have entered the proper Internet settings.
Note: The Mail application, described in the Messaging chapter, also uses an
Internet connection. See 'Mail' on page 188.
Your ISP can give you instructions on how to configure the Internet settings.
Follow the instructions carefully.
Note: You must have your phone turned on, within system coverage and free
of any other voice or data call to connect to the Internet.
Tip: To access WAP
services, you need both an
Internet access point and a
WAP access point. See page
169.
