Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to
connect to selected services on the mobile Internet.
You can view weather reports, check news or flight times,
view financial information, make online purchases and much more.

• NOTES ABOUT THE MOBILE INTERNET

A technology called wireless application protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices what
the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers. Internet content on your
personal computer is called a "web page." Internet content on your mobile phone is
called a "page," "WAP card," or a "Deck of cards." If the WAP site designer has made
a page too large to load on the phone, it will not be displayed in the browser. You
will see an error message saying, "File too big to be loaded" and the browser will
return to the previous page.
GPRS
GPRS is a technology used to send and receive data using short bursts or packets
over the wireless network. GPRS allows you to stay connected to the mobile Internet.
This feature allows for faster downloads of information and no time spent completing
a dial-up connection. Applications using GPRS include the WAP browser and text
messaging.
• For information about how to track time spent online, see "Data calls" on
page 37.
• For information about sending messages using GPRS, see the entry for Use
GPRS under "Other message settings" on page 68.
• For availability, pricing, and subscription to GPRS services, contact your
service provider.
Service provider
Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
wireless service provider now becomes your mobile Internet service provider, as well.
It is likely that your service provider has created a home page and set up your browser
to go to this page when you log on to the mobile Internet. Once you are at your
service provider's home page, you will find links to a number of other sites.
