Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to
selected services on the mobile Internet. Many wireless mobile
Internet access features are network-dependent, and some features
may not be available. Contact your service provider for more information.
• TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND
A technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices what
the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers. The mobile community began
developing WAP several years ago to provide access to the Internet for mobile users.
Today, most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages even
contain low-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service provider and
others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the sites are as variable as
web pages on the Internet.
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 then, the browser will return to the previous page.
Note: Since the phone display and memory capacity are much smaller than
in a computer, Internet content is displayed differently. You may not be
able to view all the details on some Internet pages.
• SERVICE PROVIDER
Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
service provider is now your wireless mobile Internet service provider as well.
Note: It is likely that your service provider has created a home page and
set up your WAP browser to go to this page when you log on to the mobile
Internet. Once at your service provider's home page, you may find links to
a number of other sites.
• SET UP SERVICE
Save the service settings
When you receive the service settings as an OTA message, Service settings received
displays. To save the settings, select Options > Save. If no settings are saved in
Active service settings, the settings are saved under the first free connection set
and also activated. If there are settings saved in Active service settings, the
message, Activate saved service settings? will display. To activate the saved
settings, select Yes, or to save them only, select No.
