16. Web
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.
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 varied as the 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. You may not be able to view all the details of the mobile Internet
pages, as page appearance may vary due to screen size.
■ Service provider
Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your service provider is now your
mobile Internet service provider as well. 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.
