15. 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.

■ Access service

Set up service

You may receive the configuration settings required for browsing as a configuration
message from the network operator or service provider that offers the service that
you want to use. See "Configuration settings service," p. 9. You can also enter all
the configuration settings manually. See "Configuration," p. 48.
