18. WAP services
Note:
This menu may not be visible if WAP services are unavailable in
your area.
WAP (short for Wireless Application Protocol) is to mobile devices what
WWW (world wide web) is to computers. The mobile community began
developing WAP in 1997 to give mobile device users access to the internet.
Today, most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks, with some sites
capable of text input or selection items in a list. Some pages even contain
low-resolution graphics. Because your service provider and others are free
to design WAP sites as they choose, each site can vary almost as much as
a web page on the Internet.
• Services menu
The
Services
menu (Menu 10) allows you to access
special Internet content designed specifically for
viewing from your mobile phone. You can use your
phone’s WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)
browser to view news, get weather reports, check
flight times, access financial information, etc. The browser’s menu allows
you to save addresses of WWW services as bookmarks, so you can return
to your favorite web sites quickly and easily.
Note:
You may be required to subscribe to these additional services
before you can use the browser. Your service provider may also
need to configure your phone for browsing. Check with your
service provider for more information on this feature.
