WAP (short for Wireless Application Protocol) is to mobile devices what
WWW (world wide web) is to desktop computers. The mobile community
began developing WAP several years ago to give mobile device users
access to the internet. Today, most WAP sites are made up of text and
hyperlinks, with some capable of text input and 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.
• LEARN ABOUT THE SERVICES MENU
The Services menu allows you to use your WAP browser to view news,
weather reports, check flight times, access financial information, and
much more. You can also save the address of any WAP page as a
bookmark, much the same as a web page on your personal computer.
Note: You may need to subscribe to additional services before you’re
able to use the browser. Also, your service provider may have to
configure your phone for browsing after you’ve subscribed.
Contact your service provider for more information.

check with your service provider to determine if emptying
your browser’s cache after each browsing session or some
other method should be used to avoid security issues.
