Important:
Check with your service provider for availability of
WAP services.
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.

Note:
Depending on your network or service provider’s WAP
settings, some of the following menu items may not be accessible.
It shouldn’t be necessary to manually configure your phone for browsing.
Normally your service provider will modify these settings once you’ve
subscribed to this feature. However, some network operators or service
providers may allow you to set up the phone for browsing.
The connection settings may come as a text message. Or, you may be able
to enter the settings manually. The WAP settings may be available, for
example, on the Web site of the network operator or service provider. For
appropriate settings, contact your network operator or service provider.
