8.1 Introduction
Before you can use the WAP services, you need to configure
your WAP settings. Your WAP service provider will provide
you with the exact values for the WAP settings. Follow the
instructions carefully. You can use this information to
define and edit the settings manually.
Also, your service provider may be able to send some, or all,
of the required settings to you via a special short message
called an Over the Air (OTA) message. After you have
received the settings, you can start using the WAP applica-
tion or edit the settings as described below.
Note: The necessary settings for WAP configuration are
provided by your WAP service provider. Depending on your
service provider, you may not need to fill in all of the settings.
