WAP
The WAP application can be used to access Internet services which are based on the
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). These services can contain news, weather
reports, flight times, dictionaries, and so on.
Note: The content of each service depends on the content provider of that
service. To use such a service, follow the instructions provided by the
content provider.
To obtain access to WAP services
• you must be within the coverage of a network which supports data calls,
• a data service must be activated for your SIM card,
• you must have obtained a WAP access point from a WAP service provider, and
• you must have entered the proper WAP settings.
Differences between the WWW and WAP services
applications
The WAP application is similar to the WWW application, but there are two
differences:
• To access WAP services you need to define WAP access points in your
communicator. WAP access points are additional to the Internet settings. You
can receive WAP access points directly via a short message from your WAP
service provider, or define them manually. This chapter contains instructions for
manual setup.
• Certain bookmarks can be accessed through a specific access point, for example,
banking services may have to be accessed through the bank’s own access point.
The easiest way to use these kinds of services is to define an altogether new
bookmark which uses the correct WAP and Internet access point.
To set up WAP connections
Note: 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. Furthermore, your
service provider may be able to send some, or all, of the required settings
