15 The wireless Internet

WAP is the mobile device’s equivalent of the Internet. The mobile community

began developing WAP in the late 1990s so that mobile device users could

access the Internet. Today, most WAP sites are composed of text, hyperlinks,

and low-resolution graphics. Because your wireless provider and others

are free to design WAP sites as they choose, each WAP page can vary

almost as much as a web page on the Internet.

Note: Check with your wireless provider for WAP service availability.

Note: WAP pages are designed using Wireless Markup Language

(WML). Since web pages are designed using Hyper Text Mark-up

Language (HTML), web pages cannot be viewed from your phone.

• THE SERVICES MENU

Use your WAP browser to get news, weather

reports, access financial information, and more.

WAP pages can be saved as bookmarks, the same

as web pages on the Internet.

Note: This feature utilizes dynamic

memory. See “Dynamic memory use” on page 8 for

more information.

Note: You may need to subscribe to additional services before you

can use the browser. Also, your wireless provider may have to

configure your phone for browsing.

Important: Internet content received over a secure connection

and stored in your browser’s cache may be reused over non-secure

connections and may create security issues. Please check with

your wireless provider to determine if emptying your browser’s

cache after each browsing session or some other method should

be used to avoid security issues.
