Many wireless mobileInternet access features are network-dependent, and somefeatures may not be available. Contact your service provider formore information.■ Technology backgroundA technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices whatthe World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers. The mobile community begandeveloping WAP several years ago to provide access to the Internet for mobile users.Most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages even containlow-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service provider and othersare free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the sites are as varied as the webpages on the Internet.Internet content on your personal computer is called a “web page.” Internetcontent on your mobile phone is called a “page,” “WAP card,” or a “Deck of cards.”You may not be able to view all the details of the mobile Internet pages, as pageappearance may vary due to screen size.■ Service providerBecause mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, yourservice provider is now your mobile Internet service provider as well. It is likelythat your service provider has created a home page and set up your WAP browserto go to this page when you log on to the mobile Internet. Once at your serviceprovider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.■ Access serviceSet up serviceYou may receive the configuration settings required for browsing as a configurationmessage from the network operator or service provider that offers the service thatyou want to use.
