6. WAP
WAP is a network service. See "Network services," p. 5
.
Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services
on the mobile internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you
can view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information,
and much more. The web browser on your phone can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia.
Nokia does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you
should take the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any
internet site.
If the security indicator ( ) is displayed during a connection, the data transmission
between the device and the internet gateway or server is encrypted. The service
provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
Important : Use only services that you trust and that offer adequate
security and protection against harmful software.

Mobile internet access
Because mobile internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone,
your wireless provider is now your mobile internet service provider as well.
Your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your browser to go
to this page when you log on to the mobile internet. Once at your service
provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone.
Normally this is done by your wireless provider when you subscribe to the
feature. Contact your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.
■
Sign on to the mobile internet
Select Menu > WAP .
After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home
page. If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for browsing.
Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your phone is configured properly.

Navigate the mobile internet
Since your phone screen is much smaller than a computer screen, mobile internet
content is displayed differently than you may be accustomed to seeing.
This section contains guidelines for using phone keys to navigate a WAP site.
