WAP Browser 
The Wireless Application Services (WAP) browser is suitable for interaction with services such as on-
line reservations, e-commerce and banking. It can also be used for accessing information such as 
stock prices, sports news and exchanges rates. Internet surfing and data transfer is greatly 
enhanced by using the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) functionality. 
Using the WAP browser is very similar to the way you would use a traditional web browser. 
The browser allows you to: 
•  Connect to the internet and interact with specially designed WAP services 
•  View pages on the Internet designed specifically for WAP services 
!  The option of surfing Internet depends on the availability of this service from your Cellular 
Service Provider and whether you have subscribed to the service. Please check with your 
Cellular Service Provider regarding WAP configurations. 
!  GPRS availability depends on your Cellular Service Provider and whether you have subscribed to 
the service.  
In order to connect to the Internet using WAP, you will need: 
Apply for Data service from your Cellular Service Provider. 
1   Subscribe to a WAP service from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). 
2   Setup your device to enable you to connect to the Internet. 
3   Activate your WAP browser. 
Before you can start using the WAP browser, it is important that you configure your device to
