15. Web
Your phone has a built-in browser, which can be used to connect to
selected services on the mobile Internet. Many wireless mobile Internet access
features are network-dependent, and some features may not be available.
Contact your service provider for more information.
■ Technology background
A technology called wireless application protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices
what the world wide web (WWW) is to personal computers.
Most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages even contain
low-resolution graphics or require data input.
You may not be able to view all the details of the mobile Internet pages,
as page appearance may vary due to screen size.
■ Service provider
Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
service provider is now your mobile Internet service provider as well. It is likely that
your service provider has created a home page and set up your WAP 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.
