Internet 149 8. Internet This chapter describes how to get access to the Internet and how to use the Internet applications. Your communicator has the following browser applications: • WWW - A World Wide Web (WWW) browser supporting frames, JavaScript, and SSL (v.3) protocol • WAP - A browser for accessing various types of information, entertainment, and other services in Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) format. WAP is suited to mobile devices with small screen displays and limited amounts of memory. WAP uses mainly text but does support pictures. To connect to the Internet, • the wireless system you use must support data calls, • the data service must be activated for your SIM card, • you must have obtained an Internet access point from an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and • you must have entered the proper Internet settings. Note: The Mail application, described in the Messaging chapter, also uses an Internet connection. See 'Mail' on page 188. Your ISP can give you instructions on how to configure the Internet settings. Follow the instructions carefully. Note: You must have your phone turned on, within system coverage and free of any other voice or data call to connect to the Internet. Tip: To access WAP services, you need both an Internet access point and a WAP access point. See page 169.
