6JG 5RTKPV 2%5 9KTGNGUU 9GD $TQYUGT Your phone comes equipped with a MiniBrowser which makes it possible for you to use the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser. The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser allows you to access up-to-the-minute information through your Sprint PCS Phone. View specially designed text versions of popular Internet sites including Yahoo!®, CNN Mobile5/ and even The Weather Channel®. Browsing the wireless web through your phone is unlike using your computer in that site providers have selected only the critical aspects of their site to present to wireless phone users and have removed most graphics. Each time you launch the Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser, the phone will connect to the Internet through the Sprint PCS Wireless Web and the service indicator icon ( ) will appear on the display. Any time the service indicator icon is visible on the display, you are connected to the Sprint PCS Wireless Web and will be invoiced accordingly. Rates will vary according to your service option. The Sprint PCS Wireless Web will end the connection after a certain period of network inactivity and will automatically reconnect as necessary. For this reason, you may find that you are billed for several network connections within a single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize your bill.
