Setting up WAP accounts A WAP account (sometimes called a WAP profile) defines a service provider and gateway that should be used when making a connection to WAP services. You also need a WAP account when you use MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service). The WAP gateway sits between your P910i and the WAP site coding and decoding information. You can set up details of more than one gateway if necessary, for example one for your MMS messaging, one to access corporate data over WAP, and another to access your bank's WAP service. The easiest way to set up a WAP account on your P910i is automatically, through your service provider. Check your service provider's Web site for information or contact their support desk and ask about automatic setup. You can also find more information, and settings for many operators on: http://www.SonyEricsson.com/support. Note You access WAP pages through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) so, when you create a WAP account, you must choose one of your existing Internet accounts or first create a new one. Manually set up a WAP account Instead of setting up a WAP account automatically, you can enter the settings manually from Control panel > Connections > WAP accounts. First collect all the information you will need. You can obtain this information from the WAP service provider, or if you are connecting to a corporate network, your information services manager. All settings are described in 'WAP accounts' on page 165. To set up a new account follow the steps under 'To create a new WAP account' on page 165.
