Mobile web
Your phone comes equipped with Mobile Web Service. You
can view specially designed versions of popular sites which
include sports, weather, news, stock quotes, and more.
Browsing the web through your phone is not the same as
using your PC since site providers have only selected certain
aspects of the available sites which they present to wireless
phone users and have removed most graphics.
Each time you launch the Mobile Web Service, your phone
connects to the Internet and appears in the display.
Any time the service indicator icon is visible on the display,
you are connected to the Internet and will be billed
accordingly. Rates and pricing vary according to your
service contract. Stored web content.
Mobile Web Service ends an Internet connection after a
certain period of inactivity, however some information from
your session remains stored in the phone, (if you leave your
phone turned on). You can access this information without
reconnecting to the Internet. If, while viewing stored
information, you select a link to a site not accessed in your
last session, you automatically re-connect to the Internet.
Launch the Mobile Web Service
The first time you use Mobile Web Service, you are
prompted to go through a security setup process that takes
approximately three to five minutes. When the security key is
initially sent to the carrier, a unique value is created. If the
phone is reset for any reason, you must contact the carrier to
reset the security key. The original key is no longer valid and
Mobile Web Service will not operate.
