WAP brings on-line information across the Internet such as Mobile Banking, E-Mail and many other WAP content provider's information, live and direct to your phone. The everyday information you access through your PC, made available by accessing your mobile phone.
Basic Guide to WAP Usage
WAP works similar to the internet, in fact it shares many of the same protocols. WAP even has its own programming lanaguage called WML again similar to that of the average internet page. Just as you view the Internet through a 'Web Browser' you need to view WAP with a 'Wap Browser'. Just like you type in an internet address (URL) to access a website, you do the same for a Wapsite on your phone. By accesing a 'web server' through your ISP and logging onto the Internet, with WAP you do the same and the page is then sent to and displayed on your screen. |
