Im a total newbie when it comes to phones that can actually "do more things than call people". Ive already made a post on the tech board cause the IR is driving me nuts as well.


Right now i have a t637 brand new from cingular and im on the $29.99 plan with no extra features (so i guess that means im being billed by the KB usage whenever i surf the net on my phone.

does it makes sense to get an internet plan if i only plan on using it every so often?

also, what is WAP i keep hearing about and how is it different from normal internet access on my phone
is there additional charge for WAP usage?

anyway, i apologize if i sound completely new and uninformed but i figured if there was any place to learn about my new phone this was it.

Thanks

Welcome here! U should contact your operator and let u inform abov the charges of wap csd and wap gprs. At the first u pay for the time u browse, at the second for the downloaded data amount. They can send u the settings via sms and u just have to store it. This message was posted from a T68i

U can acces gmail account via your phone email pop3 client but first you need to activate pop3 acces from gmail settings. Also, i think that the pop3 and smtp addresses must be entered as IP (so it worked on my t300). Do a ping (from ms-dos prompt - 'ping address' to pop3/smtp gmail address This message was posted from a Nokia 7650

Wap means wirelles application protocol. Wap uses wml and xhtml. The wap pages are designed for devices with small screen. @bobafet gmail offers pop3 acces for about a mounth.. This message was posted from a Nokia 7650
