12. Mobile Web (Menu 9)

Minibrowser is a network service. See “Network Services”, page 7 for
more information.

Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the
mobile internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, then you can
view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information, and
much more. The web browser on your phone can display WAP-based content.

Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia.
Nokia does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you
should take the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any
internet site.

The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway
and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure.
The service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the
content server.

Mobile internet access

Because mobile internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
wireless provider is now your mobile internet service provider as well.

It is likely that your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your
browser to go to this page when you log on to the mobile internet. Once at your
service provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.

It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone.
Normally this is done by your wireless provider once you have subscribed to the
feature. Contact your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.

.

After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home
page. If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for browsing.
Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your phone is configured properly.

Navigate the mobile internet

Since your phone screen is much smaller than a computer screen, mobile internet
content is displayed differently than you may be accustomed to seeing. This section

To browse the WAP site, press the Scroll up or Scroll down key.

To enter letters and numbers, press a key from 0–9.

To enter special characters, press the * key.

Receive a call while online

Depending on your wireless service provider, you may still be able to receive a voice
call while using the WAP browser.

To answer the incoming call, press the Call key.

To reject the incoming call, press the End key.

After you end your voice call, the mobile internet connection automatically resumes.

Note: If your wireless service provider does not support incoming calls
while browsing, then the incoming calls are automatically diverted to
voice mail.

Make an emergency call while online

You can end your data connection and then make an emergency call.

1. To close your mobile internet connection, simply press the End key.

2. Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
