I'm not the originator of info.
Well, you still pay for airtime, but you do not have to pay the $5/month to Verizon.
You are using Yahoo as your ISP instead of Verizon.
Yahoo doesn't charge for this service.

I tried it, it works. Seems limited, cant't check movie times. Is the vzw network any different???
...
i was able to check movie times at hollywood video wap site..i set up a wap site with many of my favorite links so i could quickly access wap sites..check it out: http://KDxPortal.webhop.net
...
Do you pay simple airtime (like out of 400 minutes) or do you pay some special rate for transfered data?
...
absolutely free if you have unlimited nights and weekends..no hidden costs for once!! strictly uses airtime minutes
...
Are you sure the gateway ip is right. Mine says gateway ip 1: Then when I imput the numbers you gave it says.... each segment must be from 0 to 255. Help!!!!!!! Jen
...
try a 0 in front of that double digit number
...
Just changed it. Got to launch..saying error timed out.. still trying...
...
It's not working, it keeps timing out. Any suggestions? Jen
...
Double check all the information. I had the same problem and then I realized I typed in the info for Port 1 incorrectly.
...
You shouldnt have to use any 0's infront of the numbers. I just spaced over after using the IP above and had no problems.
Be sure you clear out the second IP or make it the same as the first.
...
Mine keeps timing out? Any suggestions? Thx..

So all this does is take you to the YAHOO page?
Can't you "surf" to any other pages??
...
yes..they just gave the yahoo wap page as a homepage, kinda like paying respect to the server you're using..you can just as easily put any wap site in the homepage location..just make sure the ip and ports are as listed
...
RocoSep 3, 2004, 6:55 PM
But can you just surf around anywhere...even if I use Yahoo or whatever else as my homepage?
...
as long as the webpage you're trying to access supports wap..instead of an .html, wap sites generally have the extension .wml..a language similar to .html but viewable on a mobile device...wml is basically a stripped down version of html for quick loading times on the slower cell phone connection..i use http://wap.google.com to search for compatible sites..that address is google's wap search engine..displaying results to wap sites..theres also an option to search the whole web...if you can't type a url in yourself, you can create your own wap site and provide links to your favorite sites..like mine: http://KDxPortal.webhop.net ..you can preview it on your pc with a wap emulator found here: the .wml is a wap extension, kinda like an .html is ...

huh?
So bottom line, I just can't go on my phone and type in a web address, right?
...
not if you have the v710..sorry jack
...
RocoSep 3, 2004, 7:17 PM
what up wit dat?
...
if you can find a wap explorer page you can set it as your homepage and type addresses in that way
...
RocoSep 3, 2004, 7:31 PM
Like GOOGLE?
Can I do that by just substituting YAHOO for GOOGLE in the setup section?
...
This is a pretty good find. I have a Yahoo address book and can see my entries in WAP but when I go to click on one, the information doesn't show up. It also doesn't say "sending". Is Yahoo address book not working on WAP right now?

Ok I can get to yahoo, but how do you visit a different URL than the homepage one you've listed?
...
Someone help this dude out....
...
to enter a url, i go to wap.google.com and then goto: 'entire web' then there is an option to enter a url..also, take advantage of the 'take snapshot' feature in the browser, this 'bookmarks' the pages you visit frequently and you can jump to that page quickly instead of waiting for the page to load everytime
...
RocoSep 7, 2004, 6:39 PM
How do you go to wap.google.com?
Do you go there on the phone?
Please explain--thanks
...
i set my homepage to http://wap.google.com since you can access all other sites from the google site..or make your own wap site with your favorite links for easy access..or on your first visit to a site take a snapshot and save it to your phone for quick loading time..you can take a snapshot of the url page and just jump to that page when you want to type in a url
...
RocoSep 7, 2004, 6:47 PM
HOW do you make GOOGLE your HOME page?
...
RocoSep 7, 2004, 6:48 PM
I ask because when I log on it takes me to the Yahoo page only....??
...
in the settings where you initially changed the ip address..where you must've changed it to yahoo in the first place
...
RocoSep 7, 2004, 6:53 PM
OK thanks
...
RocoSep 7, 2004, 6:57 PM
do you set it to wap.google.com or wap.oa.google.com?
...
i have mine set to wap.google.com
...
