Mobile Internet
The Mobile Internet browser allows you to:
• Connect to the Internet and interact with specially-designed Mobile
Internet services.
• View pages on the Internet designed for Mobile Internet.
• Access information from Mobile Internet pages on the Internet more
quickly than you would by accessing HTML pages with a traditional web
browser.
What Is Mobile Internet?
The Mobile Internet program is an Internet browser using a standard called
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and a language called Wireless Markup
Language (WML). This standard was specially created for wireless
communication via mobile companions, such as your Ericsson MC 218, and
mobile phones. Mobile Internet gives faster and better performance than a
traditional web browser (using HTML). The Mobile Internet browser is
suitable for interaction with services offering e.g. ticket and hotel reservations,
or online banking and electronic commerce. It is also handy when you want to
access text- based information, such as timetables, share prices and exchange
rates.
Note! The Mobile Internet browser cannot read HTML web pages.
Using the Mobile Internet browser in many respects resembles the way you
use a traditional web browser. Therefore the following sections deal only with
actions that are typical to the Mobile Internet browser. For other instructions,
please refer to the section about the web browser.
The Mobile Internet browser is not pre-installed on your MC 218, but you can
easily install it from the CD supplied with your MC 218.
In order to access the Internet you need to set up your MC 218 properly. The
easiest way to do this is to run the Internet Setup Wizard. Please refer to the
“Ericsson Mobile Internet Setup Wizard” chapter in this manual for more
information.
If your operator refers you to another gateway than the default one for Mobile
Internet, you have to enter the new gateway information manually.
To set the gateway information:
1. Tap the Extras icon, and then tap the Mobile Internet program icon.
2. On the Tools menu, select Preferences.
3. Tap the Gateway tab.
