Setting up WAP for other
operators

For a list of WAP settings
for other UK mobile phone operators including Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange
and Virgin Mobile, you’ll need to use the same steps as detailed above,
but instead of the o2 settings, substitute the settings needed to connect
to your network’s WAP service. You can find a list of the UK operator’s
settings on our WAP page

Problems
connecting

If you’re having
problems connecting to WAP, try the following advice:

• On the 6600,
  you have to make sure the Gateway address is entered in the Proxy
  Server settings box, and this is hidden under an advanced menu. Make
  sure you’ve entered this setting
• In order
  to use WAP, you must have data services enabled on your account. If
  you can’t connect, contact your network operator (e.g. o2, Orange,
  Vodafone or T-Mobile),
  and ask them to ensure that your SIM Card is ‘data-enabled’.
• If trying
  to connect via GPRS, note that this is a different service to standard
  dial-up WAP access. Again, contact your network operator to ensure
  GPRS is enabled on your account.
• Still having problems? Double-check
  your settings are 100% correct. The UK settings for the main network
  operators can be found on our WAP page. Alternatively, try getting
  the settings sent to your handset using the Nokia
  Configurator.
• If you’re still having problems,
  best bet is to ask in our forum
  with details of handset type and error messages. Alternatively, contact
  your network operator for help.

  GPRS.
