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.
