LG A7150: Services & WAP

Services & WAP

Web access Menu 4.1

You can access various WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) services

such as banking, news, weather reports, and flight information. These

services are specially designed for mobile phones and they are maintained

by the WAP service providers.

Check the availability of WAP services, pricing and tariffs with your

network operator and/or the service provider whose service you wish to

use. Service providers will also give you instructions on how to use their

services.

Please contact your service provider to open an Internet account. To use

the Web Browser, you must indicate your phone number via the Own

number menu option

To launch the browser in standby mode, press and hold down the key.

Once connected, the homepage is displayed. The content depends on the

service provider.

The A7150 telephone incorporates EDGE technology (Enhanced Data

Rates for Global Evolution) which increases data transmission capacity to

a maximum of 200Kb/s.

Therefore EDGE makes it possible to enjoy increased speed for a large

number of applications such as Internet connections, file receipt and

transmission (photos, audio and so on) and in general to use existing

services with a considerable improvement in the service.

EDGE telephones use GSM/GPRS network infrastructures after proper

updating by network operators. Check with your operator for service

availability and EDGE network coverage.

When the phone is operating on the EDGE network, a icon is shown

next to the indicator showing the strength of the signal (see page 20).
