Plain ol' WAP browser for C500/SMT5600?

[Guest MitzEclipse]

Hi All,

Since T-Mobile is downgrading the $2.99/$4.99 GRPS WAP data plans to only allow WAP only, are there any web browsers out there for the C500/SMT5600 that ONLY support WAP?

I can't use IE because it will use port 80, which is disabled now.

Any progs out there?

Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but PIE doesn't support Port 80....the GPRS connection is set to port 80.

When you set up a wap connection...in settings, data connections....

you'll create a WAP setting using a different port.

See the Articles Section for the GPRS/WAP Repository...on the third page is TMobile.

The browser is fine for wap.

I'm a T-Mo user and have heard all the stories of T-Mobile closing port 80. WRONG!!!

WAP is a language just like HTML and is transferred using port 80. Here is the code (PHP) I use to detect a Symbian Phone.

if (preg_match("/SymbianOS/i", $HTTP_USER_AGENT)) {

$browser = 'symbian';

} else {

$browser = '';

}

While I would like to test a WAP Browser on the phone I don't think it will work. I tethered with my laptop and using Klondike WAP browser I'm not able to go to any sites. I can resolve IP address (DNS works) but that’s it.

** UPDATE **

I did a little testing and my Nokia 3650 built in browser sufrs fine, Opera doesn't work. My 5600 will go nowhere. I have read that T-Mo does IMEI filtering for T-Zones (why it won't work on some phones) but I think they are filtering the browser type. I tested my wap site (wap-news.net) and it doesn't work on my 5600 but does on my 3650 using the built in browser.

I have the same problem. I'm on the 2.99 grandfathered WAP plan which is the 4.99 plan that everyoen has...

On my 7250 i have no problem browsing wap sites.

On my SMT5600 i cannot get anywhere, which is why i was wondering if tehre was a plain ol' WAP browser app, which could mimic the 7250. Is there one out there??

Or maybe if we use other browsers??

IE does WAP. Thats why I think T-Mo is filtering the type of browser. If I use ActiveSync passthrew I can go to my WAP only site fine. This shows me 2 things. First IE supports WAP (if the browser doesn't my site tells you to use a WAP browser). The other is that T-Mobile isn't just blocking full HTML they are also blocking the 5600 from going to WAP sites.

Let me also state that the code above is actually to detect a specific phone/browser this is what I use to detect if the browser supports WAP.

if (strstr(strtolower($HTTP_ACCEPT), "text/vnd.wap.wml")) {

$type = "wml";

} else {

$type = "html";

}

I myself am just going to setup a proxy as I maybe use 2-3MB a month. I haven't done it yet (just found it) but will be setting it up tonight. http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php...threadid=518513

jleecong, so basically what you're going to be setting up is to use your home computer as the proxy when you're surfing wap sites on your phone? am I understanding this correctly?

Thats what I was going to do however I got things working using T-Mobiles Proxy. Check my thread (link below) for instructions and let me know how it works for you. I'm able to go to full html site when a wap version isn't availible. Haven't tried tethering yet.

Glad it's working for you as well. I have't gotten the "good" version of Yahoo Mobile in a few weeks. Not sure what the problem is. The site changes day to day but I use the same address.

jleecong,

Thank you again - I really appreciate it. I don't have the "good" version of yahoo yet... but I'll post when I do. Please do the same.
