can you run MSN messenger from WAP?

[Guest martin]

i dont see why im makin a gprs connection and then setting it as a wap connection and not an internet one (as desribed in that thread) 

im jus totally confused

WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is associated with WML (Wireless Markup Language) internet pages, and these were composed mainly of text. It allowed the early Nokia phones with those little tiny green screens to access the internet and download information. Obviously the phones were not able to display full HTML pages.

You can access both HTML or WML pages through either a CSD (circuit switched data) 9.6K connection or via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services). CSD and GPRS are just different means of transferring data, circuit switched data and Packet switched data.

You will need to setup two GPRS connections for the network.

GPRS internet connection for HTML pages

GPRS WAP connection for WML pages.

(two settings required for two different access point names)

The GPRS settings are dependent on whether you are contract or pre-pay.

They are usually given different access point names.

Does this help or have I confused you more ?

I've think I've just realised what your asking now ? :roll:

You must first create a 'GPRS connection' for WML pages (WAP) and select it in 'WAP connection', then you create a 'GPRS connection' for HTML pages and select it in 'Internet connection'.

Both GPRS connections ARE created with 'Connects to: The Internet' but they have then been given different APN's (access point names).
