11. Mobile web
Mobile web is a network service. See "Network services," p. 5.
Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the mobile
internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you can view weather reports,
check news or flight times, view financial information, and much more. The web browser on
your phone can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia. Nokia does
not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you should take the same
precautions, for security or content, as you would with any internet site.
If the security indicator (
) is displayed during a connection, the data transmission between
the device and the internet gateway or server is encrypted. The service provider secures the
data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
Important: Use only services that you trust and that offer adequate security and
protection against harmful software.

Mobile internet access
Because mobile internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your wireless
provider is now your mobile internet service provider as well.
Your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your browser to go to this page
when you log on to the mobile internet. Once at your service provider’s home page, you may
find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone. Normally this is
done by your wireless provider when you subscribe to the feature. Contact your wireless
provider if you have problems using the browser.
■
Sign on to the mobile internet
Select Menu > Mobile web.
After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home page.
If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for browsing. Contact your
wireless provider to make sure that your phone is configured properly.

Navigate the mobile internet
Since your phone screen is much smaller than a computer screen, mobile internet content is
displayed differently than you may be accustomed to seeing. This section contains guidelines
for using phone keys to navigate a WAP site.

You can end your data connection and make an emergency call.
1. To close your mobile internet connection, press the end key.

Clear the cache and disconnect
A cache is a memory location that is used to store data temporarily. If you have tried to access or
have accessed confidential information requiring passwords, empty the cache after each use. The
information or services you have accessed are stored in the cache. To empty the cache while in
the browser menu, select Navigate > Advanced > Clear. Scroll to the cache and select Cache >
Clear. The cache also clears when you press and hold the end key to power off your device.
To close your mobile internet connection while browsing, press the end key.
