Free WAP Browser Access

For those interested in using the WAP browser (I use mine to check AOL mail when my wife is signed on), here's an alternate to paying $6.95/mo for the Verizon Wireless Mobile Web. Got this link from the Howard Forums, it's done on a T720, but it's just changing the IP address, so no reason why it shouldn't work on a Smart(er)phone.

So where is this setting. Just checked PREFs and the Preferences selection within the WAP browser - no luck. So I am not sure exactly how this would be made to work on the 6035.

WAP Browser

It's not changed in Prefs, flip closed, enter 111111 (6 1's), push the dial in on Options, scroll to WAP Browser Setup, open flip and enter the IP address, tap Ok

Thanks. I missed that you had to be in diagnostic mode to make the change! The Mad Scientist has been shamed to have assumed it involved lightning and a freshly exhumed corpse.

I've tried using public gateways before without success, I'll try this one.

FYI: I keep on forgetting to check, but I sometimes suspect that Verizon's access control to MW might be to block ports 9200-9203 for nonsubscribers, which would explain why every other WAP browser I've tried that uses a gateway didn't work. If you fail to get a connection to 9201, try the 1201 port.

Verizon uses port 9203, which is for encrypted connections. Our browser might just crap out on any non-encrypted gateway.

Edit: Just tried WAPTunnel outside. (Signal drops from full strength to 0 within 10 feet of the door - Combo of shielding and interference, since my company develops power amplifiers for cellular base stations.) ****, unlike every other public WAP gateway I've tried, IT WORKS!!! Now I just have to change the homepage to vzw's portal.

What if I don't have WAP browser setup as an option?

Incidentally, the only reason I am interested in this is because Citigroup has a wap feature thru which you can make credit card payments. I have the Browse WEB (aka Blazer) browser, which is supposedly a WAP browser, but it always gives me "page temporarily unavailable" errors when I try to access the site:

(https://w.accountonline.com) only one "w"

What about security? waptunnel says something about it being insecure since it's public but does the "https" still make it encrypted?

TIA

yeah. I started out telling the browser to go to Yahoo's WAP portal, as mentioned by KMHPaladin in the thread at wirelessadvisor.com . However I now can't figure out how to get this browser to prompt me for any OTHER address. I don't understand why it's so obscure.

Update: Ok, after logging into Yahoo from my PC and clicking "mobile" I found the thing that supposedly lets you add WAP sites to your mobile web bookmarks list. So I did that for one site. Back to the phone, start the WAP Broswer, go through the amazingly tedious procedure to log into Yahoo by inputting my username and password in Graffitti, select Bookmarks in the WAP browser... and Yahoo reports that it can't find the page with my links on it.

Does anyone have this working? What am I missing?

Ok, I've tried all the different ports and such for making this work; and I can't.

Can someone that isn't paying for Wireless Web with Verizon that DOES have WapTunnel summarize their settings so I can try to make this work?

I'd sure appreciate it. All I ever get is "Service Not Available."

I'm trying this now with my Sprint Smartphone, I'm in San Francisco. I set my "1st IP#" under "WAP settings" to 207.232.99.109 port 9201, and when I fire up OpenWave nothing happens, it just says "sending" for awhile then says "data server not available".

I should say that I'm using Sprint. Anyone have any luck using Sprint with this service?

Also, someone am I correct in thinking that Sprint won't charge me for wireless minutes with this method? They'll only charge for regular phone airtime, as if it were a voicecall?

WAP now works

Well, I just got my wife a stupid phone (Motorola V60i) and tried the setup. It works. So, I went back to my (alleged) Smartphone and tried it again. Now it works.

Go figure.

It works with port 9203.

Security Error

I have tried all of the above (on a 6035) and am getting "Security error: Key not recognized"

Any thoughts?

Moto V60

Yeah, it's a really cool phone, but it looks *so* easy to scratch. My wife is all paranoid she's going to scratch it. I really like it, but you can't play Spy Hunter on it.

if you are on sprint, that means you need to call them and have them set up your WW properly...

That's the problem I was seeing. It miraculously went away and left me completely befuddled.

Success, but...

I configured my phone IP settings and setup the openwave browser to the waptunnel site and everything is working fine.

However, why would I want to do this since it seems much easier and faster to browse what appears to be the same content by using my PQA's (Most notably: MobileWeb)???

If I didn't have a 6035 this would probably be valuable to me. However, compared with the free WAP browser:
- I can do more with my Eudora or Blazer browser
- I can do the same easier and faster with my Mobile Web PQA
- I can do additional things with other PQAs

Am I missing something here???
