WAP/GPRS

COMPATIBILITY GUIDE

WAP/GPRS

WAP is the internet on your mobile phone. It gives access to almost everything you can do on the web such as, download music, ringtones, games, buy cds, cinema tickets, gifts, and pretty much anything over your mobile phone! If your phone is not setup to use WAP then you're missing out!

If your phone is not already configured with WAP/GPRS upon purchase and activation, you will then need to configure & activate it in order to purchase anything from our site or our affiliated sites. If your phone says, "Check your configuration" when trying to access the web browser, or trying to download content, then you will need to get it configured for WAP/GPRS. There are no costs to be enabled.

Configuration:

The fastest way to set up WAP/GPRS is to call the customer service department of your network service provider. They will then be able to send you the configuration as a text message taking you through the process systematically. There are no costs to be enabled.

You can get the Number for your network service provider from your last phone bill, or feel free to try and contact them with the below list we have provided for you:
