WAP Settings For GSM Phones

In most cases your phone comes with all the necessary settings to access the internet. That's when you buy the phone from your carrier. But, if you have bought the phone overseas or locally from another carrier and got it unlocked, you have to set your phone up manually to be able to access the internet. Most people don't care about this because they use their phone only as a phone, they don' t use it to browse the internet. There are two reasons - cost is use high and ease of use is low. But as the technology is evolving, this will change. For those, who can't wait for this evolution to happen, for people like me, here are the settings for major Canadian GSM service providers -

Some phones have their WAP settings "locked". That means, you cannot re-program it to use it on your choice of carrier. Even though your phone is "unlocked". In most cases when you get a phone unlocked, it's only the "phone" part that is unlocked. The WAP portion sometimes stays locked. Either the person who unlocked the phone didn't bother to unlock the WAP or he didn't know how to do it. If you have such a phone don't worry, there are places that can do it. One of them is E Wireless (http://www.e-wireless.ca/). They are located in Brampton.
