Hi,
I am looking for some help wit getting WAP on my phone. The phone is a Sony Ericsson T610 and I have been onto both the Sony Ericsson site and the O2 site to get the settings sent to me via a text message. Both times it seems to have worked until I try to connect and then it says 'Communication Error. Try again or contact your WAP service provider' but on the O2 website it also told me to contatc my sevice provider if I was having any problems... aren't they my supposed service provider?
I would be very grateful of any help,
Thanks,
Richard Steven

First you need to know that you can WAP in two ways with most phones. You can WAP over GSM or you can WAP over GPRS.
In order to WAP over GPRS (recommended), you need to have a GPRS enabled account with your service provider. If you don't have such an account, then if your settings are set to 'WAP over GPRS' then you will get a communication error when trying to connect.
Try changing the setting to WAP over GSM (which most service providers allow as part of the normal everyday package) and see if that works. Of course you will still need to get the WAP over GSM settings from your provider if you don't have them already.
Essentially, WAP over GSM is a dial-up service and you pay per minute and WAP over GPRS is an always on service and charged by the amount of data you transfer.
