How do you access this forum through WAP?

No, I dont think so. :-?
Not yet anyway.
There seems to be admin utilities in wap.a...a...s....com at the time.

Why dont you use WebViewer to browse?

Wap would be possible. Is there any interest in me creating something (would start off as news, software directory, support only).

Forum theoretically possible, but it would take a while. Any phpBB experts out there willing to help.

Unfortunately yes!! It is too expensive on GPRS. :2gunfire:

But the silver lining is... atleast that keeps me off the site when i'm out...and helps get some work done. 😮

[quote="PRLYago"]But my ISP charges about $0.0175/kB for GPRS... Wouldn't it cost a _fortune_ to use webviewer?[/quote]

Yeah, GPRS is really expensive in my country as well.... :x
But I still use Webviewer every ones in a while though. I've found that disabling the pics and using small fonts really reduces the amount of data transferred, and improves the speed alot. Of course it's not that much fun, but at least you'll be able to view html sites at a "reasonable" price...

....And btw, Rafe, if you could get a WAP site up and running that would've been great IMO!! 😃
Especially a WAP version of this awesome Forum! Something similar to Esato would've been really great!! 😃

ever used webviewer to access this forum, u have to back and fro from every post, its about 4-6 kb for that. In singapore each kb cost S$0.005. that's work out to 2-3 cents for every page

Seems to be some intereste then. I'll start with news when I get a chance. Read only access to the forum might come some time soon. No promises. I've got loads on at the moment.

Oh and just a request - ould someone who uses webviewer to acess the forum sned me a screenshot of it your 7650, just for my interest 😊

@Rafe

I'd do it, but I don't know how to upload an image here...? I don't have a host to store the image or anything... Are there any other ways of posting images here?

That's fairly cool.. 😊

Dont forget the mobile edition, which I imagine would work best on the 7650 small screen..

KERN-EXEC 3

what am i doing wrong???

do you need gprs?

greetzzzz

Yes you need your internet APN activating, and you will need grps settings. You probably best off contacting your service provider.

Also note that you can access via Dial-Up to an ISP, which is the method I use, as it is probably cheaper for me as GPRS is very expensive for the amount I would use.
