Built in & opera browser info(FAQ)

Built in browser is for WAP sites and uses WAP over GPRS connection.
Operah uses internet over GPRS connection which allows you to go to all html sites.

Globe Telecomms chargers me Php 0.05 pero kb of download. This will only take effect when im using opera (unless i connected to my network)

Built in browser will not allow you to go to site other than wap sites because I tried it and it doesnt work and you can try it yourself also.

I have a question though, when I use JustYak, I use my WAP over GPRS connection so does that mean its free for me?

? What are you talking about?!
The built-in browser can of course also access www sites! It does not however support javascript, nor frames. The Opera browser supports this.

The difference is that the built-in browser allows you to access www sites through a WAP APN, which Opera does not. Opera requires an INTERNET APN.

I stand corrected 😊 With that in my raven, can you help me out? These being the rates of my company http://www.myglobe.com.ph/portal/faqs.asp?conid=610&categoryid=176&title=faqs

Am I being charge if I use the internet apn?

It doesn't really say on that link, but from what I've heard from other Globe users, surfing through a WAP APN is free, while surfing through an INTERNET APN costs. So that would mean that the built-in browser is free for you guys(bastards! :P ), while Opera cost money.
