If you have not accessed a WAP or website before, you may find you need to set up your phone before you can access the Bird News Anywhere service (though many phones are supplied pre-configured). If you're not sure, contact your mobile provider or handset manufacturer; the following websites may prove useful:

This would be a large investment, and would need peering arrangements with a mobile operator. Being a WAP Gateway host effectively means that you control Web content to that gateway and could therefore make this gateway a portal to specific services (with or without access to the Internet at large). Having access to a WAP Gateway also means that it may be feasible to offer location-specific content (specific to that gateways location, that is). See similar questions...

No, WAP Proof does not contain WAP settings for mobile phones. Ask your mobile operator for the WAP settings of your mobile phone. Check that the web page you are attempting to view can be opened in your web browser (Mozilla or Internet Explorer). It can be done by copying the URL from WAP Proof's URL line to the web browser's URL line. If the web browser does also report an error, check your network settings. See similar questions...

The Bird News Anywhere service, by default, automatically detects what kind of browser you are using, and delivers the pages in the format required. However you can override this "auto-detect" facility from the setup page to force the service to supply XHTML, HTML or WML (WAP) - see "Protocol" in "Your advanced settings". Reset your account via the setup page - see "Your mobile number" in the "Your Bird News Anywhere Settings" section. See similar questions...

I am not sure if WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is alive or dead. There are a lot of (more or less) usable WML (Wireless Markup Language) pages but there are more HTML pages optimized for mobile devices such as Pocket PC. There are also a lot of sub-domains (wap.example.com) which are no WAP/WML pages which can be confusing for users (and me). See similar questions...
