WAP is not GPRS. GPRS is one of the platforms a WAP service can run on. Other platforms include: CSD, HSCSD, EDGE, UMTS. To use WAP via GPRS, ask your operator to et you up & send you the "GPRS WAP account" settings. Cheers.

@Yeppi: Have you put in your operator WAP settings on your phone? Even if yes, there are times some adjusments are necessary.

@Yeppi

The Sony Ericsson website has a support area where you can download wap and GPRS settings directly to your handset. Just enter the model number of your mobile and select your handset from the list provided. You can then choose, which settings you want to download.

Which phone you have? Are you sure it has gprs? If not call and get the dial up wap settings.
