Windows Smartphone comes with a web browser that's capable of browsing WAP content. We're happy to provide step-by-step settings on how to configure dial-up and GPRS WAP access if there's a demand for it. For the moment, below you'll find the GPRS settings for Orange. If you need more information, see our WAP page, or ask in our Smartphone forum.

For the purposes of this walkthrough, we're going to assume that you are in the UK and that you want to create a new dial-up account with an Internet Service Provider. Here, we're using a free dial-up BT Yahoo dial-up account. If you don't have an existing dialup account, then sign up for one from BT Yahoo free-of-charge and get a pay-as-you go account. There's no subscription fee, and you only pay standard call rates for the time you're online. We're rather keen on BT Yahoo for on-the-move access to email and web.
To get an account, first, go to register.btinternet.com from a PC, select "Pay as you Go" and create an account. You'll then get some details that you'll need to set up your account on your Smartphone. Then, looking at the Smartphone, follow these instructions:
