I finally got a new cell phone in the last few days, and it has a Microbrowser. However, my cellular carrier (US Cellular) does not support the microbrowser capability. Most carriers that do charge around $8 a month for this service. Now, from the info I can gather, there shouldn't be a charge to just access webservers that directly expose WML pages via WAP. Supposedly the fee the carriers charge is to translate standard web pages to WML. My question is can a phone be configured to use a public or free WAP servers even if the carrier doesn't support it?

Dan, you techgeek, you.

Dan, the answer is: No. If US cellular doesn't support this service, that you can't use any WAP connections as long as you're using this carrier [this is the situation in Pol;and, but in U.S. answer is probably the same]

I use Siemens ME45 [IrDA, WAP and GPRS] and Nokia 7110 [IrDA and WAP]. So I don't have that problem :]
