The Sprint PCS Wireless Web Browser
Your phone comes equipped with a Browser, which allows
you to access up-to-the minute information through the
Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
You can view specially-designed text versions of popular
Internet sites, including Yahoo!

, Amazon.com
®
, The
Weather Channel

, and more. Browsing the Sprint PCS
Wireless Web using your phone is rather different from
using a home computer because sites display specialized
text and reduce their graphics.
The Browser connects to the Internet by placing a call. Note
that
appears on the display whenever a call is in progress,
just as with a regular voice call. Service charges vary
depending on your service option.
