The Great 'WAP Site' Hunt

CockneyBrum

I think WAP is on the whole a good invention. It's just let down by phones not being configured properly when you buy them, and also the lack of genuinely useful WAPsites (such as a petrol price comparison, or proper eBay!).

Anyway, it's nice to give something back to this website, so here's a couple of good uns I use regularly:

Hi,

This is great info! Is WAP same as GPRS? I am on Vodafone so can i go onto these WAP sites as part of my inclusive minutes?

stevo25

wap is the medium ie internet and gprs is the means of receiving it instead of dial up its faster

Hi

If you bookmark http://coeliacmob.com in your phone you will find a wap site I have developed.

You can search for any food products you are thinking of buying and see if it is gluten free or not.

Should be useful for people who suffer from coeliac disease and their family and friends.

Please let me know of any problems you encounter or if you like the site and find it useful.

wap.ananova.org has a great live football scores section which is useful when you are at football and you want to see how other games are going

I've actually set up my own little WAP site. It hasn't got a lot to offer (I only set it up for a bit of fun), but you can read complete unabridged versions of two books that I've uploaded (the copyright has expired, so it ain't dodgy!)

The two books are Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and The Antichrist by Nietschze.

Okay, okay, everyone tells me you'd have to be crazy to want to read a whole book on a phone, but I found it great for on the train. You download a whole chapter (or half-chapter) at a time, so once you're reading you can disconnect (so dial-up users aren't wasting money, and you can read on the tube).

Anyway, if you'd like a look, point your phone to http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/insanity/text.wmlc

N.B. This link only works with WAP - not in an ordinary web browser such as Internet Explorer.

I hope you like them :-)

If you register using your pc at http://www.mydigiguide.com/dgx/wbl.dll?h=1&a=4
you can create a channel listing. You can then access your selected tv & radio channel listings from your phone (but not from your PC???). Just use mobile google & search for mydigiguide.

You can also access hotmail.com from wap.
