How to disable the WAP function on a mobile

Lally

Got my mum a Siemens A60 and its just far too easy to get into the WAP function. Ive shown her how to lock the keypad but im worried she will go into it by accident and use up all her credit.

Is there any way I can disable it?

go to the wap settings and delete the phone number it attempts to dial?

Cant find a number, it seems to do it automatically. If it was a Nokia I could do this no prob but im unfamiliar with this make/model

Thanks for your reply!

I had this problem on the new c65, and eventually discovered how to get it to ask for confirmation before going online. Might work for the 60!

Go online.
Select 'options' (should be at bottom right of browser window)
Select 'setup' from the menu which appears
Select 'browser'
Scroll down to 'connectivity' and change to 'user confirmed'.

Now the phone asks for confirmation whenever the browser hotkey is pressed.

Hope this works for you - sure it'll be similar.

not sure of accuracy of that but reading the manual (page 48) I think it says how to choose a new WAP profile, could always choose an undefined profile which will have no dial information attached etc., or on page 67 it talks about the fast access keys(I'm assuming the left key has internet above it like in their example shown?), anyway they have instructions on how you can assign that key to something other than internet, just choose which option looks least dangerous, illumination maybe?

Thanks to the last 2 posters, will try and disable the WAP first, if i cant do that I will try and assign the button to something else
