Hi James,
GPRS, General Packet Radio System, is just a way of connecting to the
Internet, via a mobile phone. WAP, Wireless Access Protocol, is just a
means by which web pages are rendered smaller, and less graphically
cluttered for mobile phones. You only actually need GPRS for a successful
connection to the Wayfinder server, but in general terms, GPRS is a vehicle
by which you can connect to WAP or even web pages, with your phone.
Hope this helps.
All the best

Hi steve
Could you explain 'WAP', 'GPRS' and what exactly I need for Wayfinder? I
guess We can take this off list if people are getting bored!

Hi James,
You only actually require Wap to be enabled, you don't necessarily need
Orange World, although it is good, because you can now use Wap with Talks,
and it has some interesting elements, like looking up train times for
example.
All the best

Hi
I've just got a Nokia 6630 set up with Talks (as Steve will know). I want
to use Wayfinder, so I phoned Orange earlier to activate my GPRS and they
gave me a trial of 'Orange world'. Is this what I need to access the
Internet? Or does it only give you access to their silly WAP site?
Thanks
James
