<![CDATA[Fargostreet WAP]]>Is anybody else interested in WAP for Fargostreet?

There's some software called WiForums which will convert the Vbulletin stuff to WAP 2.0, its fairly cheap, $35 or so, I'll buy it if anybody else is interested in using it.

Oh by the way: WAP = Wireless Application Protocol = Fargostreet.com on your Cell Phone

Basically, it will allow you to post, reply and browse all the forums, including private messaging... even includes WiChat

If you have a Verizon, Tmobile, Sprint or Nextel phone, chances are you can get free internet on your telephone.

Verizon and Sprint both use CDMA technology... this means Sprint's "Vision" service is actually just 3G CDMA, while Verizons Express Network is 3G CDMA, and Broadband Access is EVDO.

This means: Vision and Express Network will allow you to surf the internet, with your phone tethered to another device (PDA or Laptop) at rates riviling a standard land line's 56k modem.

However, Verzions new "Broadband Access" uses the same technlogy as Monet Mobile used to use, offering up to 2mbps, much like a fast DSL connection.

T-Mobile, Cingular and AT&T use GSM technology. In general, GSM signal strength is lower, but the use of SIM cards is a plus. All GSM phone's use GPRS for data. GPRS is a feature that will allow any data that is sent from the phone, such as internet etc... and not be counted as minutes.

GPRS's data speeds are slightly faster then 3G CDMA.

Ok, now about internet on cell phones. MOST internet browsers that are built in, are WAP browsers. WAP browsers CAN NOT view standard web pages (that are written in HTML), they cant only view pages that are specifically built for wireless devices.

There are some exceptions to this, newer smart phones are now coming with HTML browsers included (things such as the samsung "i" series, and the more expensive nokia phones). These are able to view any webpage.

Spring and Verizon both offer wap service to thier telephones for a charge per month, to use thier WAP Gateway.

Your phone ---- Wap Gateway ---- Internet

You WAP gateway does NOT have to be from Verizon or Spring. It can be any gateway that you choose (there are settings in your phone, where you can enter the IP and port number).

This is NOT illegal, and is supported by verizon and sprint. Here's why: When you connect to the internet you use minutes, now if you get free nights and weekends, and you use it during this time period its no big deal, but what you have to remember is minutes actually aren't free. When it all calculates out, your phone carrier is still making money on you, but you using your minutes.

If you have any other questions let me know

I just set one up on a computer at my house.

You can also set it up so you get free MMS (picture messaging) becuase Verizon uses WAP to send those as well.

If you have a Palm, Cingular normally handles the wireless part of the deal, but they sorta don't cover the area around fargo, or ND for that matter. but i know verizon or sprint offers internet services for your Palm or elsewise, and that's nation wide (boo cingular).

When i went to the sprint store, they had only preapproved sites that sprint had modified to fit on the phones. There were about 40 of them. They were your basic sites like CNN, CNET, MSNBC, etc. Those were the only sites you could access on the internet ready phones, except for the PalmOS phones, which could access the entire internet. so what i'm trying to say, is that unless they changed how the phones access the internet, most sprint customers won't be able to access fargo street. hope that makes more sense.

I would be interested if I could get internet on my PDA.

I may be wrong, but i think that was how it was for all the phones when i went to the sprint store to buy my phone, except for the phones that were running off of the Palm OS.
