Browsing the Sprint PCS Wireless Web using your phone is different than using a home computer because sites display specialized text and reduce their graphics.The MiniBrowser 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.

Experiencing Sprint PCS Wireless Web 15115 15 15 15 Sprint PCS Wireless Web 15You may notice that sometimes the MiniBrowser will launch without placing a call. This is because the phone stores recently viewed pages in its memory cache. The MiniBrowser will connect automatically when you access a page that's not stored in the cache.If the phone has been inactive for awhile and a new wireless Internet site has not been requested, the MiniBrowser will automatically disconnect. The MiniBrowser will remain active – only the connection will end. The MiniBrowser will automatically reconnect when you go to a wireless Internet site that's not stored in the phone's memory cache. For this reason, you may find that you are billed for several network connections within a single session. This is normal and is designed to minimize airtime charges.When launching the MiniBrowser, you may need to take an extra step or see a reminder that MiniBrowser calls will be charged. If you need to take an extra step, see “Web Guard” on page xx to disable the setting.
