How do WAP Phones Connect To A WAP site?
Each WAP phone needs to connect to what is known as a WAP gateway. These are computer boxes that act as the doorway between you and the Internet. Usually, your mobile phone company will have a gateway, but other companies are coming with their own ones, we have a list of WAP gateways on this web site for you to try out. Some mobile phone companies will only let you visit sites that they approve of, which is why independent gateways are a good idea. But back to technicalities… when you visit a WAP site, your phone sends a request to the WAP gateway. That then sends a request to the WAP site for the page you want to view, when the WAP gateway has a copy of the page, it compresses it and sends it back to your phone, where it is expanded and displayed. As with the normal Internet, the speed is often down to how busy the site is, and how busy the Internet is in general. The gateways also vary in how good they are at compressing a page. As some phones might reject a WAP page that is getting close to the size limit, you can sometimes end up with the odd situation that a page will work on one gateway or phone, but not on another.
