Many of you have asked questions on WAP Settings for the SL55. nickp has done a great job putting together a detailed guide on them. If you are not a T Mobile subcriber just replace the settings with your own providers.

NOTE - Make certain that you input everything as shown. I had the toughest time figuring out why I was getting an "Invalid GPRS Profile" message whenever I tried accessing the web. It ended up that I had an extra "space" after the APN setting. Strangest thing............

BTW, my SL55 is running version 9 firmware and I am in the Milwaukee, WI market, but travel the US.

( NOTE - For this message, whenever I refer to the END/POWER button, I am talking about the physical button used to turm the phone on/off or end calls. )
