hi all,

silly newb question, but i couldn't quite figure out how to enter a url into the browser. do i need to go into proxy settings and such? do i need to get onto a wap (ie wap.google.com) or something? i'm primarily interested in downloading/uploading ringtones onto my phone.

i've got an audiovox 8600 and i'm on bell mobility.

thanks for the time.

ps. is there perhaps a FAQ that might point me in the right direction instead of asking the forum?

I'm on Verizon and using free WAP (not Verizon's Mobile Web plan). After opening the browser, I press the "Up" key to put the focus on the"Menu" button, then I press "OK". At that point, I'm in the browser menu, and one of the options is "Go to URL." I select that option, key in the URL, and press "OK" again.

You got that right! I guess that's why sites like tagtag.com that let you create pages with all the links you normally use are so popular.

With Bell Mobility, the phone does not seem to have a "Go to URL" option...

I'm with bell mobility and I have to go to the myfinder/directories link - then go to number 5 or the Go To Web link.
