RE: UKNM: desert island sites (sub branch - WAP)

[Wallace, Darren]

FYI, I think I kicked this off originally...I was using a Motorola Timeport

on BT Cellnet. I couldn't access anything outside their pre-loaded(Genie)

bookmarks.


Still can't...

I'm a bit baffled by the 'walled garden' arguments (and this isn't the first

time I've read it) as I've found it just ain't so - I've entered Loot and

Railtrack, among others,  as bookmarks on my Vode 7110 (using Vodafone's

gateway and access number) and they work fine. I rang Orange for their

settings and they told me the whole caboodle (number, gateway, homepage) and

that works fine (it's hard to see how they'd stop it - calling line id

lookup on the access server I guess, though you'd have thought their

merchants and advertisers (if any) would want the traffic). I also, for the

hell of it, accessed Vodafone's site from a public gateway.


Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong...is everybody else buying phones that

you can't change the access number and gateway on?
