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

[Duncan Clubb]

It's not exactly strightforward, but I got the following from BT:


Please find the following temporary fix to allow you to access different

sites from your Motorola Timeport.


Load the Genie site

Select BT Internet

Select Search

Select WML search engine

Type the letters URL

Select Search

Select Wapgata jump point

Type in the URL you want (do not add the http://)

Press OK

Scroll down to and Select Goto URL

Scroll down and Select the URL again then press Link.


Now, how come you couldn't work that one out for yourself?
