Extracting WAP settings directly from your BlackBerry
------------------------------------------------------

If you operating settings are not listed above you can try to extract your WAP settings directly fro the device

1. From your BlackBerry's home screen, select the Options application.
2. Highlight the entry for Service Book and open it by clicking the trackwheel.
3. If there is an entry labelled "WAP Transport", highlight the entry, click the trackwheel, and select View. If there is no "WAP Transport" entry, you will need to contact your mobile operator to obtain your WAP settings.
4. Click the trackwheel and select Show HRT.
5. Click the trackwheel and select View.
6. If your device uses GPRS, there should be a line beginning with "APN:". The remaining text on that line is your GPRS APN that you will need to enter in WebViewer.
7. Obtain your WAP gateway IP address and port from the "IP/Ports:" entry. The WAP gateway IP address is composed of everything before the first colon (":"). The WAP gateway port is the number following the first colon. For example, if the "IP/Ports:" entry is "10.250.250.250:9201:8205", then your WAP gateway IP address is 10.250.250.250, and your WAP gateway port is 9201.
