Most of today's mobile phones come with a built in WAP browser, which allows you to access dedicated WAP pages while on the move. WAP gives you text-based information from the web in a format that is quick to download and easy for a mobile screen to display. However, this system will only allow you to browse dedicated WAP content, and not standard Internet web pages.
The advantage of WAP is that real-time information from the Internet, like news or football scores, can be read on the move from mobile devices rather than a desktop computer.
WAP is available in two ways: GSM and GPRS.
