"Mobile Web" Question

Can someone tell me a little bit about the "mobile web" option? How do you
know which web sites are compatible with this option (I was told they are
not all compatible). Also, how is this option billed? I currently have the
$34.99 300 anytime, unlimited nights/weekends (aka the original America's
Choice).
Thanks for any info.

You'll pay an additional 4.99 for mobile web. Mobil web use is billed
normally against your minutes. If you have free nights and weekends, mobile
web is free then too.

The problem is the small screen and limited memory. Only simple or mobile
phone designed website work worth a darn. Frames are not supported.
However the phone lets you choose what frame you want to display (hidden,
sub or main, etc).

I have a LG VX4400 setup for free mobile web access (only uses minutes
during peak times). I do not have the $4.99 VZW mobile web service.
The sites which can be accessed are WAP sites and primarily text. There are
some that have limited graphics.
Check out http://www.waptunnel.com/. There is a link there to the
waptunnel discussion forum, where you can get information about using this
on many different phones.

Also check out mobileweb4u.com

There is a minimal fee for use, but it's more reliable than waptunnell and
supports WAP 2.0 as well.

My friend just signed up for the AC plan (450 min / $39.99) and no optional
services (i.e. no mobile web or text messaging), using an LG 4650. What
would happen if she were to intentionally or accidentally launch the
browser - will she be paying on a pay-as-you-go basis. If so, at what rate?

The browser just can't browse (at least on my Kyocera 2325). It says
"Security is not enabled", asks to do it, tries, and then asks if you
want to enable MobileWeb for $5/month.

I tried her phone to see what would happen and the browser launched and
connected. She has Mobile Web 2.0 - don't know if that matters or not.
After disconnecting, the phone displayed a summary page containing the
number of web minutes used. So, I am guessing that it just uses her plan
minutes. But, that's what I'm trying to confirm.
