Finding the "Go to URL" Function
On Your Cell Phone
Your cell phone web browser is similar to the web browser that you use
everyday on your computer. It has the capability to follow hyperlinks
from a home page, and to go directly to a website address ("URL") that you
type in. You can also bookmark pages, so that you can easily get to
them again. (Bookmarks are sometimes called "Favorites")
The exact steps to take and buttons to push to do this will vary by cell phone
service provider (Sprint, Verizon, Nextel, etc.) and by handset make and
model (Nokia 3650, Samsung SGH-E316, Sanyo SCP-400, etc.)
For example, click here for a diagram illustrating how to use the "Go To URL" and
Bookmark functions on a Motorola V551 with service from
AT&T (Cingular).
You may need to contact your cell phone company for details on how to
operate your cell phone browser. Most cellular carriers have tutorials
on their websites. For example,
Sprint has a web page with
links to their tutorials. You will want to look for a tutorial
that covers "Web Browsing", "Wireless Data Services", "Wireless Web Access",
or similar.
Below are some general steps that you can follow to access the "Go To
URL" function on your cell phone. The steps are listed by carrier.
The step descriptions are very generic, and the exact keypad buttons to push
to perform these steps will vary from cell phone to cell phone.
