More about Data Services

Both WEB and WAP browsing are facilitated. In simple terms

·          WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) Browsing
 
Browsing via WAP allows access to “web like” sites that were specially designed to be viewed on micro browsers e.g. those found on mobile phones. These pages are usually associated with the name WAP somewhere in the address.
·         
WEB Browsing
 
This access allows users to view internet websites on the World Wide Web e.g. http://www.digiceljamaica.com . You can browse from your mobile phone or from your computer using a data modem.

 

 Data Modems

 A data card or USB Modem is required in order to browse using a laptop. Digicel USB modems can be purchased at a participating Digicel Store near you.
