On my Siemens M55, Fido (microcell) network, I am unable to display the bbc
news wap page

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_news/

Yet, I called Fido this morning and their tech supposedly has no problem
getting the page to display with the Siemens M55.

I get a HTTP Errror 406 Not Acceptable

And I now also get this for the CBC web site

http://www.cbc.ca/wap/ and then select any item except sports and regional.
(for instance: http://www.cbc.ca/wap/lineup/?lineup=canada

Note: I have not been able to get the BBC page to ever display. I have no
problems with the french CBC pages which work very well.

QUESTION: Is the "HTTP Error 406 Not acceptable" message issued by the phone,
or the Fido network WAP gateway when it compiles the WML into WMLC before
transit over air ?

QUESTION: is it possible that someone with the same phone on the same network
would not have a problem accessing those pages, but I would ? Or was Fido
lying when it stated that it had no problems with the page ?

Do other GSM operators provide better support for WAP users ? I am getting the
impression that Microcell's WAP gateway is a mickey mouse operation. (judging
from the http headers that are not being sent to the servers, and the fact
that it runs Squid, a freeware on Linux).
