Web Browsing without VZW

When I had 1X enabled on my (national single rate) plan a month ago, I
realized I almost never use the Mobile Web feature, and had it removed
from my plan (saving $7 a month).

My phone (moto T720c), when hooked up to my laptop (PowerBook), works
great with 1X, works great with *777, works great with dialing any of
my ISPs, and minutes just come out of my plan minutes.

Of course, the browser built into the phone doesn't work anymore (which
is what I expected when I had Mobile Web turned off).

I seem to remember reading here eons ago that I could still use the
browser in the phone, if I pointed it to another wap gateway (or
something like that).

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Can I setup my T720c internal browser
to connect me to the internet without having VZW Mobile Web?

Thanks for any help!

There are several free WAP gateways - waptunnel is one of the more
popular ones.  

IP 207.232.99.109
Port 9201

Check the waptunnel Web site for other port numbers you can use.

Sorry I'm a bit green here, but what exactly is the upshot of this and how
does one go about getting it working? I have an LG VX 6000, if that makes a
difference.

Thanks..

Thanks! I added waptunnel to the phone, and it seems to work.

I have been less than successful at locating useful WAP sites (not
tunnels, but sites). Like reverse phone number, airline schedules, etc.

Infospace has a reverse lookup for WAP use.  Try
http://phone.infospace.com/phone.att/index_find.hdml

I don't know if this site requires server storage (e.g. cookies).  If it
does, a free WAP gateway might not work.  Give it a try.

For the others who asked, I don't know how to set up WAP connections on
those other phones, only my v60i.

I've been trying to set this up but keep getting a message saying "internet
not enabled."  Anyone know how to change this on an LG VX 10 phone?
