How To Browse WAP Sites on Computer?

July 14, 2008

Its been a hectic task while it comes to browsing on mobiles, you are just limited to a set of 11 buttons to key your input. Recently I was stuck up with a problem that is I wanted to install UCWeb 5.1 English on to my mobile but all the versions did not support all the mobiles, so I had to test each and every one on my mobile. As I found most of the apps on the net did not support, the official UCWeb Forum drew my attention and said that UCWeb5.1 English version is available but only in the wap.ucweb.com, but I could not afford to try each and every app from the wap site by downloading them and paying for each and every KB. So thats were I wanted to have a wap browser on PC that can save my download costs as I am having an unlimited Internet connectivity.

Similarly many of you could also faced similar problems not in terms of download cost alone but some hesitating to use WAP just because they believe that browsing on mobile is really hectic. And here is a solution for all you guys, don’t stop yourself getting into WAP just because you hate mobile keying or cannot afford to expensive data transfer packages.

Step 1:

Download WinWAP Smartphone Browser Emulator from the Download Link below http://download.winwap.com/public/winwap_spbe-win32.exe

Step 2:

After installing WinWAP Smartphone Browser Emulator. Run the application,which looks very similar to your mobile screen and type your custom wap site and browse on..

And those who can afford to have a premium version of the WINWAP click here. The only problem with the freeware version that I found was the operation, its just the same as on the mobile with the number keys.

Its really simple, easy and cost effective to browse the WAP contents on PC.

UPDATE : http://ready.mobi/launch.jsp?locale=en_EN allows you to browse WAP through an internet browser rather than downloading an application. Thanks to Dave
