Catch up on the news, and visit your favourite websites. You can use Nokia Browser to view web pages on the internet.
Nokia Browser compresses and optimises web content for your phone, so you can browse the web more quickly and save on data costs.
If Nokia Browser is not pre-loaded in your phone, download it from Nokia Store. Both WAP and HTML content is supported over standard (http) and secure (https) connections. Https connections are decrypted in a secure manner.
To browse the web, you must be connected to the internet.
For availability, pricing, and instructions, contact your network service provider. You may receive the configuration settings required for browsing as a configuration message from your network service provider.
