3. What is the wireless Web?
The wireless Web is a network of Internet sites that has been specially formatted to display their content and allows for browsing and navigation on mobile phones.

4. I think I already have CNNtoGO on my phone, how do I find it?
You will first need to access the wireless Web. On some phones you'll see a link marked "Web," "Internet," or "Browser" as soon as the phone is powered up. The link may also be named after your particular phone provider's service.

You may instead need to access the phone's main menu to find this link. Hint: The link is often marked by a graphic icon depicting a globe of the Earth. Contact your mobile phone service provider if you have trouble getting onto the wireless Web.

Once you're on the Web you'll likely see a menu of the different types of content available to you. Look for a link marked "News" and click on it; chances are you'll find CNN on the next menu that comes up.

5. How much will it cost me to use CNNtoGO?
This will depend on how your mobile phone service provider charges for wireless Web access. Usually you won't pay for the time you use the service but rather for the amount of data you receive, which is measured in kilobytes (KB). Some providers offer unlimited data access for a flat fee. Contact your provider for specific information on your plan.
