1. Welcome to Mobile Web
This quick convenient guide will answer many questions you may have about setting up your Sony Ericsson GC 75/79/89 PC card.

What will I need for Mobile web?
When you purchased your new PC card it contained all of the following Items

• 1 Sony Ericsson GC 75, GC 79 or GC 89 PC card
• 1 user manual in English
• 1 installation CD

You would also need:

• 1 PC or a laptop complete with a 32 bit type II PC Card slot. Your PC card will work with any computer running Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000 (SP2) or XP.
• 1 Active, GRPS ready Digicel SIM card (prepaid or postpaid).

Your Digicel SIM should already come provisioned for GPRS, however if you need to activate your service on your own, send a text message with “WAP” to 4000. Your GPRS settings will be returned to you shortly.
