The WAP service is now considered to be 'out of beta' and ready for
general use, so if anyone would like to try it, the instructions are here:

Any comments or feedback appreciated. Here are some screenshots of the
service in action...

good idea guys

nice work will give it a go can i log onto my stockwatch page save having to load up all epic codes all the time ??

HT.

Sorry hightone, you have to load a new list in every time.

Remembering the list is something we might build in later, but
the WAP service is basically offered as a kind of entry level
introduction. For a more sophisticated service including charts
and news, you should really look at our mobile streaming app.

How about setting up mobile price alerts ??.

Cheers.

HT.

Hightone,

If you mean setting up alerts via the WAP service, there isn't
currently a way to do this, but several people have asked for it.

There is a way to receive alerts on your phone though, just using the
ordinary AM alerts service. Most of the network providers have an
email-to-text gateway, e.g. for Orange I think it's
@orange.co.uk

For O2 (which I'm on) I was able to set myself up as fdilke@o2.co.uk
from O2's web page.

If in doubt ask the network provider how they do it.
Armed with this, you can then use the Alerts feature to have yourself
texted next time e.g. the FTSE goes above 4000 (assuming there is a
next time...)

Hope this helps

cheers felix last time looked there it was email alerts or thats how a read it

HT.

HT,
Yes, they are email alerts. The point is, e.g. if I arrange for myself
to be email-alerted on fdilke@o2.co.uk, the end result is that a
text arrives on my phone if the alert is triggered.
We did look into setting up our own SMS mechanism, but it's quite
expensive to do so, and the above mechanism is adequate for most people.
Hope this helps

Does anybody have a Java phone (ie. MIDP-enabled) on
which they'd like to try our MIDP service?
It's midway between the WAP service and the full mobile
streaming one in terms of functionality.
Anyone interested please let me know (felix@moneyam.com),

Can't log in using an Ericsson T39m - Do I need to subscribe or is it a free service?

babhere, I will pass this onto Felix.

Still not heard from Felix. Also tried typing username and password into phones bookmark - got "http status 404" from your site. Help would be appreciated.

babhere, sorry for slow response.
It's a free service - your normal username/password should work.
Any problems please let us know,
F

Felix - Thanks for the response. It was me holding down the yes key on the phone too long and causing it to bring the menu up that was causing the problem - dah. Finally in and it looks great just what is needed when on the move. Thanks again.

babhere:

Glad you like it it -- it's simple but effective. I use it on my own T39m when I'm not using the PDA.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is it possible to have watch list set up?

Shadowfax,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a watchlist on the WAP service - this can however be done on the streaming handheld service.
