Ah yes, got it now, you have to press menu then "ACCEPT" on my phone.
I see it also interprets the METAR/TAF for you. The thing has sideways
scrolling of text (such as the date and time) if you're on the right line.
Quite
nice, but it is slightly more time consuming with a few more button presses.
Downward scrolling is ok on mine, maybe you just hit it during slow times
and it takes a while to load the page? Well, just a thought!

I don't know about individual handsets, but on my Siemens M50 after you
enter in the ident you select DONE using one of the menu buttons on the
screen. Then another appears that says GO. When you hit that it starts
loading. It's a bit slow and on my phone there is a glitch (or maybe a
pretty clever feature to keep the back lighting on - I haven't decided
yet) which stops you scrolling after a few lines. You have to keep
pressing the scroll down key repeatedly for the page to feed.

I'd say that all handsets have some menu prompt with a corresponding
handset key underneath it that will send the data.

That wapmx site is pretty good and loads a lot faster that cupitt.

Can't get Cupitt to work properly. Once I've typed in the
identifier for the airport, you don't seem to be able to do
anything else. At least on my Ericsson R520.

The sunplan one just gives me Error 404.

I use http://www.wapmx.com for wap TAFs and METARs.
Wap is useful not just at the field, but from anywhere where
you can't get to an internet connection...or where you can but
it would be too laborious to boot up a PC.
