The U2tours.com WAP access site is designed primarily for phones that use the UP.Browser and are WML compatible. If your phone uses a different technology -- but supports WML to some extent -- you should be able to use our site anyway; however, the appearance may be somewhat different from the images you see in this tutorial. Likewise, due to the great variety in how web-ready phones are developed around the world, your phone may produce an experience that is somewhat different than what is shown below. If your phone is not supported please Email wireless@u2tours.com with the make and model number of your phone and your wireless carrier and we will investigate supporting your phone.

1. Getting Started: Most cellular providers that offer Internet service also offer a web-based administration utility on their web site that makes configuration of new sites easy. Others will have to enter the URL of the site directly into their phone and then bookmark it (if your service supports that). Using one of these methods enter

http://www.u2tours.com/wap/

as the URL to access. Note that most phones do not require the http:// but a few do so we mention it anyway.

2. Main Menu: When you first enter our WAP site you should see a screen something like this:

You have four options:

1. Search Concerts allows you to search U2's entire history of concerts, everything available in the U2tours.com database from 1976 to now.

2. Upcoming Concerts shows you a list of, duh, upcoming concerts.

3. Current Tour lets you browse through all the shows on the current tour. If U2 is not touring, "current tour" might equate to their most recent tour or the next tour (if it's been announced).

4. News lets you browse and read the tour-related news items on U2tours.com.

Navigate by pressing the menu option number or scrolling up or down with your navigation keys and pressing the accept button (usually directly below the view screen).

2a. Search Concerts: When you enter this area, you will be able to narrow your search in any of three ways - by City, by Year, and by Month. (see photos below) In each case, just type in the search parameters you want to use and move on to the next step. You can see all concerts in Las Vegas, for example, by typing "Las Vegas" at the City screen and leaving the next two screens blank. You can see all 2001 concerts by typing "2001" at the Year screen and leaving the other two blank.

Depending on your search parameters, you'll get an appropriate list of matching concerts. Using our first example, if you search ro find all concerts U2 has played in Las Vegas, you'll see a list of matching shows. (photo far left below) From there, press the appropriate menu option number or use your navigation keys to select the concert you want. That will take you to the detail page for this concert. The detail page (middle and right photos below) includes all details about the concert from the U2tours.com database, including date, time, venue, city, opening act, setlist, and comments about the show (if any).

2b. Upcoming Concerts: This option from the main menu displays a list of all of U2's upcoming concerts. It's the fastest and easiest way to see what's ahead for U2! When we created the images for this tutorial, U2 only had two performances on its calendar. If it were the middle of a tour, you would see a full screen of upcoming concerts. At this screen, press the appropriate menu option number or use your navigation keys to select the concert you want. That will take you to the detail page for the concert you chose.
2c. Current Tour: This option from the main menu lists all shows on U2's current tour, both shows they've already played and shows still to come. You can browse through this list chronologically, with the oldest shows appearing first. At this screen, press the appropriate menu option number or use your navigation keys to select the concert you want. That will take you to the detail page for the concert you chose.
2d. News: This option from the main menu lists all of the tour-related news currently in the U2tours.com News database. You can browse through this list chronologically, with the most recent headlines appearing first. At this screen, press the appropriate menu option number or use your navigation keys to select the news story you want. That will take you to the detail page for the headline you chose, where you'll be able to read the text of that story. Due to the length of most stories, you'll probably need to click a MORE link several times to read the full article.

3. Navigation. Throughout the site we have tried to use consistent navigation concepts. Generally, the last item in a menu will be labeled "Menu" and will take you back to the main menu screen. If more information is available you will see a link labeled "More" near the bottom of the screen -- this is particularly relevant to the news stories. If there is detailed information about an item you selected you should see a link and/or button labeled "Details". If you select "Details" you will see one or more screens of detailed text about the item.
