On my bill I have some listings for "INTERNET" and some listings for "WAP".

Could anyone tell me what the difference is?

WAP is wireless access point.

Your phone has connected to the internet at some point,

I know what WAP is. I would like to know what the difference is between the charges for "INTERNET" and the charges for "WAP" on my Vodafone bill.

not sure, but if you've got a 3g phone, there are 2 different ways of connecting, via GPRS and via 3G dpending on your coverage. GPRS can go thrpugh normal mobile signal, 3G is faster but requires 3G coverage to work.
This might be the difference, but it might not.

just to clear up any confusion, WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol and is nothing to do with access points. It generally refers to sites that render specifically for mobile devices.

forgot to add...
essentially, some wireless access calls are a set fee to browse and may cost a certain amount per session (the WAP on your bill), whereas some calls are charged on a 'information downloaded' basis (the INTERNET charges on your bill).

Thanks Jenky. Both WAP and INTERNET are charged per kilobyte by Vodafone, so you wonder why they make the distinction on the bill.
