HAHAHA!!! I thought I was selecting the happy face for the post! That's what I get for posting from a phone. Anyway, I am very happy to have figured out how to do this. My WAP browser will not display the boards, but if I search them through Google and follow the link, Google translates the regular HTML to a WAP readable format. Then just make sure you follow any "Continue" buttons shown to you instead of just page forwards and you can post!!! There will be some pages where you do pick page forward while it goes through the smilies.
We have MetroPCS and it is pretty much included in our deal. It is one of their unlimited everything plans for something like $45/mo. We would not have it if we were paying a lot extra for it.
I just switched to Verizon this weekend and I bought a phone that has a web browser so if I'm ever completely desperate to get on the DIS I have a way to get on...although DH would very likely shoot me if I ever did it on vacation since I spend too much time on the computer as it is!! But I know I'll have to try it at least once just to see how it works!!
