Help Contents for "Internet-Ready" phones
InstantBroker on an internet-ready cellular phone allows non-Fidelity customers the ability to obtain delayed market information and allows Fidelity customers to receive real-time market information, access to account information, as well as, place eligible trades.
This allows the user to receive quote information on a domestically traded security. There are two versions of the quote services available based on whether you are a Fidelity customer. Fidelity customers can choose between real-time or delayed quote information, while other users access delayed quote information only.
