Got my first mobile phone for Christmas with O2 PAYG and it gives me free access to the internet for first 30 days :D. But being new to mobiles I need your help.

Please can anybody tell me where I can find a list or dirctory of internet site addresses that can be accessed from mobile phones?

I have accessed the Home page set up on the phone OK but when I try entering in the Go To menue on the phone the web address for the sites I access on my PC it tries to load but then says file size too big. This suggests only certain WEB addresseses can be accessed from a mobile but how do you find out what they are ???

Grateful for any help.
Regards
erb :)

    It helps if you think about internet on your phone (WAP) and internet on your pc (WEB) as 2 separate things, as that's what they are. Even the websites that do work as wapsites will appear slightly different.

    If you haven't got a search engine from your homepage, then use wap.google.com (you may find you need a www. before that, but it depends on your phone!) to search for whatever you want.

    mobile.msn.com gives you access to hotmail

    start.e-messenger.net/wap is MSN messenger

    If you want to see whether a website has its own wapsite, then put wap. after the www.
