Do I need a GPRS or 3G mobile phone to access the mobile web site?

Yes. The majority of mobile phones are now GPRS capable (also known as 2.5G) and 3G. This means that you are connected to a high-speed data service which enables you to access mobile web sites. Your mobile operator will charge you GPRS mobile internet browsing charges of around 1p per mobile web page. You can also access the mobile web site with (generally older) GSM 2G phones, but the charges to access the site will be higher than with GPRS as your mobile operator will charge you by the minute to browse according to your normal tariff rates. You can generally confirm whether your mobile phone is GPRS, GSM or 3G capable by checking the web site of your mobile operator, or calling their customer support.
