First off, is your page written in HTML or WML. If it is written in
HTML, does your mobile browser support HTML. If not, time to learn
WML. If you have written it in WML, then have you modified your
registry so your web server knows what to do with the WML pages. It is
just two or three keys that need to be added, I believe it is the same
for all web servers, but I don't have access to it at the moment.
Respond that you need it, or e-mail me and I will forward it to you.

Failing that, get a WAP emulator and try and access the page using it.
Most WAP emulators will provide you with a reasonably detailed error
description. Even though I had a WAP phone when I started writing WAP
pages 4 years ago, I tested my code using the emulator for that reason
only.

Good luck

Now I can access the site from phone. This was a newly registered
site, probably it took time for TMobile DNS servers to update their
database.(??)
Thanks for the reply John.
