Most of the communication between a mobile phone and the Internet can happen only if your handset supports a technology standard called WAP, short for 'wireless access protocol'.

Also, you will have to check with your phone company whether your subscription covers the cost to connect to the Internet by using WAP.

Rediff Mobile is rediff.com's centre for WAP phone users. Here they can use their mobile phones to pick up news and other information.

But as far as communication goes, Rediff Mobile allows you to send and receive email from your Rediffmail account.
