Mobile users of billso.com can view the site on a wide variety of mobile devices, including T-Mobile Sidekick, Windows Mobile, Palm, iPhones, PDAs and other mobile phones.
Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users get the regular version of the site. They do not see the mobile site. A web clip icon is also installed if the site is placed on a home screen.
Redirection services are based on Alex King’s Word Press Mobile plugin, which detects the user’s browser and operating system, and then decides whether to serve the full desktop version or a smaller mobile version of billso.com
The mobile site should resolve cleanly, so that the content is at the top of the mobile page. Sidebar content, including the search and calendar features, are not available for mobile users.
The following web addresses redirect to billso.com:
- m.billso.com
- mobi.billso.com
- mobile.billso.com
- billso.mobi
Users who have specific questions or comments about the site’s mobile support can contact us by email. See the Facebook badge on this page for the address.
