Hi,

sometimes I post into this forum from my P800 but dont see this msg - do you guys just check for IP adresses from UK? Maybe you should go check for the remote user agent identifier instead to include this msg...

Why would the Esato system know that you're posting from a P800 if you're using a standard TCP/IP session via a dialup ISP and CSD or HSCSD?

not sure if it's done by this method here but the browser identifies itself as Opera running on a P800 so you can use this information to display a message ...

any tool evaluating environment variables can detect this - for example in PHP you do:

$mobile_phone = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
echo $mobile_phone;
