Tips: Format any web page for viewing on mobile phone

There are a lot of websites which are not optimized for viewing them on mobile phones.

These web sites/pages can be reformatted for viewing them on your mobile phone.

Go to Google Mobile Search web page and click on settings. In the settings screen, choose the "Yes" for the option which says "Format web pages for your phone".

After having done this, in Google Mobile Search (http://mobile.google.com/search) give the URL(web address) as the search string.

If the URL (of the web page which you need to be reformatted) is valid (i.e. if the webpage exists) then it should appear as the first search result.

Now, opening the URL from the first search result will open up the reformatted web page. Great isn't it!!

The way it is done is that Google automatically reformats the web page for viewing on mobile phone. Thanks to Google!!
