Mobile Services from BA
Apart from the ba.com website, which of course you can now get to over Wi-Fi at their lounges (for free !!), they also provide a summarised version for Vodafone Live! subscribers on your mobile phone (it's WAP really but don't tell anyone), and they've now got the SMS Flight Tracker service (which I've already said is soooo helpful, in particular for avoiding the hideous airport carparking charges).
Finally they have realised that some of us travel with technologies that keep us in touch !
What next ??? ... maybe one day they'll let me check-in online and use my mobile phone as my boarding pass ! @:-)

...actually its one step forward after 2 steps back.
About 3 years ago there was permanent BA WAP site at wap.ba.com and corresponding support pages online. You could check arrivals/departures, seat availability AND you could do a WAP version of OLCI (WCI?
)... it was slow and a bit crap (like all WAP things) but it worked.
It was simplified without trace or announcement about 2 years ago.

there is a pda formatted site at BA Mobile Site none of the links work though..!
Shame really, BA are missing a trick here, it would be good if us pda users could get to the Vodaphone Live site from our toys..
