How do I access the site from my mobile phone.

Please note the mobile phone access is currently being developed, so there are only a few limited features so far. To access the site from you mobile phone you need to do the following:-

1. Note down your numeric user id : 0.
2. Goto My account > edit > WAP Access.
3. Choose a numeric Pass ID.
4. Tick Enabled then Submit.
5. You can now goto http://wap.playlocal.co.uk from you mobile phone.

I would recommend you check with your mobile phone provider as to the cost of using the WAP service. This site does not charge anything for use, so it is only the cost of the service from the mobile phone provider.
