BBC News on your mobile
The mobile site works on a range of devices and screen sizes
BBC News is available on your mobile. Simply visit www.bbc.co.uk/news
The site is designed to work on a range of mobile devices and
screen sizes, whether your phone is a touchscreen one or whether you
use a keypad or trackball. When you browse the mobile site, what you see will be tailored to the device you have in your hand, for example the way you move around the news sections and the number of images you see.
The mobile site offers a largerange
We've made it easy for you to skim through the news headlines
and summaries so you can easily get updated on the stories of the day.
Features and analysis stories are showcased throughout the
site and we are displaying the Most Read articles, so that you can see
what stories are popular right now.
The site offers coverage of live news stories for all mobile
users, giving you an easy way to access quick updates around a major
news story. The live page format offers short-form updates related to
big stories as they unfold, for example on stories like the Budget and
global news events.
The mobile site also offers in-story video clips for iPhone
and Android users, giving you the same content that you've already been
able to view on the desktop site or BBC News apps.
We're aiming to offer a fast, easy browsing experience whatever type of device you are using.
However, as your mobile device becomes more capable we can
deliver enhanced services. For example, the video is available on
iPhones and iPod touches with iOS 5.0 and above, and on Android devices
with OS 2.2 and above. We hope to extend our video service to other
platforms in the future, where there is a reasonable level of demand and
where we can offer value for money for licence fee payers.
We have been working hard to optimise BBC News for your
device and we are continually making improvements. However, if you
prefer to view the desktop version of the site on your mobile this is
possible. Simply scroll down to the bottom of the mobile site and look
for the link to "Desktop site". Similarly, if you are on the desktop
site and want to view the mobile version, you can find a link to "mobile
site" at the very bottom of the page.
If you are not sure whether you can access the internet on your device, check with your mobile network provider.
Depending on the contract you have, certain costs for
accessing the internet on your phone - usually referred to as data
charges - may apply.
If you are not sure about the potential charges for accessing
the internet on your phone, please ask your mobile network provider.
You may find some costs are included in your existing price plan or that
you can opt for a 'data package' monthly fee that gives reduced charges
for accessing the internet
The BBC does not charge you to access mobile content.
BBC News apps: iPhone, iPad and Android
The BBC News app is now available for Android smartphones and tablets, as well as for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
The app is free to download. Go to Google Play or the Apple app store to download the official BBC News app.
Get the latest and breaking news from the BBC and our global network of journalists.
Stories are arranged in categories including top stories, UK,
world, politics, business, technology, health, entertainment & arts
and sport.
The app offers stories and video, and you can personalise the
homescreen by adding and removing news categories to suit your
interests.
Blackberry Apps
We have developed a series of launcher apps for Blackberry
phones to give you quick access to BBC News on Blackberry smartphones 5
and above.
As some BlackBerry connections are routed overseas,
BlackBerry users occasionally have problems accessing BBC content that
is only available inside the UK. The application will also help to stop
this from happening and make sure that, if you're in the UK, you can
access everything that you ought to be able to access.
These apps are available via Blackberry App World.
