Hello,
These questions are best answered by your phone service provider since they will have information specific to what infrastructure is being used on the client-side for
the connectivity to the web server.
Here is an MSDN article which provides information regarding the overall architecture in use. It is a bit outdated and talks about the Beta Release of the Microsoft
Mobile WebForm Development Tools, but the principles explained are still relevant:

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

| Sachin,
|
| Can you point to more information about this communication gateway?
|
| Let's say I have mobile web site running on IIS and I have a web-enabled
| cell phone from Verizon.
|
| a) What should I practically do to enable connection?
| b) What kind of gateway is required?
| c) Where it needs to be located?
|
| Thanks,
