mobile phones- 'i' means?

[David H]

Originally, some Nokia mobiles had an i after the number, and I recently saw most other makes adding some. In a car the meaning is obvious, but on a mobile phone? None looked any different, and I could have asked in the shop, but I trust the reliability of people here more than some staff in phone shops.

I think in many cases this was to signify the presence of Internet Capability via WAP or GPRS.

Good theory Gilf, but I don't think many don't have internet any more. I'll try my local emporium if necessary, but unless you get the boss, most staff will just try and sell you an upgrade :D
