The Vistua Network offers editions of its site suited to mobile devices such as cell-phones, PDAs, Blackberries and smartphones.
The read-only mobile sites feature layouts and designs suitable for handsets with their limited processing power, small screens and slow connections. Good handset support is virtually universal.
The mobile site is generated directly from the content files of the actual vistua.com pages, the operation to produce the mobile content occurs on the server when a mobile browser requests a page, this means that
www.vistua.com in your mobile browser.


As you can see in the picture, there are two very different looking versions of the mobile site a simple one an a 'touch' one (touchscreen not actually required)
The server will not send the touch screen version to any featurephone, PocketPC or Blackberry with a touchscreen as these devices typically do not have good enough browsers to handle the touch site. If would like to try anyway, you can switch to the touch edition by following the instructions below.
Service of the mobile site is automatic, our server detects that you have a mobile browser and sends mobile formatted pages instead of regularly formatted pages. Nevertheless, on the bottom of both the simple and touch mobile sites there are links to switch to the other versions in case we got it wrong.

If you want to switch to the mobile or touch browsers from the standard desktop site you must use the Page Control Panel.
Thanks to the fine folks at Opera Software, makers of the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers, you can view our mobile site in a Java-applet based simulation of their browsers! (Java required.)
Text only browser users may find that our simple mobile site is more suitably formatted for their browsers and can override the server's default behavior to show the mobile version at the Page Control Panel
It is possible to access Groupware Applications in your mobile browser! Just follow the links on the mobile homepage. Or, proceed directly to mail.vistua.com, calendar.vistua.com, etc.
If you have an Android Smartphone, Blackberry or iPhone you may find it more convenient to download apps or configure your phone's native applications to work with our services. Please follow one of those links to see your options. Native apps and downloadable applications offer many additional features not offered by the web interface, for example Blackberries and Android phones can sync their contact-lists against groupware.
Windows Mobile 6 phones and PocketPCs may be configured with Activesync for contacts and calendar and IMAP for email with our services. Please consult administration for further instructions.
The Vistua Network Organization & Groupware vendor do not charge for access to the mobile site, the mobile groupware sites or the Groupware through native or downloaded applications. Your carrier, however, will charge you for data. If you do not have a data plan these charges could be very high. We recommend that you get a data plan.
Please note: unlike the groupware mobile sites, the native or downloaded applications run in the background and may use the data connection to automatically check for new mail, contacts, calendar items, etc. If you pay-as-you-go for data service you could incur fees from your carrier even if you are not doing anything. We cannot predict how much data the apps will need. An unlimited or high-limit data plan is suggested if you use said apps, if you wish to maintain pay-as-you-go data billing or only want to check your email once in a while, we recommend you use the mobile groupware sites instead.
On some carriers, each email message that comes in or goes out through the phone's native messaging app is billed individually, on most carriers at the same rate as domestic text messages. Check your carrier's brochures/website for more information. Most carriers offer messaging "bundles" that significantly reduce this cost.
