To access Gmail Mobile, users have to visit http://m.gmail.com through the web browser on their mobile phone and sign in to their Gmail account as they would on the web.

Because every mobile device is different, Gmail Mobile automatically optimises the interface based on the phone. Users can also view attached photos and documents from their phone, and reply-by-call to people whose phone number is stored in their Gmail
account. Gmail messages are automatically synchronised, regardless of whether Gmail is accessed from Gmail Mobile or the web.

Gmail Mobile is currently available free for mobile phone users in India.

The service works with most web-enabled mobile phones, but users should check with their carriers on their data service plan to determine if there are additional charges for web access.
