DHL Tracking wap.dhl.com/track/ DHL’s mobile global tracking site is an old fashioned WML afair (the iPhone and other devices with full-web browsers are redirected to the desktop site). While not fancy, the site is quick and gets the job done. Offered in 12 languages, the site’s sole function is tracking, enter an airbill number to view very detailed reports of the shipment’s progress.
