Default Weather Info via a web cell phone

As a followup question, I've been trying to find a way to enter a flight
plan via cell phone. I have access to a host web site where I can run
a cgi program and I was able to create a page that would invoke a
script to run a telnet duats session, but when I try to use it from
the cell phone, I get "Forbidden". I'm guessing that there's some
problem in running cgi scripts from the cell phone browser. All this
techno-babble aside, does anyone know a way to enter a flight plan
via cell phone (other than waiting 30 minutes to talk to FSS)? I
can do it via www.duats.com, but it's pretty painful. I cell phone
interface to the telnet duats would be ideal, but I don't think
these cell phones can do telnet.


Didn't there used to be a way to just call in a flight plan and
leave it on a recording? I did that once or twice some years
ago and have forgotten about till now. Seems like that would
be the best bet. You basically read it off as it appears on
the flight plan form.
