Disadvantages of Mobile Internet

• Small screen size – This makes it difficult or impossible to see text and graphics dependent on the standard size of a desktop computer screen.

• Speed – On most mobile devices, the speed of service is very slow, often slower than dial-up Internet access.

• Incompatibility - Some websites, especially those with many pages and that run different scripts, may not load successfully on a mobile device. Mobile Internet doesn't support all complex scripts available for Web browsing.

• Lack of Security - Mobile phones don't offer the same level of privacy as computers. Although some websites take precautions to establish secure connections, unsafe websites still proliferate, which can gather sensitive information stored on mobile phones.
