You have replied to what is now a somewhat old and inactive thread.  If you
want to chat with hector it maybe best to start a new conversation in:

    Conference #121 - wcListServe WIN Server

Addressing your points/questions:

-> I am interested in learning the language that mobile phone aps are
written in.

The wikipedia article referenced below provides a concise summary of the
most common development environments.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_application_development

-> My IP's carry the website and cannot be reached by telephone, so I don't
get calls on the Navigator.

This is now the situation for most sysops.  However as wcNavigator runs
well via TCP/IP and many sysops still have customers connecting over the
Internet using Navigator for either general BBS access and/or to play the
wcCasino games.

-> Another question is: can a mobile application be written in WCBasic?

You can use wcBASIC/WCT to aid in the creation of a Mobile Friendly
website, but not as a development language on a Mobile device OS.
