Caching on handsets

In short

To prevent caching across all carriers and xhtml handsets, use a combination of meta tags and http headers.

Meta tags

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-store" />

http headers

Cache-Control:no-cache
Pragma:no-cache
