Email is perhaps the easiest way to post by phone to Wordpress. Create a unique email address that is used only for this purpose--to drive posts directly to your Wordpress blog. After doing so, log in to Wordpress and go to the writing options panel and input the correct mail server and port number of your new email account (this information is usually located in "account" or "settings" tab within your email account). When the information has been filled out, enter the login name (complete email address) and password for your new email account. Send a test email to the new email account--it should be posted to the blog immediately.

Use the Wordpress mobile phone client. Various web developers have engineered plugins and clients, which are similar to software that you install on your computer. These "mini software" that are specifically for mobile phones are installed on your phone and takes care of the coding so you can focus on your writing instead of the methods to get it posted online. Some clients are more intuitive and easier to use than others, so test drive a few ones to see which one you prefer.

Tips & Warnings
It may require research before you decide which mobile plugin is compatible for your phone and suited to your purposes. For example, if you use an iPhone, it may be a lot easier to find mobile plugin clients to use for blogging as opposed to cell phones that are not Smartphones.
