That's good to hear.  It would be helpful if when visiting on desktop
(the original report,
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48856, is about desktop
search), it did not mention "mobile carriers", "data charges", and such.
 Perhaps it could even redirect silently.

If that's not feasible for now, perhaps the message could be a bit more
general so it reads better on desktop.
