Web Services in Java ME
Eric Giguere provides a tutorial on the use of Web Services in Java ME. It's a good read as it also mentions alternatives to integrated support if not available in phones.
A quick look at j2mepolish.org shows there are not many phones that support the Web Services API in Java ME, but luckily there are the open source efforts kXML and kSOAP that can be used instead.
That said, if you use PHP or ASP on the server-side it in my opinion still makes a lot of sense to use HTTP POST if the transactions are simple. That will work with every MIDP, PHP and ASP version combination.
