Icons not showing up ..

Okay, so 2 others have asked this question but none of them have a conclusive answer .. So, the problem is that none of the icons are appearing , here is my css: 

.contact-info li.phone a {
  background-image: url ('../img/phone.png');
}

.contact-info li.mail a {
  background-image: url ('../img/mail.png');
}

.contact-info li.twitter a {
  background-image: url ('../img/twitter.png');
}

The file structure is the same as that of Nick's :) I assume there is nothing wrong with the html part of the code, Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Akhil

No space between url and ( :

url ('../img/phone.png')

use it so in your css:

url('../img/phone.png')
