Unordered List Icons Won't Appear

Hello, I'm having an issue getting the list icons to show up. I've reviewed my code several times, but I can't seem to find me error. My images are in the correct 'img' directory

HTML: 

      <section>
        <h3>General Information</h3>
        <p>I am not currently looking for new design work, but I am available for speaking gigs and similar engagements. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!</p>
        <p>Please only use phone contact for urgent inquiries. Otherwise, Twitter and email are the best way to reach me.</p>
      </section>
      <section>
        <h3>Contact Details</h3>
        <ul class="contact-info">
          <li class="phone"><a href="tel:308-325-2329">308-325-2329</a></li>
          <li class="mail"><a href="mailto:joshmyers92@gmail.com">joshmyers92@gmail.com</a></li>
          <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name=joshmyers92">@joshmyers92</a></li>
          </ul>
      </section>

CSS: 

/*****************************
PAGE: CONTACT
******************************/

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;  
}

.contact-info a {
  display:block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px; 
}

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

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

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

[MOD: edited code blocks. sh]

I've actually discovered that none of the CSS changes I'm making are updating. For example, the list-style rule doesn't work either.

Weird, you already try it changing the directory of your images?

Do you always save your changes before refreshing your browser?

In Nick's code, he is targeting the a (anchor) element and you are targeting the li with class of phone. You need to add an 'a' after .contact-info li.phone.

It should look like this:

.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');
}

I've tested the code of Josh and that works for me, maybe he's not saving his file.
