How To: The first steps to get a game.
Make sure that you have selected the right game for your phone. Please ensure that the information on the top right of the screen in the settings page is correct. If not, click the settings link to select the correct phone. Your phone must be WAP enabled, so please make sure that you've verified your phone's wireless downloading capabilities with your carrier. We also want to remind you that when you purchase a game, you are purchasing one download only. Once the game has been downloaded, it is stored in your phone's memory and can be played at any time.
Please note that you must pay an additional cost for your navigation service as well. This cost may vary from carrier to carrier.

After you have selected your phone model from the list, you will be directed to the game catalog. You can then view additional information about each game (game genre, storyline, required memory space, etc.) by selecting games individually.
Once you have chosen the game you wish to download, you can pay for it by SMS, credit card, PayPal, or directly from your carrier.
After you've paid for the game, you will receive an SMS with a link for the download. If you need further assistance with the download, check the download page for your particular game.

If your phone doesn't appear on Gameloft's site, it is not supported. Picking an alternate phone, even if the model numbers are similar, will not work. Before adding a phone, we perform various tests to make sure that we can maintain the quality that gamers expect from Gameloft.
However, we regularly add new phones to our website. If your phone isn't listed on the site, please check back regularly. If it's a popular phone, it's likely we will add it as soon as we can.

When installing games on certain Motorola phones, a message may appear saying that the application may have limited functionality. This is a default message that always appears when installing games to these phones. Because it's a message displayed by the phone itself, we have no control over it. However, before being sold, all of our games are fully tested to conform to our high quality standards, despite any messages that may appear. Therefore, what you receive is the full game, certified to work on your phone.

If you get an error message such as "connection timed out", "unable to connect to server", or "subscribe to GPRS first", this would likely indicate that your phone is not correctly configured to access the mobile internet (WAP). The exact configuration can vary by your model of phone, your type of service, and your carrier. Therefore, please contact your carrier to find the correct configuration required for your phone.
