Getting a new game or ringtone or wallpaper for your phone should be one of the easiest things in the world. Ordering and paying for it is easy enough, just enter your mobile number, reply with ok to confirm you want it and job done. All that’s left to do now is to download your funky new tune to your phone. So how do you do it? Well, once you’ve ordered your tone, you will receive a text message from us with a link to a webpage where you can download the ringtone or game.
The message you recieve will be something similar to this:
http://wap.mobilefun.co.uk/index.wml?w=1&number=447890123456&pin=1234567
Now if you’re not that technically minded, I wouldn’t blame you if you’re a little bit confused right now and not 100% sure what to do next, but don’t worry, it’s all pretty simple. The link that you’ve received in your text message needs to be accessed from your phone and not from your PC. (If you try it from your PC you’ll get an error message that tells you to use the link on your phone.)
To view web links on your mobile phone its normally just a case of pressing a couple of buttons and the phone will do all the work for you. In most cases there is no need to type in the address that you’ve been sent – just click on the link. As each phone is different, the process for accessing web links varies quite a bit, so I’ve listed some instructions below on how to access web links on the most popular Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG and HTC phones and will add more over time.
If the link that we send does not work, you can also access your downloads as follows:
In your wap browser type wap.mobilefun.co.uk/download
Under the heading “Your Downloads” is a list of content available for you to download
Click on the link for the piece of content you wish to download i.e. “Fraggle Rock – TV Theme”
The item will begin to download to your handset
Once the download is complete you will be prompted to save the item
The item will typically be saved to a “Gallery” within your handset’s memory or memory card.
Once saved the download should display or play automatically.
If you get an error message that refers to a problem with the settings on the phone, you may need to get the Internet settings resent to your phone. It’s free and only takes a couple of minutes, and I’ve put a guide together on how to do this for you: Setting up MMS, WAP & GPRS.

NB: You may experience problems when trying to download games and ringtones using Windows Mobile, as your phone might be recognised as a PC rather than a phone.
