My phone isn't listed; can I order the game for a different phone and use it on mine?
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.

Please check back regularly to see if we added your language to the list.

My Country/Carrier isn't listed; can I leave a blank space, or put any other country?
If your country or carrier doesn't appear on Gameloft's site, it means that it's not available at the moment. Do not enter another country or carrier, as the purchase will not be successful if you do. We expand our coverage monthly, so please visit regularly.

I can't download the game via WAP, can I download it to my PC and then transfer it to my phone?
Gameloft only supports downloading games over the mobile internet (WAP) and not any other method such as by cable, infrared, or Bluetooth. If you try to download a game to your PC to later transfer it to your phone, it will not work and the game download will no longer be valid for your phone.

Why do I get an error message saying the transaction is not possible when I try to buy a game?
The error message "Sorry, but the selected game is not available for your phone. Below is a selection of games we recommend for your device" indicates that we don't yet support your handset for the selected game or for the selected carrier. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

When I install a game on my Motorola phone, it says that it may be limited. Is this normal?
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.

I have trouble downloading the game to my phone, what should I do?
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.
