Poppit Mobile question

[Lish]

I put a $10 plan on my cell phone- gives me 5MB.  Otherwise it is $.01 per KB.  Angel can you sign in?

Oh ok.  Thank you Lish.  Yes, I am able to sign in but I quit because my stepfather will have a fit if I keep spending with each kilobyte.  When I talked to Verizon they told me that as long as you were using it during free time it would be free.  I guess Cingular is doing it differently. 

Were you able to sign in?  I really don't like it, but I want my badges.

[Lish]

I was not able to sign in- how did you do it?  Under "stats" I did not see any place to sign in and no info in the help abou tit. :'(

I think I said in another post.  go to games, choose poppit, then you get a menu screen, and choose options.  I believe that is where the sign in.  I've done it several times tonight so it would stick in my head.  LOL

How frustrating!  Under my options, I can only change the difficulty.  I wonder if this is because this is new to cingular and pogo is still working out the kinks?  I will be so upset if I can't getteh badges b/c this is the only reason I have paid for this.  I contacted pogo and STILL no answer.

Do you see a sign in link under Difficulty, and Sound.  It should say "Sign In" and you click on it.  Once you sign in you can have it save it so you don't have to do it every time.

[Lish]

you know what?  I can't sign in OR change the sound.  Mine has no sound either.  JUST difficulty under Options.  UGH!  What shoudl I do?

[*Angel*]

I am sorry but I really don't know.  Did you try calling Cingular?

[Lish]

I did not try to call them- i figure they won't know what the hell is going on >:(

Ok, I just finished playing the game and then closed it, and it says 7408 kilobytes transferred.  Now aren't we charged for that?  Even though it is after 7 pm and minutes are free we are still being charged?  OMG I don't want to see my cell phone bill next month.   :-[

Yes I have a media net package with just 1 mg or whatever usuage from cingular.  I just went to their website looked at my multi media package.  I have a bundle for 9.99 a month, so tommorrow I'm changing it to a basic plan for the same prixe which come with 5 k.  And I have no idea if this is sufficient or not.

Did you have to create a multi media messaging account.  I did . . . and that's where you go look at what you are billed.  I believe your usuage will show up there, as you are billed.  I looked at mine, and the charge for the game is their so they do it very quickly.  I haven't seen any usuage for the airtime accrued.  But . . . you should find out if you have a multi media plan or if you are charge by the kilobyte.  I think it is .01 got each kilobyte used.   I don't know how far my plan with get me, so I'm very cautious.

I've decided to not sign in, play my games, then upload the at the end of the day or week or whatever.  You will not get jp spins, but when you update, you will progress in ranks for the game.

I got badge 1 today, and 63% to badge 2 ;D

I hope this information helps someone.

[*Angel*]

So you can play without signing in and then get the progress when you do sign in?  That makes sense, and sounds pretty good. 

Do you know offhand how many games you played to get a rank?  I played about 20 and won 15 but am still at 0% progress.

If you don't see it then you are probably signed in.  It stays signed in until you log out.  If I close out the game altogether, the next time you do those steps, that is if I am logged out, you will get a screen that says logged in.  If you are logged in, you get an update screen, which irritates me, cause stats don't need updated.  I don't know what else to tell you.  Everybody should be getting the same thing on their phones, unless it has to do with style model of the phone, which I don't think is applicable.  Sorry I am not helping much.

I think it was about 10 played between normal and hard games for the first badge.  It goes up faster on hard.
I've won 44 games and I'm 65% to the next badge.  So it hasn't been so bad.  I thought I couldn't play poppit without Thunderpopper ;D  You soon learn to use that undo button.  O0

Make sure you are signed in and update the stats if you are not.  If you are signed in then I don't know, cause mine is working correctly.

Ok I will give that a try.  Thanks!

umm im confused, dont you have to be online to sign in, but you have to pay kb to get online, but you say you play offline hows that work?

You don't sign in and play the game.  The phone keeps your stats until you log in and update.  The only difference not being signed in is you don't get those ridiculous 25 token jp spins.  When you update, you sign in and update the stats and your progress shows the next time you play the game and you are signed in.  I know it's confusing, I played all day to try to figure it out.

I've had scary cell phone bills, and I'm worried, LOL>

[*Angel*]

I tried playing, and then signed in just to update my stats.  That seemed to go better than signing in for those 25 token spins as you mentioned.  My stats updated and I see how many games I won, then when it was gonna tell me my progress my battery died.  LOL

I got the POPPIT to download on my phone with the text to 386.. however i'm like you Lish I can't find a place to sign in.. I called cingular and explained the problem.. the person I spoke to is very familiar with POGO thank goodness and he said seems to be a problem with the software possibly from their end.. he has put in a report for this issue and said they will call me back or text me with the solution, may have to re-download but he said there will be credit given if thats the case.  If you still have not been able to sign in i'll be glad to let you know what I find out.. if you have figured it out please let me know if you can.

[Lish]

Thanks so much for this- I talked to them this morning and the guy asked me if I downloaded a "trial" version and i said no..... this is supossed to be everything.  He had no clue  ::)  Let me know what you find out- I have no reply from EA yet either.
