Cell phone games have certainly come a long way from the days of playing “Snake” on our Nokia hand set. The games are more elaborate, ranging from puzzles to adventure games and simulations with graphics and clarity that make us sit up and take notice. Whether you’re using the lower end “free” phones from your mobile carrier or a high-end gaming phone with all the bells and whistles that you purchased from a specialty retailer, the ability to play games is almost always included on today’s mobile devices. Of course, before you can play those games you’ll need to understand how to install them on your cell phone of choice.

The first step in jumping into gaming on your cell phone is determining the mobile operating system your device is using. The top OS choices currently include the iPhone operating system (Visit the Apple Apps store if you are an iPhone user. The Apps store can be found on your device and you will simply search for games, find the game you want to purchase and download it to your device.), Google Android, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Blackberry operating systems. If your device does not use one of these options, it is probably some form of “proprietary software” that will require specialized download software that is installed on your device for use with your specific carrier.

Visit popular software sites if you are using Blackberry, Windows Mobile or Symbian. There are several certified and highly recommended mobile software sites online. Choose your device from the list of manufacturers and then choose the program you want to install. You can find mobile games by clicking on the “Games” link. In most cases, you will simply download the application onto your device from your mobile phone’s browser and then click on the single install file to install the game. If the game requires a special installation process or certain device hardware and software requirement, you will receive a “readme” file with the game and you’ll need to follow the directions. You can also download the games to your PC and then sync your device with your USB cable and transfer the games onto your device or transfer the game using a Bluetooth connection. The user manual for your phone will give you directions for syncing based on your specific phone’s requirements.

Check with your cellular provider if your phone does not include a popular operating system or if your device is locked to a specific carrier. They will more than likely have their own application stores which will include games. Each carrier locked cell phone will offer its own download processes. If you are unsure about your phones specific operating instructions, contact your carrier or support from the site you downloaded the application from.

Enjoy your new cell phone games but, while playing games on your phone, be responsible and remember your basic phone etiquette still. Don’t ignore those around you in favor of gaming. And, of course, never distract yourself with cell phone games while driving.
