Back to topWe strive to make the upgrade process as comfortable for you as we can. Depending on where you installed the first version, you would either need to contact your store / operator / handset provider or you can download the user guide from the Mobile-XL™ website for installation / upgrade instructions.
Back to topYes, all you need is a Java-based phone with either GPRS or Bluetooth functionality
If you have a GPRS enabled phone, simply text "XLB" to 3663 (for Kenya) or 7197 (for Uganda) or 3112 (for Tanzania).
If you do not have GPRS activated on your phone, you will have to contact your operator / handset provider / retail outlet to get the link to download the XLBrowser™. You will need a Bluetooth activated PC or Laptop to store the file that you download from the link. You will have to transfer the file from your PC or Laptop to the handset using Bluetooth functionality.
