Sensible Soccer

The 16-bit classic is back - on mobile phones.

FACT-O-MATION TIME!

Or: "I want Sensible Soccer on my mobile phone but I'm clueless..."

Because getting mobile games is something of a black art, we thought we'd ask those kind chaps at Tower Studios to cobble together a helpful guide to aid those of us not versed in how to download games onto our mobile phones...

The first thing you should know in your quest to download Sensible Soccer on your mobile is that you can get the game either from your operator or from a portal.

To get the game from your operator (e.g. O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile) you need to go on to the operator's WAP site. Normally you mobile will already be configured for this - often just a single key press from the main menu will get you there. Once there, go to the games section and follow the instructions to download.

Alternatively you may be able to get the game from the operator's web site (e.g. www.o2.co.uk ).

To get the game from a portal (such as www.partymob.com) you can order the game by phone or by sending an SMS - see the portal's web site for details.
