Network
There are sometimes problems with mobile operators not running compatible networks. This is known as 'garden walling'
because they restrict which websites you can visit to only ones they approve of. It's unfortunate but there's not much
we can do about it. The good news is more and more are stopping doing this every day, so if you find yours does it
should be easy to find another which is ok.
Java phones
To run Phonewebcam on your handset, it must support java.
Generally, most phones released in the last couple of years will be fine. If in doubt, ask your dealer or
use an internet search engine for your handset's specifications. You can also check our lists of compatible models
here.

Internet settings
Like many networked Java applications, Phonewebcam requires an internet connection.
Setting this up can sometimes be tricky - we have guides for popular models
here.
We recommend that you use our free Phonewebcam Compatibility Test on your handset to first check that your
phone is able to run java applications like Phonewebcam. To do this, you'll need to download it to your handset
manually. This is done differently on different phones, but generally they all involve you entering a special
URL/address into your phone's browser. Look for an option similar to "Go to Address" or "Enter URL", then
enter http://test.phonewebcam.com. When it connects, the download starts automatically and once installed on
your phone just follow the prompts.
