Text message games

You can play a number of games by SMS, including the BBC's Walking with Beasts game. Typically these games are very simple one player games, such as quizzes or basic combat scenarios.

Have a look at BBCi Mobile's SMS games page where you can see links to all the BBCi games.


Logos and Ringtones

Some of the more popular mobile phone handsets allow simple customisation.

Using SMS technology you can receive short musical ringtones or small pictures to replace the operator logo on the main screen of your phone.

But beware! Most of these services are now charged for, and often you have to use a premium rate telephone number to pay for the ringtone or logo.
