Cell phones offer a lot of entertainment—you listen to music, watch videos and can even play games all from your wireless phone. Just about any game you can play online you can also play on your phone. Depending on the model and carrier, your phone may come with a few games pre-installed, but follow these instructions to learn how to download new games to your cell phone.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Go to a mobile games website like eamobile.com or gameloft.com, or browse your wireless service provider's website to search for games to download to your cell phone.
Step2
Register at the site if necessary. You may create an account with a credit card, use PayPal or have your phone charged using SMS—the most likely choice—depending on the site's specific requirements and your individual preferences. Downloading from your service provider's website is the best way to know your phone can support the games you want and your service provider can also add the charges straight to your bill.
Step3
Find your cell carrier and phone on the site and choose a game that your specific phone supports. On most game sites you can search by carrier and phone or by game to make it easy to find what you're looking for.
Step4
Click "download" and "get now," or a similar link.
Step5
Enter your cell phone number when prompted and submit the request.
Step6
Receive a text message and follow the instructions to download your new game. Your cell phone may be charged a fee for the text message if your wireless plan doesn't include free incoming messages, and the company selling the game charges you once you've downloaded the game.
