How to Set a MySpace Status From the Phone

Update your MySpace status using text messages and your mobile phone.

Much like Facebook, MySpace allows you to use SMS or text messages to update your status on your MySpace page from a mobile phone. This is beneficial if you do not have an Internet data plan that you can use to directly visit the MySpace website on your phone. Setting up MySpace mobile service so that you can update your status with text messages is a simple and straight-forward task that requires a U.S. phone number.

Instructions

1. Start your preferred Web browser and type in myspace.com/myspacemobile into your address bar. Press "Enter" to access the MySpace mobile website.

2. Click the blue "Login" button in the top left of the Web page. A login box will appear.

3. Enter your MySpace account email address into the "Email" field and associated password into the "Password" field. Click "Login."

4. Scroll down the page and locate the "Text Your Status Updates" section. Click on "Sign up now" beneath it. The Mobile Activation page will appear.

5. Specify your mobile phone service carrier by clicking the "Carrier" drop-down box and selecting your provider from the list.

6. Input your 10-digit mobile phone number, including area code, into the "Number" field. Omit dashes in your phone number.

7. Click "Get Activation Code." MySpace will send a text message to your phone with an activation code that you can use to set up text messaging service for your MySpace account.

8. Input the activation code from the text message you received into the "Activation code" field. Click the "Submit" button.

9. Text your status updates to "69772" (MYSPC) to update your MySpace status from your mobile phone. Note that MySpace only allows up to 250 status updates per day from your cell phone.

Tips & Warnings

• Your status update cannot exceed the 160-character limit of normal SMS messages.
