Finally, by agreeing to have your activity measured, you'll be inputting valuable data into the development of future products and services. The next device you buy may have been designed in a particular way due to the company knowing how YOU use your device... now that's cool. So the data is sent back over GPRS? Won't that cost me money? Both MoDaCo and M:Metrics have had this flagged as a major concern from the outset, and so incredible work has been carried out to ensure data volumes are as low as possible. As a result, experience to date shows that an 'average' user will only upload around 35k per MONTH, and even a 'heavy' device user will likely only upload around 50k per month... a tiny amount! The metering application also sends 1 SMS when it is first installed, to tell our servers that it is up and running  What exactly is recorded by the application? Will it affect my normal phone usage? The Smart M:Panel software records usage of various mobile phone features - email, web browsing, games, etc. - and securely returns the data to M:Metrics without interfering with the normal use of your phone. The application has no user interface... it's truly 'install and forget'! I have a couple of other questions... is there any more information available on line? There is! You can check out the M:Metrics hosted FAQ by visiting this page and clicking 'Frequently Asked Questions'. You can also reply to this topic, and we'll do our best to answer your questions You will also find the privacy policy online there.OK, i've read enough... let's go make some money GREAT! It's fantastic to have you on board! To get started, simply visit the SIGNUP PAGE, and click, well, 'get started' You will receive a text message containing a download link for the metering application, click it, and you're away... (there is also an option to install via your PC, should you wish to save on GPRS costs).FINALLY, if you decide at any time you no longer wish to participate in the panel, simply uninstall the application from the 'Remove Programs' menu. P PS Know somebody who uses a Symbian or Palm device? Yes, let them know too... as this offer is open to Windows Mobile, Symbian AND Palm users, and they can signup using your same referral link! -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder.

Just signed up. I feel more secure about the service since they answered a lot of the questions we had in their FAQ.
I couldn't care less about the $15 or $5 thereafter (but I'll take it) but I like the other possible prizes. Me does love me some giveaway contests!!!

QUOTE(sporkguy @ May 9 2006, 23:29) Still havn't received the welcome/confirmation email :/ That won't be instant, as it corresponds to when your device first sends back data (I believe)... you can see if this has happened by going here, logging in, and seeing if any activity is displayed yet.

Clarification... if the device you have is not listed, you can select an equivalent device (e.g. as sporkguy chose the SP5 for his QTek 8310). Also, if you have multiple devices with multiple SIMs, you can register them individually, but only with seperate email addresses...

The welcome mail gets sent when your device first calls home and sends back data, so if it doesn't happen immediately, don't panic

Had the endless "Connecting......" problem with PIE last night although it's working fine this morning. I don't suppose this is related ?

I get that on my SP5 without this installed
I think it's a quirky GPRS connection issue...P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |
