Yes! We don't charge you anything for using Papaya. We even help you to save money by providing cheap international SMS and call rates. However, your mobile carrier might charge you for data usage. We suggest you sign up for the unlimited data plan with your mobile carrier.

Most likely! We support most BlackBerries and Windows Mobile phones, and any mobile device that can run Java applications. Please see our device support list for the further details.

You can sign up from your mobile phone or from a computer. Simply visit the Papaya homepage and click on the Join button. Type in your phone number and we'll send you an SMS with a link to download Papaya to your phone. You can also visit wap.papayamobile.com directly on your mobile phone to download Papaya.

We need to verify that you own the phone number so we can safely direct your phone calls and SMS messages to you. Only your friends can see your phone number.

We will try to detect the model of your phone and send you the right version automatically. If we cannot autodetect your phone, you will need to choose your phone model manually. If you don't know your phone model or you can't not find your phone model, you can download a general version. The installation process starts automatically after you download Papaya. Some phones and carriers will prompt you to confirm.

You need to be able to access the Internet on your mobile phone before you can use Papaya. Some common names for mobile Internet technology include GPRS, 1x/CDMA and/or 3G. We have carefully designed Papaya to minimize the amount of mobile Internet traffic, but encourage you to consider a unlimited data plan. Please contact your carrier for details about your mobile Internet data plan. The location of the Papaya application depends on your phone make and model. Common locations include "Applications", "Games" or "Downloads".

Click on "New Contact" from the menu and fill in your friend's name and mobile phone number to add your friend to the Friend list. We encourage you to fill in the phone number in a format of +(country code)(phone number), for example, +16501234567. If your friend shares the same country code with you, you can only fill in the phone number, for example, 6501234567.

If your friend is already a Papaya user, you can see the friend's Papaya profile and online/offline status right away. If your friend is not a Papaya user, you can invite your friend to join Papaya from the menu.

When you open Papaya for the first time you will be asked to allow Papaya to import your phonebook. Once the phonebook is imported, all your contact information will appear under the "Friends" tab. The Friends tab works much like your regular phonebook, only better. You can use it to send free SMS messages to other Papaya friends and make cheap calls. You can also share pictures and other files with your friends and IM contacts. You can edit your Papaya phonebook and synchronize these changes back to your original phonebook. We will remind you to synchronize once per week. If you don't want to be reminded you can turn it off under "My Account -> Settings" on Papaya.

You can either choose the call feature from the Papaya home screen, or go to your Friends list, choose a friend, and choose to call him or her.

There could be a few causes:
- Your Papaya phone number doesn't match your real phone number.
- Some older phones don't allow third party applications to start a phone call.

You can either choose the SMS feature from the Papaya home screen, or go to your Friends list, choose a friend, and send a short message to him/her. When you choose a friend to SMS, Papaya will let you know whether this friend is online or not. If the friend is online, you can send messages to him or her for free. If the friend is not online, you will be charged.
