Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does MojoBaby work with any mobile phone?
If your phone has the ability to send Emails or MMS messages, you can use MojoBaby.
You might need to contact your service provider to activate "MMS" messaging. Similar to text messages, MMS allows you to send photos and videos. For many mobile packages, MMS is included along with text messaging when you have a camera phone.
-
Does MojoBaby work with any specific carriers?
MojoBaby updates can be sent with Verizon, T-Mobile, Cingular, and Sprint.
-
How much does MojoBaby cost?
The MojoBaby service is free for users, but you may have to pay your cell phone provider for the MMS messages you send. Often times, they are included in a text messaging package but you should check your particular plan for details.
-
Can I edit a picture, video or text after I've sent a post?
Sure. Just go to the page that the post was made on and you'll see options to rotate a photo, edit text or delete the post entirely.
At this time, we don't have a way to alter existing text through your phone.
-
Is there a limit to how much text I can post?
Right now we allow a maximum of 1000 characters per post.
-
How do I send text, pictures and videos to MojoBaby?
MMS, or "multimedia messaging service" allows messages to be sent with pictures, videos and text too. You may need a special MMS package from your cell phone carrier if you don't already have one, but it is common for this service to be included alongside regular text messaging plans.
Depending on your carrier and phone you'll have an area where messages are collected much like email: inbox, sent, drafts, and deleted. You'll need to find the key on your specific phone that allows you to start a new message and rather than "text" or "SMS" you should look for the option to send "MMS" messages. You should consult your phone's manual if you are new to MMS messaging and are unsure where it is located on your phone.
