Mobile Phones

  1. I keep getting locked out of my account when I try and log in on my mobile phone. Why doesn’t it accept my log-in information?
    Using your mobile phone to enter data takes a little practice. Passwords are case sensitive; make sure you are entering your password exactly as it is set up. If your password begins with a lower-case letter, you may need to use your phone’s shift key to change the default from upper case. In addition, some phones require extra shift key presses to enter numbers instead of letters.


  2. Why can’t I see the first few transactions of my account history?
    Due to the screen size on the mobile phone, only a limited amount of information can be displayed. Some mobile phones take you to the middle or bottom of a new page instead of the top. To make sure you are at the top of the page, use the up arrow key on the phone to scroll all the way to the top of the page. If you want to view more information below, use the down arrow key to scroll down until you come to a "More" link. When you click on "More," it will take you to the next page of information.


  3. How do I know if my phone is Internet-enabled?
    If you have a MiniBrowser, MicroBrowser or Wireless Web on your phone’s main menu, then it is Internet-enabled. Contact your mobile phone carrier to confirm that your phone is Internet-enabled and that the service is activated.
