Cell Phones and PDA's
(Click here for ScoutPalDB hardware requirements)
ScoutPal can be used with any web-enabled cell phone or wireless PDA. Here
are some tips for choosing one:
- Your current cell phone may already be capable of using
ScoutPal! Check with your service provider to get instructions for web
browsing with your phone. Then try browsing to:
http://waptest.scoutpal.com ("waptest" instead of "www")
http://www.scoutpal.com/waptest (alternate test site)
(Note that these URL's can only be used with a cell phone browser.)
If you have a PDA, use the following test site:
http://www.scoutpal.com/pdatest
You will be asked to Enter and Send your Amazon Marketplace Seller Nickname.

test website, while you are in the store.
- MOST IMPORTANT: When considering a wireless service, make sure
that it has good coverage in your bookscouting locations. Ask to see a map
that describes these locations. Be wary if your bookscouting locations are
on the fringes of the coverage area.
- Links to coverage maps:
