1. The Basics
Q. What is text messaging?
A. Text messaging is also known as TXTs, Texts, or SMS (Short
Message Service). Text messaging is a way to communicate on your mobile phone
by sending or receiving plain text messages. Texts may be used for anything from simple
correspondence with friends and family to receiving news and information about upcoming
events at the LA Philharmonic Presents.
Most digital cell phones available today permit text messaging. To determine if
you can send text messages, it is best to contact your wireless provider or refer
to your mobile device manual.
Q. What is a mobile wallpaper?
A. A mobile wallpaper is an image formatted to fit a cell phone.
Q. Is my carrier one that you support?
A. LA Phil Mobile wallpapers are currently available on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Alltel, and Dobson. LA Phil text alerts are available on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Nextel, T-Mobile, Alltel, Boost, Dobson, and Virgin Mobile. We are constantly working to add new carriers.

to have this enabled because you will receive your mobile content through a text message. Check with
your wireless provider if you are unsure of your data plan. Treo and iPhone users on AT&T and T-Mobile are unable to
download mobile content because those devices do not support WAP Push messages that direct your device to the site
from which content is downloaded.
Q. Is my cell phone compatible with LA Phil text alerts?
A. To sign up for text alerts, you must have a text-enabled plan with your wireless
carrier. Most plans available from carriers today have bundled text messaging plans. Check with your
wireless carrier if you are unsure of your text messaging plan.
