General -- beBell Cell Phone

The beBell Smart Phone will help gain social points when you're not in the mood to interact with other beYou citizens’ meters. You can gain social points by text messaging your beYou friends or by playing the beMan Says game.

You have a DAILY MAXIMUM for text and game SOCIAL POINTS. These limits are 30 points per day from text messages and 20 points per day from games. After you’ve reached your limits, you may still use the phone without acquiring more points. Your phone will notify you when you reach this level, but it will only notify you once.

NOTE: The beYou friends that you send text messages to do NOT have to have a phone. They only must be wearing the beYou Hud to get your messages.

beYou friends can be added by simply doing one social interaction through the beYou Meter. All it takes is one handshake, one big hello, or whatever the choice is and this person should start showing up on your friends’ list.

## Instructions

To begin using the phone, simply wear it (right-click and choose ‘add’). Add your phone. It will display on your screen as a hud and a second one will appear in your hand.

1. CHARGE YOUR PHONE: To charge your phone, rez the charger included with your phone. Make sure you have beYou power in your assets. To obtain power, you can either cultivate and harvest your own using one of our beYou power sources. Or you can purchase power from your fellow beYou Citizens by buying via the Local Markets page.
2. TEXT MESSAGE YOUR FRIEND's Huds. Gain Social! You can gain social by sending a text to one of your friends. When you click on "Text Friend" a list of your beYou friends will come up. Your friends are the people with who you have interacted via the meter. If you want someone to appear on your friends list, just go do one interaction with them via the beYou Meter. We will add an option to Add Friends via the website as we move forward in the game.
3. PLAY THE GAME! You can also gain social by playing the game.
4. CHANGE THE WALLPAPER. You can customize your phone with a wallpaper of your choosing.
5. CHANGE THE SKIN. Make your phone more unique by customizing the outside look. We will continue to add more options for you for the skins and wallpapers.

## beBell Phone Game

The beBell Cell Phone game, called beMan Says, is like the RL game Simon Says. Follow the colors and sounds in order and win the round. Each completed round will get a little more complex and go faster. After a certain number of rounds, you will gain social and some logic (though this is not predictable).

## Texting Friends

One of the key features of having this phone is so that you can text your beYou friends. This feature will not work with your SL friends list as the people you text on your beYou phone are from your list of people whose meter(s) you've interacted with at some point in time.

In order for you to gain social points from texting your friends, they:

1. have to be logged in; and
2. must be wearing their beYou hud

Your beYou friend(s) do not need to have a phone, but can text you back if they do. If they're online but not wearing their meter, then you will not be rewarded social points.

You can send a maximum of 6 texts total per 24 hour period to accumulate social points through your phone.

## Why Didn't I Get Social?

Most likely you have reached your daily limit. You have a daily social limit of 50 points. 30 points from text messages and 20 points for playing the game. This means once you reach this limit you can still use the phone, however, you will not receive any additional social points the rest of the day. This will reset for you each day.

* +5 Social points for each text message you send and is received by your friend.
* +1 Social points for each level above level 4 you get to in the game.

If you text a friend and they are not wearing the beYou Hud, you will NOT get the social points. \*\* If they just wore the Hud give the system at least one minute before sending them a message.\*\*

If you do not get past level 4 on the game, you will not get any social points. For every level you get above level 4, you will gain +1 social points on your account. For example, if you get to level 8, you will get +4 social points. if you get to level 10 you will get +6 social points. If you do not make it past level 4 you will get 0 social points.

## Skill Points

When your social is at 95% you will receive 1 Logic point after winning a game or after texting someone. Once your social maxes out at 100 or 99.9% no more Logic will be awarded.

## Why Is My Phone Dead?

1. All phones lose their power over time. Your phone will need a charge every day. You can use your charger to charge your phone. You will need to load a battery pack into your assets in order for the charger to work. Your battery supply can continue to charge your phone for as long as the battery life. The battery life depends on the battery that you purchase. When you open your battery box and get the battery folder, rez out the battery and click on it. It will load super fast and then you will see a red hover text that says the battery has been used. Happens really fast... To test if it loaded follow step #2.
2. When your phone is dead, walk over to your charger and click on it. Make sure you're wearing your phone. Give your charger about 30 -45 seconds to charge your phone. You can check the progress as it’s charging with the progress hover text. Your phone should turn back on as long as you have more battery charge left in your charger. If you do not have any more charges left, you'll have to add more batteries to your charger.
