If you are a Cingular/AT&T cell phone subscriber you can download a free Solitaire Game by sending a text message FCS to 386.
(Text messaging and data download rates still apply).

Thanks. I'm probably the only person in the universe who dosen't know how to send a text message from his phone. Well, I *was* the only person. Alas, after getting the reply message with the link I need to follow, I get "Connection unsuccessful, try again later." I doubt it's a tower issue... my office literally sits UNDER a tower. I'm guessing that Cingular is getting hammered.

if you're an original ATT subscriber, then what I found out probably applies to what happened. According to Cingular CS, ATT customers can no longer access the internet or download multimedia messages. They are phasing that out.

When I said "So I am being penalized for being a long time loyal customer and I'm being forced to switch over." They also don't offer anything comparable at all to the minutes I'm currently getting at $40. I've never used up all my minutes and I use it as my main phone.

I sent the text message about 3 hours ago and never got the download instructions. How long did it take for you to get your response?

Just worked for me, thanks OP.

I capitalized the FCS, not sure if it's case-sensitive.

(1) Text FCS (all caps) to 386
(2) Send
(3) Almost immediately, get a message in reply:
Subj: FreCell Deluxe 2.0
From: wap.cingularextr
(4) On my V-180, tap "Go To"
(5) Enter my phone's unlock code (I have data services locked down behind a PIN)
(6) Browser Launches, Connects, I get:
Connection unsuccessful, try again later.

I have one of the best phones on the market (sony walkman 800), but it is not supported for this free game.
