Hello

This is my guide for Reporo to get 500 piggy points and a 50p CD or £8.25 off a DVD. Firstly you need to have a Pigsback account, if you are reading on the forums then you probably will already, if not then you can sign up at http://pigsback.com/registration/memRegister.asp.

Next you will need to click on the Reporo link at Pigsback.com. This is essential to get your 500 points. Click on http://pigsback.com/offers/484554470/default.asp to get to the Reporo page and then click Take up offer located on the right hand side.

You will now be at the Reporo home page. You should see: “Get shopping in just three easy steps. First, what make is your phone?” Select your make and model of phone to continue by clicking on the appropriate icons. So if you have a Nokia phone, click on the “Nokia” logo then your model.

If you can not see your phone listed, do not worry. Often there is a phone very similar in style and model number which would be fine on your phone. For example, the Nokia 3200 and Nokia 7250 are very similar phones (although they are both listed), and the Java application would work on both of these. If you have any doubt as to if your phone would work with Reporo then just ask on the forum, we would be happy to help. If you are unsure then you could just go ahead with the phone and download the application anyway, its not going to harm your phone in anyway. The worst that would happen is you would get something along the lines of “Unable to start application”. If this happens, simply delete the application from your phone using the options menu, no harm has been done.

Once you have selected your phone you will see “And finally…We now need a few details in order to send Reporo to your phone.” Fill out all your details, including the credit/debit card details, as this is a bit of a pain to do on the phone itself (its easier using a keyboard, rather then having to text your address into Reporo). Once you come across the Mobile Network, select your network. If you are on O2 Pay as You Go, select O2 Pay Monthly. This selection doesn’t actually matter; all this is used for is data collection through Reporo, which mobile network most use their service. As long as you can access the WAP over your phone, either through circuit switched wap (dial up) or GPRS you will be able to get Reporo. So if you have O2 PAYG then Reporo will work with your phone. The only operator that I am aware of that will not work with Reporo is 3, as they only allow you to visit their website so you will not be able to download the application.

Now proceed by clicking “Send Reporo to my mobile now”. The screen “Before we send Reporo to your mobile, do you have GPRS set-up on your phone?”. If you know you have accessed WAP on your phone before, to either download a ring tone, visit a website etc then click “YES, please sends me Reporo now”. Although it states GPRS you can also use dial up, as long as you don’t mind waiting a little longer for the pages to load (GPRS is faster than circuit switched wap). If you have never visited wap before, just check before Reporo sends you the settings that you can access the internet (the new settings they send you may be unnecessary if you already have the correct settings). On your phone browse to “Services” or “Fun and Games” or something similar. Go to Home, or “Browser” followed by home. If this page loads then you can successfully connect to WAP and you do not need settings. If the page doesn’t load or you get an error, allow Reporo to set your phone up for you by clicking “NO, please send GPRS settings to my phone” Once you have done this, click “NEXT, please send me Reporo now”

You will now get the message “Reporo has been sent to your phone. Follow the instructions below to install it.” Follow the instructions on the Reporo website to download the Reporo software. Once you have downloaded the application it will say “Would you like to open the application now” or similar. Select Yes. The Reporo software will load and you will then be able to search for a CD or DVD. This should be fairly straightforward, just follow the prompts. Once you have added the item to your basket you will notice that no discount has been applied. You need to go to the checkout before this happens. Then, enter your ePIN to confirm your order. You should get an email from Reporo confirming this (although I don’t really like the way this is done as you don’t get a CD-WOW order number until your item has been shipped, so you can not track its progress, unless this has been changed?)

Now you should have ordered your item and got your great £8.25 discount + £5 worth of piggy points. Reporo is great for a whole load of shops, have a browse at what it can do, its really quite useful if your on the go a lot. You can get to Reporo again once you have closed it by going to “Applications” or something similar like “Games” and then “Applications”

NB: I have had to generalise in this guide in several aspects, the phone and the operator. As each phone is different (although they are all rather similar) its hard to write a guide specifically for a phone, therefore you will see I have written “or similar” quite a lot. Take a look around your phone and I’m sure you should be able to find it. Reporo does also have a help guide, it may be of some use, https://www.reporo.com/help.jsp.

If you have any questions ill be happy to help, just post below and you should get some replies. I would sign up for this offer quickly, as it will not last that long so you don’t want to miss out. Although it’s not confirmed, it appears that you have to purchase an item from Reporo to receive the Piggy Points.

I hope this guide has been helpful, if it has please thank me using the button below (its free )

I spotted your post dkenworthy, but firstly it is in the wrong place, and secondly it doesn't follow the referrer rules.

Edit: Glad someone else has reported it, as it saves me a bit of time.
