Wattpad: Another Cool Thing to Do on Your Mobile Phone

The great thing about owning a smartphone, PDA or other handheld device is all of the things you can do with it. Sure, you can receive emails, surf the web, text message all over the world and, oh yeah, use the telephone features, but one thing that I really enjoy is downloading and reading stories on my phone.

This relaxing activity comes in handy especially at times when I'm forced to wait on an appointment or when I'm a passenger on a long drive and conversation has run short. This is why www.Wattpad.com is such a useful site for anyone interested in reading or sharing stories directly from your mobile phone.

Wattpad is a community of mobile phone users who share stories online. This may be an article, a novel, fan fiction, poetry, self-help genre or any other body of work that is uploaded for other users to read. The site is free to use and all that is required is the brief downloading of Wattpad's reader available by going to m.wattpad.com from your mobile phone's browser. The phone downloading Wattpad's reader must have internet access and rates for that access may vary, so it's best to either make sure you have a data plan on your phone or check with your service provider on data charges before installing. Once installed, however, any and every story available on Wattpad is accessible by a user.

To select stories, it's necessary to visit Wattpad's site from a computer, browse the list of stories available and then send your selections to your phone either through SMS text or email or you can jot down the Wattcode (reference number) of any story and enter that code into the reader on your phone for easy access.

Once you've received a story on your phone, you can adjust your settings to a text size that's most comfortable for your eyesight and you can also set your phone to automatically scroll through the story at a comfortable speed as you read along.

Story categories range from art to religion to business to travel and everything in between. New stories are added by other members daily and there's even a special section where members can request stories they'd like to read.

With Wattpad, you can always have a personalized selection of reading material at your fingertips without having to lug around extra books or papers to read during your downtimes. Great stories are waiting, so why not head over to www.Wattpad.com and snag a couple for your phone today?
