Locago is continuously being tested on different phones. You can now use Locago on seventeen different models from Nokia and Sony. In the coming weeks we will add more models from several phone suppliers. The complete list of supported phones can be found under Get started. Although your phone is not listed we still invite you to download Locago. If your phone is not too old and runs with Java, Locago should most probably work. Alternatively you can choose at download to be notified when your phone is guaranteed to work with Locago.
