License-Free Cellphone Games: Some Assembly Required

phones lg 7050 cell phone Click through for game info on specific LG phones.

Through most cellphone providers, you can download full mobile games from their servers at the cost of $5 per game. Some providers, such as Telus, offer 30 day, 2 day, or 2-run trials, or even games that require you to renew a license every 30 days to keep playing. I noticed that when a trial/lisenced game checks to see if it’s allowed to run (if it’s still within the alloted trial timeframe) it doesn’t make an outside connection from the phone. What’s this mean? It means that the phone checks something in it’s own filesystem to see if the game is allowed to run. Bad call on the designers’ part!
