Mobile Codes are not anything new but still there is a large Nokia 5800 audience who may not be familiar with it. As per Nokia – “'Mobile codes' are codes in the same way as ordinary barcodes are, but their matrix structure can hold more information. The codes are also mobile in the sense that you can use the camera on your mobile device to scan and decode them.”
What you can do with a Mobile Code?
As per the definition above, a Mobile Code stores much more info than a regular bar code. Hence, you can use it to store your address and other important information. You can even use it as your business card. You can store upto 60 letter text as a mobile code and other links to websites. You can even publish it on your facebook profile, send as an MMS, print on your T-shirt.
Pre-requisites :-
There is nothing much really techie that you need. You just need a web browser to access the Mobile Codes website and the a decoder application installed on your phone which is available freely from a number of publishers. Yes, it comes free.
Visit http://www.i-nigma.mobi on your mobile handset to download the mobilecode reader.

2. Now launch the I-nigma application on your phone and it will automatically activate your camera.
3. Point the camera on the mobile code. Do this with a steady hand and soon the application captures and decodes the mobile code.
It is quite simple to use the application and with in a few tries you will get used to the application and you will be able to decode the mobile codes easily.
