Has anyone used this phone with the Munzee app? Did it work? I'd like to use the phone for deploying and reading (capturing) the QR codes.

Hi Toni,

The Munzee website says they only support the iPhone and Android smartphones, so this phone doesn't qualify. However, I did find out whether this phone can use QR readers, and the answer to that question is that it can.

I was able to download the Kaywa QR reader to my PC and then transfer it to the EX124g via Bluetooth. I then launched it and was able to read a test QR code that pointed to the Google website. I then went to the Munzee.com site and pointed the phone at the test QR code that points to the Munzee website, and it was able to read that as well.

It looks like the actual Munzee app itself is NOT supported, although I didn't actually check it as I'm trying to upgrade my original double minutes EX124g to a triple minutes phone like what they're now selling before I add any airtime.

If anyone else has tried it successfully, please let us know. I admit I don't know much about geocaching and Munzees.

Regards,
sb (admin)

It's pretty touchy, get a good pic with sharp contrast and it works.

funny thing is it takes the pic after you OK it. not when you click the shutter.

I downloaded the KAywa app and it works fine with the test examples on the web, so it should work. However when I try it with a magazine or other document, it says it can't find an image
