I know this sounds weird but my spouse spends a lot of time watching tv down stairs. But im now wondering if he has been messing around on the wii. Every morning the wireless controller is in a different spot. And the wii is left on, I asked him about it and he said the wii can come on by its self. I let that one slide, also i think he is getting text messeages from his phone. Yesterday my home phone witch is time warner didnt work. When people called me its said the VERIZON CELL PHONE IS NOT ACCEPTING CALLS. When about 5 hours went by i decicided to un hook the wii. Then i used my cell phone and called the house phone and it worked. The phone company was in shock when they called my home phone. Need to figure this out.

Seriously he's an adult. Why would he sneak to play the wii?
Technically it can't turn on alone however my sisters bluetooth phone turns mine off at times. sucks
You cant text a wii directly. You can email it but only if you both added each other in the address book. I use wii-mail alot. Its simple but easy to find out. Look in your address book. There will be a name with an email address attached to it.
Wii has nothing to do with your phone line unless you are on dial-up its possible I suppose.
Really you need to loosen up. Very paranoid.

hi, i live in europe and i recently purchased a wii game in canada, i returned home and the wii is unable to read the disc. all the nintendo website says is check the disc is inserted the right way and clean the disc. i have done both, still unable to read the disc. does anyone know if wii games have regions or something like DVDs or does anyone have a solution? any help will be appreciated thank you.

hi, mine says that too, but only for one disc, a disc i bought in america and i live in europe. do the wii discs have regions? do ui have any other solutions? thank you!

Hi... I am trying to hook up my Wii console to my Wi-Fi USB Connector. I have never used the Wi-Fi before and when i tried to install it everytime it gives me a message right after the thing after the language selection loaded. It says " Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close, we will notify you when a solution to your problem is found." How do I fix this. I am doing all of this so that in the end I can download songs on my Guitar Hero World Tour. Please help fast! Thanks

jcmarenco · 12-28-2009, 11:36 PM

Hi, I recently bought Nyko's 25 hrs batts, but mistakenly, instead of buying the recommended charger (Nyko's Charge Station), I bought the new Nyko's Induction Charger. Well, it doesn't work with the 25 hrs batteries.

Is there any solution, or do I have to buy Nyko's Charge Station in order to use the 25 hrs batteries ???

Thanks for any advice

Q: Are the online services for Wii free?
A: Yes. The weather and news channels as well as WiiConnect 24 are free. Online play will also be free once it is released next year. The Opera browser will be a one-time fee, then the service is free (as of Dec. 22, Opera is available on a a trial basis for free). The shop channel is free to access, but you will have to purchase Wii points if you plan on buying anything.

Q: What does exchanging friend codes do?
A: By exchanging friend codes with another Wii owner, you can send messages, pictures, and Mii's to one another. Any Mii's that you have set to mingle can also travel to your friends' Wii's while yours is in standby. Friend codes can also be exchanged for games with the Nintendo WiFi logo on the case to play online.

Q: How do I find my friend code, and how do I add someone else's?
A: To find your own friend code, go to the main Wii Channels menu, then click the envelope in the lower right-hand corner. Next, click the "new message" button (the page icon in the lower left). Once you are there, click the address book (on the far right). Your friend code is displayed on the front cover. If you already have codes entered, press the - button on the Wiimote to flip back. To add someone's friend code, while in the address book, click "register" in the lower right. You can then choose to add either a Wii friend code or an email address.

Q: Can I add friends from overseas?
A: Yes, any Wii will recognise any Wii friend code. Wii uses a code system very similar to the DS (except that the code is generated by the system instead of the game). Some games had a feature that allowed you to see what region friends were from, but this has yet to be seen with Wii.

Q: What is my Wii usernme? Is it the same as the Wii Console Nickname?
A: Yes, they are one and the same, but what you enter for someone else's console name doesn't have to match what they entered on their Wii. It will work either way.

Q: How do I know if someone has added my friend code?
A: If you have not entered their friend code, you don't. This is for privacy reasons, both people have to enter each other's code. If you have added their code already, a few minutes after they add you, their name will turn from grey to black in your address book.

Q: What does the Wii username do?
A: As far as I can tell, nothing. The username you enter for friends does not have to match what they entered on their Wii.

Q: What do I need to do to recieve email to my Wii?
A: Follow the directions above to get to add a friend code, when you are asked for "Wii" or "other," chose other. You can then enter a friend's email address. They will be sent a message saying that their email was entered into a Wii, and to reply to confirm. They can simply click "reply" and send you anything. Their email is now registered in your Wii. You can only recieve emails from registered addresses. Your Wii's email is w[friend code, no dashes]@wii.com. IE: my Wii email is w6865968992034420@wii.com

Q: What do I need to connect my Wii to the internet?
A: There are several options. You can use either a wireless router (must be B/G compatible), a Nintendo Ethernet adapter, Nintendo USB WiFi adpter (the same one as for the DS), or a similar adapter (such as WiFiMAX). Read the instruction manual for your device for more specific directions. Also check out the "Wii Official Wireless Internet Connection Guide" thread for more information on the Wii-end of things.

Q: Why has my post been deleted from the "Share Friend Codes Here" thread?
A: Only posts that actually contain a friend code are kept. Please do not post people you have added or other conversations there, they will be deleted. Use the PM system (new members must make at least 5 posts before they can PM). Literally hundreds of posts have been deleted for not staying on topic. Nobody wants to waid through your conversation just to find friend codes.[INDENT]To PM: Click the person's username in the left-hand column, then click "Private Message this user". From there, it works just like email.

Comment if you feel I have forgotten anything.
