Sandbox is a wide container filled with sand where kids can play. It develops the child's imagination and creativity. With buckets and shovels, they can build sandcastles, dig holes, burry things, etc. This is also a place for children to socialize and meet new friends.
I remember playing in a pile of sand in our garage with my brother-- He-Man and Transformers action figures coming out from the sand and beating up the toy soldiers and the G.I. Joes behind the sand barricade.
Fast forward to 2009, sandbox goes digital and enters cyberspace. Like the sandbox we're used to, www.mysandbox.com is also a place to play, enjoy, and meet new friends. Get in the box whether your using your laptop or through your mobile phone!

- Who can register?
Anyone with access to the web can visit and browse the sandbox portal and register as a user.
- Do I really have to register?
To enjoy everything that sandbox has to offer, it is best that you register. Prior to registering, you can already browse content on Tunes, Games and Moviemania and enjoy available previews. But if you want to purchase content you like for your mobile phone or try MyGroups, check out Forums and get Mail, you’ll want to register.
- Does registration take long?
Not at all. It can be completed in less than a minute. Just click on register and fill out the required fields.
- Can I use the services right away after registering?
Not right away but definitely soon after. After completing registration, next step is the activation of your registered account. This involves getting a link and an activation code minutes after a successful registration. Smart mobile users will get this via text message and email. Other users will get this via email. This is to make sure that the person who registered and the owner of the email address and/or mobile number are one and the same. To complete the process, simply go to the link in the message and enter the activation code. Wait a few seconds for the confirmation and you’re on. All services, except Mail, are available to all users after registration. Currently, users with Smart mobile numbers will automatically get an email address and inbox on sandbox Mail, while others will not. We will let you know if or when this changes.
- How many times do I need to register?
You only need to register once. And because our system keeps a record, you don’t have to re-register on each service. We call this the single sign-on. Keeps things simple. Makes it easy. You register only once for Tunes, Games, Moviemania, MyGroups, Forums and Mail.
- Do I register separately for forums, mygroups and email?
The single sign on automatically registers you for all services. No need to sign on separately for each of them.
- Can I change my username and password later on?
Changing your username and password implies the creation of a new account which means you will not hold a record of your information or activity from your previous or original account. So unless you plan to keep more than one account active, the best thing is to keep the same username and password. If you must create another account for any reason, you must use specify another mobile number and email address that will be unique to that new account. Otherwise registration errors will result.
- What if I forget my username and/or password?
If you forget your password, just click on the Forgot password link and your password, along with your username, will be sent to your email address. Just use it the next time you login. Retrieve via web answer security question.
