What is Facebook Places?

Places is a Facebook feature that allows you to see where your friends are and share your location in the real world. You can check into nearby Places to tell your friends where you are, tag your friends in the Places you visit, and view comments your friends have made about the Places you visit. Learn more at the Facebook Help Center.

What do I need to use Facebook Places?

First, you need a valid Facebook login. If you don't have a Facebook account, you can create one for free at www.facebook.com.

You also need to make sure the Places feature is enabled on your Facebook account. To do this from the Facebook site:
Go to Account > Privacy Settings
Click Customize settings
Choose the settings you want for Places you check in to, Include me in "People Here Now," and Friends can check me in to Places.

It's also important that you have Location Services or GPS enabled so your phone can get your location (see Troubleshooting below for more information).

Currently, the Places application is available to users in select countries with mobile access to the Facebook application for iPhone, Android, Blackberry v1.9, or touch.facebook.com.

Learn more at the Facebook Help Center.

Do I need a smartphone?

For option 2, to complete the check-in process in the theatre you need a mobile phone with internet browsing and GPS/Location services. This promotion involves visiting a mobile website that detects your physical location in relation to the nearest theatre location.

If your smartphone does not have GPS/Location services, you can visit our Facebook page to receive a mobile coupon via SMS*. You must have a mobile internet browser to display the coupon.

I've checked in and ‘liked' Yahoo! Movies but I didn't get a coupon, now what?

You must ensure you check in using the mobile site http://popcorn.yahoo.net. You won't be able to redeem the coupon by checking in with Facebook places separately. If you've already liked the Yahoo! Movies Facebook page, you will skip this step and go directly to your coupon.

My phone can't find the theatre. What's wrong?

First, make sure you are physically present at a Regal, UA or Edwards Theatre and that you are getting a cell signal on your phone. Then make sure you have Location Services/GPS and JavaScript enabled on your phone and browser (see instructions below). Finally, return to http://popcorn.yahoo.net on your phone's browser and try again.

Why do I need to turn on GPS/Location Services on my phone?

Facebook Places uses your phone's GPS feature to figure out where you are and what Places are near you. Without it, there'd be no way to know which of the many thousands of possible Places you can check in to.

Is JavaScript required for this promotion?

In order to check in, you will need JavaScript enabled on your phone. Check your phone and browser settings to ensure you have JavaScript enabled.

I am getting a message on my phone that says the site can only be viewed on a GPS enabled smarthphone and I am using one. Why is my phone not recognized?

Some phones automatically default to viewing the computer version of a website instead of the mobile version. This is common on the Android devices. In order to change the setting on an Android, go to Menu, More, Settings and then check Mobile View to change your default.

I accidentally closed the coupon before redeeming. How do I get back to it?

Open your smartphone browser and navigate back to http://popcorn.yahoo.net. The coupon should still be active until it's either been redeemed or expires (at 8am EST the following day).

I don't see any locations in Facebook Places. Did I do something wrong?

Your phone probably doesn't have Location Services enabled. Setting it up so the phone and browser can get your location is a little different for each type of smartphone - see below for details on iPhone, BlackBerry and Android setup.

How do I get Facebook Places to work on my iPhone?

Location Services must be enabled so the phone can get your location.
