This page allows non-apix users to start the process of joining the community. Step one of this process is represented on this page. This step helps mlab identify if the user's phone is capable of handling the apix client. If it is capable then Mlab steps through how the user can find the client on their carrier's deck.

All items represented in the registration form on this page are required. Validation of the form happens once the submit button is selected. Once submitted all elements are stored in a separate marketing DB that is not connected to the registered user DB. The information submitted is not used for registration purposes. It is only used to see if the phone is acceptable. Therefore we need to capture the user's information while we have their interest. If they only fill in this information we can ping them at a later time to come back.

The marketing DB of email addresses must be cross checked daily with the actual user DB to see if the email address in the marketing DB has been used to register as an apix user. If the address hasd been used that user should never be sent a message asking them to come back. The DB also needs to store whether or not the person's phone was compatible with aPix or not.
