Globe and Smart users from the Philippines

Anyone on here using globe or smart? What data plansare you in now? I am searching for the best bis plan since we don't have unlimited plans here.

well i recently bought a bold 9000 and subscribed to a globe data plan. i have yet to use it though. up to now globe is having problems activating my data plan and registering my phone on their network. are data plans phone specific? i cannot understand why after a week i still cannot make full use of my blackberry.

Hello. I was just wondering if Globe solved your problem because I have the same problem as you. I got the 1200 G-flex plan and the 700 personal blackberry plan, is that what your on? Nagregister ako sa globe blackberry site nila para masend ko yung service books pero wala naman nagyari. Pacensya na, bago ako dito sa blackberry kc. Salamat Po. Hope to hear from you. Thenks

It shouldn't take more than 24 hours to have your BIS activated. Mine took less than 2 hours to be activated.

A friend had a similar problem and I think he had a bad PIN. Are your berries globe/smart issued?

Is the 3g/edge icon appearing as 3G or EDGE? If yes, it means it's activated.

I'd call globe or smart to have it expedited or better yet, visit a globe center, they will be able to immediately fix it unless you have PIN isssues.

My bold is globe locked so i didnt have problems when I had BIS activated. I am now alternating my bold with an 8900 which is not locked to globe. STill no issues.

I have a sure fire way of saving up on your bill. Pin me ( use the second PIN)

Are there any unlimited data plan roaming for smart or globe? Verizon used to have one but its too complicated to subsribe in the us and use the unit outside ust? Any help?

Pano po ba malaman pag activated na. Bago lang din ako sa BB eh. Nagsign up na din ako. What's next? Parang naguguluhan ako.

edge/gprs should appear as EDGE/GPRS. When connected to wifi, it should also now be in white not gray.

Try sending a pin to any bb user or an email. If it does not work, you need to call globe or smart.

Unfortunately neither offers unlimited data. you pay for every single kb you use if you are on the basic plan.

For Globe subscribers who's having problem activating their Blackberry Service just call the Globe CSR's. Ask them if they are already activate your account in BIS and not on BES. That's what happen to me when I subscribe to them. The service books already sent to my unit but I can't use their service. Then after 2 days the globe tech guy called me and admit they enrolled me on BES instead of BIS. Lol!

Hmmm... Yung nakalagay saken is still gprs. Sabi ng Globe activated na daw. Damn! Ilang days na blackberry ko, di pa nila inaayos lahat. Nakakabadtrip!

Yung Wi-Fi icon is still gray. Any solution for that?

so i can't use the BIS if i'm on prepaid?

Update: Na-activate na yung BIS ko. Tama mga suggestion nyo guys. Kelangan sabihin sa Globe na i-activate yung BIS tapos after few hours try to re-insert the SIM card then good to go.
