For GLOBE SUBSCRIBERS another tip to save on your bill :

visit globe.blackberry.com and create new account

you can manage your email accounts here and be assured na dka machacharge ng unnecessary emails or atleast minimal lang..

once registered, you can see all your emails na naka register sa blackberry unit mo.

click on filter then choose Forward Messages to Device HEADER ONLY

everytime you will receive an email, ung subject lang ang machacharge sayo which is 1-2 KB lang(sabi ng globe), you will have an option to continue reading the email or delay and just open it in your PC / laptop..makikita mo din ung size ng email so may option ka talaga na wag ng buksan kung malaki..


hope this will help! :-)

FEI: This applies to SMART subscribers as well since it does not require any act on the telco's side of the fence.

It has. It just doesnt have an additional fixed conusmable plan. For example, in my case, I have plan 1200, my data is being charged to this 1200, in that sense its actually consumable without an additional 700 plan which globe seems to impose as an addition to your existing plan.

What's the correct APN settings for Globe?

Hi, hon3y11! Same as you, I never expected to like a phone so much. Blackberries are just so dependable. It never failed on me, as compared to the previous phones I have used before which most of the time, would crash or froze at a very crucial time, losing any new SMS on the process. That was very frustrating. Thank god for BBs.

i think as long as you set auto more to NO, it only downloads 2kb. regardless if header only... this header thing might use less than 1kb lol

Your post is quite unclear. Kindly clarify. If I set AutoMore in the email options to NO, will it always download a maximum 2kb regardless of the size of the email? (except if the mail size is less than 2kb of course)

If the download-header-only option uses less than 1kb, is it not better to use Paul's advice?

[drichhhh]

if you set AutoMore to NO, it will always download a max of 2kb. You have to click on options then "more" to download more than the 2kb. But by default, it will only download 2kb. so Each email received will cost you 2kb. or .15*2= .30

Im not sure about the header thing. But the automore,im pretty sure about. im not sure if globe or smart can charge you less than a kb so im guessing theyll charge you 1kb minimum. but hey if an extra 15 cents lets you see part of the message why not
