Globe and Smart users from the Philippines
- The problem is Prepaid blackberry plans are still somewhat new (conceptualized in 2007-2008). There have been massive updates in that realm, and I'm beginning to wonder if Globe is still on an old platform that handles the prepaid activations and Smart is on a newer one.
Couple that with out of country handsets.. and it becomes a recipe for problems. Scroll back for a few of my older replies, you will see a solution.03-01-10 12:33 PMLike 0 -

But I think u have to upgrade ur desktop software first. Also, not really sure if its included in the super surf kasi when I ask globe, they said super surf covers bb but not when ur using APN. Not sure what that means.

You're right. The latest Desktop Manager software has the option to tether your BB as a modem. If you don't want to use that, google for an app called "Tether". They're actually have a giveaway contest on the main blog, put your name in and you might get it for free.03-12-10 04:19 AMLike 0 - Hi, newbie here. BB storm1 user..
Do you know someone/any shop where can I get upgraded my OS? To be honest, until now I don't know what version of OS my phone got.
I bought it "used", i'm a postpaid globe user, but accdg to them they can't do anything for my phone since I did not bought it from them. I cant access email, my browser is missing, cant use bb messenger, etc etc...
Can you recommend any shop who can help??

How do I setup my BBs internet settings? I remember in my old nokia's, I would setup the APN for internet, and setup MMS/GPRS/WAP as well.
In my bb how exactly do i do that? or are the settings automatically placed when i insert the sim??03-30-10 10:26 AMLike 0 - Hi new to BB here, just got my 9700. Globe subscriber.

If you got your unit from Globe I think they pre install all the service books you need, not sure though if others have this experience as well. I got my BB from them and it had everything there. All I had to do was call the hotline to have my BIS activated, and it was done in less than fifteen minutes.
Posted from my BlackBerry using BerryBlab04-02-10 10:57 PMLike 0 - I love my BB! Its the best decision I've made so far. Haha!
For those who are asking abt charging their bb's.. Accdg to the globe peeps, they said u shud not drain it. Coz it will take longer than the usual. My bb takes 2-3hrs charging..
For thoise who bought their handsets in Globe.. All apps are pre installed. u dnt have to register it to the BIS thing. I bought my 9700 in globe. That's based frm my experience. I dnt kno abt the others though.

It will take several hours to activate it and di shado stable ung signal, sometimes they would say na activated na but still showing gprs/edge (small caps). Been a globe user for years and they dropped the ball.
So happy I switched to SMART. Super bilis ng registration and super stable ng signal. Like 5 minutes after the request, activated na.04-04-10 10:36 AMLike 0 -
Of course, the networks would say their usual spiel regarding units not bought from their shops and the shady assurance of BIS activation. Indeed, sometimes they won't work -- especially the prepaid. I suggest you skip calling the hotline because the CSRs don't have any idea regarding BB's. Go to the business centers themselves.
With a little persistence, you'll get it to work.04-05-10 06:36 AMLike 0
