- Seeing my soaring bill, i went to globe biz center.. wala silang alam.. so they reported my case to BB tech support and globe bb called me and explained and apologized. They computed my total usage minus 5MB, excess overcharges was credited on my next bill.10-14-09 02:30 AMLike 0
- guys theres a free app on blackberry app world called "mobile data tracker" it keeps track of network data usage and wifi usage, great for pinas since theres no unlimited plans for bis... and it will let you know if data is going through wifi or your network provider... try to download it through wifi though or your computer since the application is pretty large... have fun!10-16-09 08:21 AMLike 0

ask for...
Blackberry Supersurf plan for 2000php
If they dont know, tell them it was released October 19, 2009. if they still cant find it. ask for a manager lol10-19-09 10:59 PMLike 0 - True@drichhhh. The ones written above by paul are blackberry plans. Similar to an iphone plan. The super surf is an ADD ON. Its not a stand alone plan. Meaning, a regular voice plan is needed before you can have it. Thhe bb plans are stand alone plans. It can be had without an existing voice plan.

@Paul: so true. That's why after calling one CSR, I make sure to visit a wireless center the next day just to verify the information. Kind of defeats their purpose tho.10-20-09 05:32 AMLike 0 - Its weird,I just called a CSR from globe and she told me 3 new data plans for blackberry ,the plan 1500+ w/ free 70hrs surfing and 100mins calls, plan 3800 w/c is the unlimited surfing and 300mins voice call, and plan5500 w/ unlimited surfing and 500mins voice call. There's no 2k unlimited bis plan bein offered?!how come?

-- Also, your current plan say in my case plan 700 will be converted to plan 2K na. Its not gonna add to the plan 700 i already have, just an fyi in case there is a confusion.10-20-09 05:01 PMLike 0 - wow nice.. newbie question, because im using a globe prepaid, and im looking forward to transfering to globe post paid because of this..
the question is, my mom is in the states, and she uses BB also, does this mean that i can IM her using BBM w/o additional cost?
2nd question, i purchased my phone in the states with at&t as a vendor, will globe convert my phone? i cant use BBmaps even though i have it installed in my BB, for all i know At&t locked this app to give way to their version of BBMAps.
lastly, i cant use apps like FB, YM, etc., if i enrolled to globe's BBplan will they activate this service? thanks!10-23-09 12:47 AMLike 0 - First, bbm is not free of charge. It enable the feature once you subscribe to bis/bes and other bb native apps. it cost you O.15 cents once you already consume the plan.
Second, I'm using att curve as long as your unit had never been provisioned to any line it the states before, it's safe to use here. Or unlock or release the pin first.
Yes, you can use ym, fb and other 3rd party prog once your bis is already activated.

Question 2 - as long as your phone is unlocked, you will be able to use that with globe; assuming of course that bis or bes has never been provisioned in the phone in the usa.
Question 3 - those apps will work when you have bis activated. same chrages apply as I have stated for bbm.10-23-09 01:00 AMLike 0 - wow! thanks for the quick response... now im drooling to have a postpaid plan! =D
im just clearing this out, i can IM anyone, even if he/she is in a different country? with the same cost? as long as i know his/her PIN?
i purchased the phone in the US with no service plan with at&t..10-23-09 01:47 AMLike 0 - YES. Happy BBMing....... Get an unlimited plan so you can enjoy on the go service....if you're on wifi all the time, so much the better! enjoy!10-23-09 01:49 AMLike 0

Uhm, just to be clear unlimited bis includes surfing, right? Hindi lang emails... :P
Btw, my subscription to this thread is acting up. It is showing that I am subscribed but I have not been getting any notifications on my inbox. Any ideas, folks?10-24-09 09:25 AMLike 0 - Sir charles@ yes you get unlimited surfing, email, instant messaging.
Saizer@ of course you can. Add our pins. We have a bbm group. Masaya dun.
