Friday, December 18, 2009

INQUIRER.net  12/18/2009   MANILA, Philippines—Spurring the market for Internet access on the Blackberry device, mobile telecommunications firm Globe Telecom introduced an unlimited Internet access on the Blackberry for postpaid users.

The prepaid service will be offered in three modes: P50 for 24 hours, P220 for five day days, and P1,200 for one month.

But the service does not include Internet browsing, which will be charged separately. For postpaid users, they will be charged 15 centavos per kilobyte while prepaid users will be charged P5 every15 minutes of usage. 

My comment:  seems very limitiing and expensive for just using email and social sites??  Smart offers unlimited surfing at 50 pesos a day.....which Globe is not doingin their P50 plan, you only get to surf limited social sites and email.  Sun also has an unlimited surfing plan for 50 pesos a day.

Note SMART has much better plan

For an additional P50 per 24 hours, prepaid users can avail of unlimited Internet connection on their Blackberry device.

Another option is P300 for seven days unlimited access, which translatesto P1,200 per month if the user avails of the service per week.

The fee for the unlimited Internet access is on top of the cost of using the Blackberry device for voice calls and text messages.  Read more about it here http://smartphilippines.blogspot.com/2009/12/smart-offers-flat-rate-blackberry_06.html


Comments i already registered my PIN and IMEI to Smart BIS when i tried their service. is there a way to unregister it?  because if there is no way, i can’t use my sim Globe for my BB.

just do a wipe on your handheld before inserting the prepaid globe to be sure to remove all service books. Then it will be provisioned to your new sim (IF this promo is really working that is)

as soon as your device is provisioned in the globe BIS then it will automatically be disconnected from the smart BIS, its like a change device. Then you can now create your globe bis address to be used to configure your push emails. problem occurs when there are service books left from your previous simcard. so to be safe just do a handheld wipe. upon provisioning, new service books will be automatically be downloaded to your device.
