How good is Starcomms mobile phone, its reception around Lagos and elsewhere with internet connection?

Multilinks is better for Internet connection.

i am really surprised. i was using multilinks internet connection, and then i switched to Starcomms. Starcomms is definitely better than multilinks any time. There was a time when Starcomms suffered in quality, but now it is quite fast. infact all my colleagues have switched to Starcomms now - they have a very good offer on their Internet cards for the laptops. You actually get it free if you subscriber for 3 months.

I have been using Starcomms for close to a year now and I have no cause for any complaints although they do have their downtimes which is normal...but reception wise and internet connectivity...it has been GOOD!!!

For me Thumbs up for Starcomms.

Seun, have you been living under a rock ? Starcomms is miles ahead of all the others in all facets; coverage, speed, options, wider array of devices and they also have a dedicated, 24 hour support line (8041234) to resolve all problems now, that's service . I have used Intercellular  and up until last year I also had Multilinks  but I have disposed of all of them as Starcomms is delivering the total package
Although they may have the occassional down time but this is not uncommon in telecoms rather it is Starcomms' ability to indentify and rectify that sets them apart and I happen to know that they return lost access days (if the downtime was from them) and most of all they are always runing one promo or the other, so it's very easy to acquire one (I think presently you can get the phone+data pack+15days free 24hr access for just N14,950) you can their customer care line for any info you may require

dont 4get the innovative "free weekend calls" they pioneered 

Really? You guys are talking about the Starcomms phone card, right?

No Seun even the normal desk top thing. Mine is quite fast and impressive. So happy i have it. Theeere was a time recently they were upgradin, but now it is beta

What download speeds do you get on your Starcomms desktop? Is it higher than 8 kilobytes per second (or 64kbps)?

how do I call a starcomms line assuming I am calling from ourside Nigeria?

if it is in lagos you 00234-1-the number

e.g
to dial 01749134345
you dial 002341749134345

Double lie. . wtf?

[center]The fact is that[/center]
they are both good, Sometimes your location and the model of phone you use also matters. But i will advise you to go for multilinks for flexible financial implication. I was at there head office today, they just shiped in Huawei ETS2551 Terminal, am getting mine on monday, i got there too late today, i got there 12:40Pm and i was told they have closed for the day. (they operate 9:00Am till 5:00Pm ( mondays to friday) and (9:00am till 12:00pm). By monday i will post update on the new phone. My current LSP-3000 connects at 115KBPS and but i can't download above 5kb/sec (Too low). With the Huawei ETS2551 phone, i can download at 8kb/sec and it connects at the rate of 153.6 kbps aldo the dfference is not that different i got other personnal reasons why i just want to upgrade to their new introduction. EG backlight displays on the keypad

8 kilobits per second on Multilinks? yet you're complying

if you intend to use  the phone as a modem, then go for their EVDO modems[usb, expresscards, or pcmcia card]. the speed on the x1 can be very frustrating. they don't have EVDO capable phones yet. with EVDO you  can get download speed above 100KB/sec i.e 800kbps. in Abuja they have EVDO rev .A which promises even higher speed. thats better than mtn or glo 3G

@fluche on which network are u proposing we should go for the EVDO modem starcomms or multilinks?

starcomms . @packa

Have you guys ever tried MTS firstwireless If not please give a try and experience real browsing at its cheapest. I have been using MTS first wireless over 2yrs, and still loving it.

24hrs is 9k
allnight 12am to 6am---- 2k
6pm- 12 am ----- 2k

Just buy their phone, no internet subscription fee , buy the fone, configure ur laptop or cpu free and pay for ur subscription.

MTS seen to be cheaper. Speed is another thing not just being cheap. Shaa are they in Abuja. All these goodies seem to be in Lagos alone. If they are in Abj somebody should let me know and if they are perfoming. Every body using Multilinks in Abuja is lamenting. The company is really messing. I even bought one of their phone for international call only to find out that it is just empty promises.

Guys please i really do need all your help here.In can't seem to be able to configure my starcomms connection.Please guys does anyone of you how you can configure the Username and password.Because i don't beleive in visiting the starcomms office if you can fix the problem yourself.And as regards their customer service lines,those lines are not 24 hr dedicated.They are hardly reachable.So please people help a brother out.
