ammanison: @luluosas we are proud of you,but let's not deceive ourselves,glo has finally block this thing.its better we all forget about this whole issue and just move ahead.
Thank you. However, in reply to my email today, they told me the issue have been resolved and that I should do a hard reset by removing my battery. Although I'm yet to do that now but, I still believe this issue is a network problem. Thank you.

tumababa:
they are not just ready to wake up to reality. hope the network issue is resolved soon.

Why are you rushing into conclusion like this? When this BB thing was working, this thread attracted traffic but, not as much as the last 3 days since this challeges began. Therefore, this goes to show you that a lot of people truly benefited in using this blackberry.net APN. So, I just hope it is a network problem so that we all can finish our remaining data volume yet. Thank you.

bigtt76: Been following with rapt attention. I must commend Lulosas but at the same time admonish him and other for making the 'cheat' stuff sometin like its a right to have. No that is wrong. I just saw the tweet ...telling the Glo guys you actually use it for Galaxy Phone ...like seriously? Are you trying to expose what they already know and get them sacked? You think they don't have boy and girl friends they share such with to woo them? In as much as its working on other phones doesn't make it your right. Abroad its called tethering and most providers charge you extra for such service or they block it out rightly. Come to think of it ....if Glo can prevent you putting more than one email account on some package, do you think it would be difficult for them to block BIS use on none BB fones? very simple to do and configure. All the need to do is programme their SIM card to read your phone's PIN and send to the system before you can be enabled.

Another instance is you think they are foolish, you subscribe to BIS 3G no traffic is going in or out of your email server profile on BB and BBM yet your traffic keeps getting consumed with high downloads through non-BB browsers? Haba.

To all those poking fun ...I say don't worry it shall be rectified. What happened was during that rain early monday morning, Glo's VPN connection to Blackberry Server and Internet Backbone were affected by the storm resulting in lack of 3G signals or 2G in some places. If truly they blocked the APN blackberry.net ....you will see the 3G sign on your device but it won't browse. But right now, we are not seeing it which means the 3G transmitters is down. it comes off and on.

It would be very difficult for the network to change the BB APN without recourse to Blackberry Engineers input. All mobile Networks connect to the central BB Server in the UK using their GPRS (If you check your Host Register on BB you will see it populated 620 GPRS bla bla ....) as the VPN mode. They can only block you tethering by preventing more than one MAC address per connection on their server. Changing the APN involves a lot of routing locally. Airtel succeeded because they first of all route all BB traffic through their local data network to their BB VPN server. so you first connect to their Data network before going to the BB network.

Anyway, lets keep our fingers crossed till weekend. Its being resolved in phase and most importantly let us desist from telling the Glo people openly what we are doing else they would nip it out. Though they are getting the money which is important, credibility of the BB service in Nigeria can be compromised using this cheap way of providing BB service to end users thereby resulting in RIM disconnecting them all.

One love guys. Please don't try to question my source or expertise on all this ....ok? Pls.
To be honest, this superb professional write-up is from an insider from the telecoms corridor. Thank you for your advice.
However, neither me nor anyone that contributed to this Thread never take the use of Glo BB plans on non BB devices as a right. In fact, this was never a 'cheat' as every user of this BB plans were paying for it.
Yes, I tweeted about this BB plans on Twitter but, that's a mere fraction as compared to the visit to Nairaland on a daily basis. Therefore, even if I have never tweeted about it, Glo surely would have still know as a result of the sudden rise in their BB subscription.
Meanwhile, I am so sure this current challenges is a network issue and we hope it will be resolve soon. Thank you.

routsz: @bigtt76(f)
Thanx 4 yr informed contribution. Its not about 'cheatin' per se, its d reality of d fact that there's a massive android (& other non-BB) population here that d network providers have to design unique services 4. Somehw BB gets d glory in all of these but I've been 1 android user who consistently detests anythin BB. No 1 wants to cheat - remember every non-BB who subscribed to this also paid 4 it. Its all about d service providers realisin these facts & providin users-specific services (data bundle in this case) @ realistic prices. Kudos to luluosas
Thank you. It was actually the differences between BB subscription and HSI subscription that drives me into looking for avenue to get more data volume for less. Therefore, if Glo were offering 500MB - 800MB for N1,000 on the HSI platform, who would care about some BB stuff?

I'm not a pessimist but Glo is messed when it comes to handling traffic and even if restored their services are always poor and crafty. Imagine!they pretended they can't fix daily deduction plan I tried to opt out from. THIEVES!
Not very correct. Glo internet service is good in my area even though it is just EDGE. Thank you.

" It was due to a system issue
at the time. The issue has been resolved
now. You may need to subscribe to a data
plan."

Let's examine the tweet by gloworld very well.........
I think I read between the lines......
It implies the BB subscription you were using on ur Android phone at that time occurred due to system error and it has been rectified, so u can't use it on your non-bb phone again. in other to continue ur browsing, u will av to subscribe for data plan and not BIS.
I understand u didnt get the context well but now you know.

#justthinking: No Glo agent who can throw some light on this issue?



A customer care agent can't know which type of phone you are using for any subscription. Unless he has time to insert your line on the Stand Alone Device Manager, but when you call and say you are using a BB no one checks your line.
Re: Glo Blackberry Plans On Phones And Other Devices by WackyJ1(m): 4:55am On Feb 21, 2013
This is just too bad. I'm distraught. Glo is just a terrible network and after this i'll never fall for any of their tricks again

@lugardosa

@Luluosas I've added u and set u as an admin for the fb group 'Telecoms Customers' Union of Nigeria (TelCUM)'. So u can begin adding folks from here who share the same grievances regarding this glo issue. Once we build a sizable number we can begin taking actions. I'm thinking an open letter to NCC endorsed by all members will be one of those action in due course of time. We will add as many people as share our ideals, but in doing so be careful to vet their identity so we don't include telecoms agent into the closed membership. I believe we will be heard in time to come. Telecoms companies, like banks cant continue to take undue advantage of us cos we keep their business alive!
May God Almighty bless this struggle....

While I love this idea and I fully support it.

There are two suggestions though.
1. Why do you make it a closed group. I thought the idea is to have as many members as possible. You should have created it as an open group NOT a closed group.
2. You should encourage every member to share the page on their wall, thereby reaching as many as possible.

Thanks.

By the way, I have sent my request to join the group, waiting for the admin to approve my membership.
