I sent activate to 444 to activate Glo 3g but havent gotten the settings yet since Tue though my phone is already showing the 3g symbol.So i went to their site n got the manual settings which i configured on my phone but only d Glo direct settings(APN:glosecure) was browsing.The Glo 3G settings(APN:glo3gvideo) was connecting but kept on giving me a web page saying access denied.Pls help me out my phone model is Nokia E61.

Don't bother yourself with anything 3G for now, b'cos as far as I know they r Still in the Testing Stage. .

You won't belive this, the Proxy works with access wap also

MMS = connection not available
Access wap = Bad gateway


Only access wap works now that is, if you change ya proxy

Sometimes, there are some SIMs that will just refuse to work with the facility.
I took mine to their office for configuration more than twice.
They sent me settings via the network and it didn't still work.
I called Customer Care for only God knows how many times and they kept telling me that my SIM had been activated.
Eventually, I had to buy another SIM card and I got everything working same day in their Ikeja office after I had spent about 2 months trying to get the first one working.
Maybe you should try and do that.

@ Dr. Dre

It beter calling 121 than going to that there ikeja office

Their Customer cars [121] , their Ikeja Office. . What's the Difference.

. .Still same Thing **Long Queues . . Total Waste of Precious Hours** ^-Teeeew



N.B: I had to go thru Same . .way, Back then!

Are u browsing wit d glosecure apn(glo direct) or glo3gvideo apn (glo 3g)?

@ Info
Well, it depends on how you see it but seriously, I got tied of calling 121.
At a point, I felt my number was already marked by the guys (lol) because I kept getting the same response.

@ Hayprof
Calling 121 or going to their Ikeja office can be quite different.
If you go early enough in the morning, you may not even need to get a number as there would be very few people.
It's also better because you can make your stand on your ground physically rather than just hearing this "Sir, your SIM has been activated, keep trying until it goes through. Thanks for calling, have a nice day".

@ Abibio
I'm browsing with the GLO 3G

Actually d Glo 3g went today but only to cms.gloworld.com but was very slow d Glo direct is faster but the max speed i have reached is 2kbps.How is d speed at ur side is it up to expected 3.5G network speed

@ Abibio
The speed sometimes may also depend on the transfer rate of the phone you're using or maybe I don't really understand what you're trying to say.
I have achieved something slightly over 5kbps but honestly I don't really always watch the speed but it's better than all the other connections I have tried with my system.
Please, correct me if you feel I don't understand the point you're trying to make. I just connect with my lappie through my phone. Don't really know what you mean by GLO direct.

@ Dr Dre,
u got me rite.my phone support speeds of about 400kbps.So whats all d hype abt glo 3g(3.6 Mbps) if i cant reach speeds higher than 2kbps even though d signals if full or is it because the thing is new?

@ Abibio
Personally, I don't always believe in the speed that most of these operators claim they offer.
I don't get my hopes high that much after my experience with so many of them.
I usually just hope to find something with a reasonable speed and that's what GLO is giving me at the moment.
It shows that the speed is about 115.2Kbps but I don't trust any of them (lol)

I await Celtel's 3G

Actually clocked 10kbps yesterday night but still not impressed.

What speed r u Hoping to achieve ?

Maybe about 290kbps like info did wit Celtel 3g

Wat! You Can Open a Cafe, then!!!

@ Abibio
While watching out the speed yesternight, noticed it went slightly above 10kbps.
Are you really sure that Celtel 3G got to 290kbps ?

@ Dr Dre
info backed up his claims wit pics on one of the threads in Nairaland

@ Abibio
Please I would like to get the link to that thread if possible.
I was shocked this morning when I connected my GLO on my second lappie and the thing was showing me 460.8 kbps
And truely, the way my pages loaded was quite different from what I had been experiencing on the first system I usually use with it.

If u connect a phone via bluetooth to a laptop,it displays a speed of 115.2 kbps and if u connect a 3g phone via cable to a laptop,u will see abt 460.8 kbps.These are the max speeds of the modem not neccessarily the speed at which u are browsing.In Nigeria,most times u are browsing at a far lower speed.The thread i think is the Drop ur research thread,it's one of info's old posts.

@ Abibio
It's not always the case.
I connect with a DKU cable to my other lappie and it still shows 115.2 kbps.
I used the same cable with a different lappie and it shows 460.8 kbps.
I will try and go through the settings on the other to see if I can get the same result
Yes, I know it's the modem's max speed and not the real speed.
