which of the packages did you attempt subscribing to, and what did your credit balance read?

audacious:
I can't seem to subscribe to any of the Glo data packages. No matter the package I choose I keep getting the message "Dear Customer, sorry you do not have sufficient airtime credit to complete this transaction. Please recharge and try again.".

Tried all of em, I get the stated reply and nothing gets deducted from my credit.

I can't seem to subscribe to any of the Glo data packages. No matter the package I choose I keep getting the message "Dear Customer, sorry you do not have sufficient airtime credit to complete this transaction. Please recharge and try again.".

* I have enough credit for the packages before trying to subscribe so thats not the problem
* I browse normally with the line (at 15kobo\kb), so that's not the problem either
* Glo customer care was no help

Anyone else have the same problem? or knows a solution?

Whats the storage capacity and where you @?

George_D:
audacious,
thanks for understanding. but looks like buntu is still spitting fire. so maybe you should calm him down

@ 4llerbuntu,

George_D don appologise na and I'm sure when you're ready for FTA he'll hook you up with a 6meter Dish and the best HD, PVR capable, accepts all cards decorder on the market . So please let's forget that issue.

George_D:
2legit2qt,
your right again. everybody has a choice.

4llerbuntu,
audacious,
if it means anything to you guys, i'm sorry about the outburts.

Ayowumie:
An email message was allegedly or purpotedly sent to journalists in Abuja on Friday. The Nigerian security apparatus was privy to the message but allegedly decided to ignore it. The failure of the security personnels lead to the death of innocent Nigerians yesterday.
It's a pity. Words fail me.

It's so easy to critisize security personnel, it baffles me how quick people are to accuse security personnel of not doing anything (especially by journalists). How do you know that security personnel ignored the warnings? (and don't tell me you got the info from our lazy "no verifying or investigating reports before publishing" journalists). If you know Abuja then you'll know that they detonated the bombs some distance from Eagle Square, this shows that at least some security measures where put in place to safeguard the venue of the independence parade (where the e-mails warned the bombs were planted), hence the inability of the perpetrators to plant the bombs closer for more effect. It's sad that newspapers and tv aren't even reporting about the security personnel who lost their lives in the blasts yesterday.

or do people expect every car in Abuja to be checked for bombs? As someone pointed out, the US intelligence where well aware of a threat before 911. They even knew that planes were involved in the plot. Just like the british train bombings and countless other examples. You can't cover every where or everything at the same time.

The bulk of the blame rests on the Government for not doing enough when the militancy started, the Amnesty programme is plagued by accusations of diversion of funds meant for rehabilitating of militants, e.t.c.

It's sad that what we've been seeing on TV happening in other countries while thinking "Thank God I am a Nigerian, e no go happen here" is now happening here. Naija @50, hmmm!

May the Soul of those that lost their lives yesterday rest in peace, and may the Almighty give their families the fortitude  to bear the loss.

audacious,
everybody's got a choice even a choice to be indolent.
so make yourself a milking cow for the chinese - by choice! 

@George_D

My respect for you on this forum just went one step lower. I've mentioned before that I see the valuable contributions you make in the FTA threads. I guess you just don't know how to respect people's opinions and choices. I've followed the Official FTA thread right from day one, there are alot of FTA enthusiasts on nairaland that have contributed just as much as you have (even more) in the FTA threads and it's nice to see that most of them don't go slamming FTA down everyones throat.

George_D:
moonraker,
i see you have some fta knowledge but seems to me its too limited and far too rusty to be of any
real use to you. and for your info cnn, bbc, aljazera, euronews, etc are all dancing free in the air around you! 

you should be stunned to know that more than half of the crap dstv peddles as paid stations are actually free.
all they do is to gather them together[b]and dish them out to folks too lazy to do any research[/b].

as for startimes, it gets even worse as 99.9% of all the stations they have is free. they only give you the convenience of hooking a small antenna inside your house to receive them. you know, i just laugh when i see their advert on galaxy tv. does it not strike you that the first scene on that advert is a picture of two men 'struggling' with a 90cm dish? 
well, the chinese are very smart people and they have done their homework well before foraying into the
nigerian tv market. they know that the average nigerian working class is lazy and don't like to exert any extra
energy if they can avoid it, so here comes startimes, a bouquet that gives you all those free nta packages without lifting a finger! 

that advert (in a few seconds) is a sad commentary on the indolence of the average nigerian and a testimony to the dexterity of the chinese! 

@ George_D
I have a problem with your "lazy" statement. If I opt for DSTV, Startimes or any other paytv because I don't have the space (or my landlord won't let me mount a big dish) I'm lazy? Hell if I stick to paytv for any reason of mine then thats my bizness, I don't need an FTA enthusiast insulting me. You might not have meant it as an insult but I do feel insulted by that statement.

Imaging the kind of insults I'll get if I posted on the FTA threads how great paytv is. Its kinda funny how FTA enthusiast are intolerant to does that prefer paytv and how they keep pestering non-FTA guys about FTA. We know that some of the channels we are getting are FTA, we know you can get CNN, BBC, Aljazeera, France 24, CCTV free on Nilesat, but then it's called choice and everybody's got one!

Sheesh, where's a Mod when you need one?

samir101ng:
Am so sorry but i don't have any links. I have a friend who works in their sales department. He  activated my line for me. I think you dial *100*something# and send yes to confirm. I have been using it since yesterday. Its a newly launched promotion aimed at beating etisalat in the market. I dont even think they have updated their website yet. I promise however to post the instructions tomorrow morning by God's grace.

NB. Yes, am in Abuja now and i can confirm that glo has an EDGE network. They don improve from GPRS (abi na 2.5G dem dey call am). Where are all the people shouting about how improved glo 3G+ was ? Me, i never see 3G+ ooo! Am currently at Zone 6 behind Military Pensions Board. Abeg, prove this doubting thomas wrong.

@samir101ng

Glo showing 3.5g at Lake chad crescent, Maitama (has been showing for some months). You can try other areas of Maitama for your experiment

@ lynx, better buy your android!!

shay na new casing and effizy wan dey dull u? abi is it not the same old symbian cack that we have been using for donkey years?

soon naw na how to hack, install AV, install this n that we go dey hear.

its the same old wine in a new bottle, go with the times and upgrade your parol, wetin be symbian? tseew, if e like make e be V10

@ all, i dont mean to put Nokia down but way i figure, if your not a "dont know nada" user and u know wassup, i really dont see why u would buy anor symbian fone when u can see the great devices out now, Iphone 4, HTC etc.

Foward ever jare. make dem go drwaing board go re-strategise. if i were them, i would pay thru my nose and buy up meego from google

@ 4llerbuntu

Just a little correction: Google has nothing to do with MeeGo, it's a linux based OS championed by Nokia and Intel (i.e. a merger of Nokia's Maemo OS and Intel's Mobilin OS). Nokia said the N8 is going to be the last N Series device running the Symbian OS, with Meego taking over on future N Series devices.

lynxnoon:
men am going tru the same dilemma oh. . . .

Tell me about it, dem no go kill us!

With the Nokia DVBH mobile tv headset (which should work on all symbian^3 phones) DSTV mobile should look awesome on either of those screens. I think I'll hold off on that HTC Desire purchase. Afterall HTC ma vex announce two Desire variants today. Chei!, choices choices choices.

George_D:
startimes, starcrap! 

George_D:
abeg make we hear word! which reputation do chinese companies have in naija? 

Oga George_D we get that you are an advocate of FTA. That's good and fine, but not everyone is into FTA (i.e. Big or small dishes, tracking, scanning e.t.c.) Startimes offers an alternative just like DSTV and HITV, if people choose to go with that then I believe you should respect their choice and not keep shoving FTA down everyones throat! There are threads for FTA and we all can see that you provide immense contributions on those threads, my point is this is a startimes thread so please give reasonable contribution or in your own words "Make we here word!".

@ Dobodobo

As much as you dey right, no dey insult people. e no good sometimes live somethings make e walker pass.

@Hotwire

People like u naim be the problem nigeria get, if you know know the solution e better to keep quiet. Them advertise 40/1 channels and now na only 33 channels. You know know say na original 419 be dat? For well organised countries u no go fit come advertise say 1 mudu of elubo na N100 then bring measurement wey no reach mudu for N100. If you do am for first time u go refund people and dem fit take am say na mistake, but if you repeat am again na criminal offence.

I don't see what all the hoopla is, they advertised 40 channels and two packages. The full package (which I guess is the 40 channels) at N1800, while a package with fewer channels at N1000. They have 33 channels now and are charging N1000 for them, how are they cheating customers? They've mentioned that when they add all the channels they'll introduce both packages and subscribers can choose which they prefer.

I agree the repeatation and lack of a decent movie channel is annoying but hey, BBC, Aljazeera, Discovery world, ETV and MTV Base at N1000/month without need for a Dish is ok for me. (Advocates of FTA, no be everybody get space for Nilesat dish)

@Moonraker
yes your're right our supplier has also offered us Apple iPhone 4G on 8 days pre order, bloody expensive though. Big issue is that they use the new micro-sim card, do any of the phone providers in Nigeria provide this? I ask the question for the Ipad as well as this to uses the micro-sim for 3G and I have customer asking for the Ipad wth wifi & 3G, how will he/she be able to use it in Nigeria? any answers please,

This should work: http://www.cutmysim.com/

MY GOD,

WHEN DID HAUSA START PLAYIN' FOOTBALL SEF?!!!

DEN 4 USE KOBOKO FLOG KAITA N HARUNA HEAD OUT OF DAT FIELD!!!!!!

I WONDER IF THEY KNOW WHAT THE TERM MIDFIELDER IS!

BUNCH OF, LEMME NOR TALK!!!!

Like sey na aboki miss one on one with goal keeper and the other miss open net! Abi na aboki sit down for ground inside his 18yard box while keeping an oposition player onside and proceeded to watch as that player scored the second goal.

Keita messed up but we had our chance to take the lead, that was blown by Yakubu and Obasi!

ChinenyeN:
You all are funny. Tpia has a legitimate point, and some people's responses to her seem sentiment based & filled. Anyway, you all carry on with your topic.

That's Naija for you, and everyone wonders why we can't move forward. Lazy journalists don't verify facts before going to print with stories, people gobble any gibberish that is thrown at them. When you say give me facts it's easier for them to rain abuses on you and say you are benefitting from the system or ignorant when it's they who are basking in ignorance. That's why we'll continue going in circles at 50 and beyond!

George_D:
is star time going for 1,800 now? first it was 1,000 now we are hearing 1,800. next it will be 2,500. no wonder somebody was saying here that he didn't trust the chinese. now i can see his skeptism too.

Actually from the onset they mentioned that they'll have two channel packages; one for N1000.00 and the full package for N1,800.00. All the confusion about them won't have arisen if they just had a website where the information about them is readily available. Since they are in partnership with NTA why not just create a page on the NTA website for Startv info before they launch a dedicated website

What's the make and model of the card you have?

@ LIONGATE, Abuja. Have you got one that's compatible with my Lappy?

I'm looking for a WWAN Card for my Dell Latitude E4300, anyone have one for sale or knows where I can get one in Nigeria?

moscyt:
@initialise, pls i want you to tell me how to copy and paste on 5800 xpress music and can you pls paste your yim and your number so we can talk bout the phone. Thanks in anticipation.

Copying and pasting text on the Nokia 5800 depends on which application you are using. If you want to copy text from an SMS, press and (while holding down) drag over the text you want to copy, when you stop dragging a box pops up with copy as an option. Click this to copy the text you have selected. To paste the selected text, go to options, editing options and you'll find paste there.

To copy text from Notes and other applications (e.g. Browser), press and (while holding down) drag over the text you want to copy. While the text is selected, go to options, editing options and you'll see the option to cut/copy. Pasting works the same way as stated above.

Move= natal + wii mote

The playstation eyetoy has never been deployed as a full standalone game control scheme, so yes Microsoft is doing something different with Natal.
