Most people don't know that their phone screens do more damage to their eyes than even the laptops.
As mentioned also, try the flux software. It will help you sleep better too.

Absolutely,
You could try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.humanaware.ebulksms

Business / Re: Which Is The Best Bulk Sms Provider For You Naija? by doctorfox: 1:42pm On Feb 16, 2016
In that case you would be fine to try another service.
I wouldn't compromise on service delivery for anything. If something isn't working, and no one is willing to fix it, there's only one option left.
And that is to move to a better service.

You could follow my earlier suggestion, as there's an assurance that you will always get a response once you send a message.
I'll suggest either sending an email or calling the contact numbers to confirm.

www.ebulksms.com/contact-us
Business / Re: Which Is The Best Bulk Sms Provider For You Naija? by doctorfox: 1:16am On Feb 15, 2016
Could you explain what you mean when you say they are lagging behind?
Their web platform or mobile app?

See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.humanaware.ebulksms if you're looking for something simple and effective.
Business / Re: Help Me! I Have Been Defrauded By OZBULK SMS by doctorfox: 5:06pm On Jan 21, 2016
Irrespective of any affiliations or promotion, if I was looking to purchase anything from an online business here are the things I will look out for.
1. Their online business - How long have they been on the internet doing business? WhoIs records for example [url]whois.domaintools.com/ozbulksms.com[/url]

2. Their social media presence - When last did they post on social media? Facebook, Twitter, etc. What are people saying to and about them? Any blog posts about their business, third party references, etc.

3. Their personnel. Can you find any good reference to at least one person promoting their business?

That's the most basic check to make and this does not cost you a single kobo from your pocket.
You can choose to call their contact phone numbers and email addresses as well to be very sure of who you are about to do business with.

The Internet is as good as being in a jungle, you need to walk with eyes on both sides. Confirm with true friends if possible before you patronize.
If you do a simple search in Google for OZ bulk SMS you would see this post on NairaLand https://www.nairaland.com/1566439/oz-bulk-sms-duped-me.
Simple hints like this one should make you first consider other opinions about your proposed business arrangement.

Also, I would like for the person in charge of OZ bulk SMS to come around on NL and stand for himself in this matter.

Brandnew2:
I've never seen a Nigerian bulk sms site that's mobile responsive.
Kindly show me one if you have because it's a very important factor for me.

Most modern sites are mobile responsive. You just need a theme that's well built using one of the modern CSS frameworks.
Something like Twitter Bootstrap - http://getbootstrap.com/ being the most popular one in use today.
Now to your comment about bulk SMS sites in Nigeria that are mobile responsive, have you tried out [size=14pt]www.EbulkSMS.com[/size].

There's also a mobile app for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.humanaware.ebulksms which is really very well designed.

Business / Re: Mastercard Card Or Visa Card: Which Nigerian Banks Offer The Cheapest And Best by doctorfox: 9:42am On May 09, 2015
I think Zenith is a bit fine for most Naira Mastercard transactions.
Trouble with them is that the exchange rate amount they use can be quite high.
Say for instance you want to pay $100 online.
And the official market exchange rate at the time of your payment is $1 to N200.
If you pay with your Zenith card, expect that the exchange rate they will use for you will be $1 to N213
Although this figure may be reconciled later on to about $1 to N209. But that depends on unknown factors.

GT bank also has a similar exchange practice but can be worse initially.
It appears as though GTbank marks your account once you make the first foreign payment within a period of 30 days.

Now let's take the $100 online payment example again.
With GTB, for your first payment, you may get an initial exchange rate of $1 to N219 (yes VERY HIGH!)
Then they put some more of your money under hold (still wondering why?). After about 2-3 weeks they will reconcile your account and charge you a certain rate which depends on how frequently you have used the card to pay online.
If it is your first time, you may get an exchange rate of about $1 to N208. However, if you are a frequent user, you will likely get it at $1 to N216.
Note: the more frequently you pay with your GT Naira Mastercard, the higher the exchange rate they will charge you!


I don't know about First bank, but if anyone here has used their Naira Mastercard then let's know how they work.

Webmasters / Re: Solution To Sms Sending Failed Unit (bulk Sms Website) by doctorfox: 3:18pm On May 03, 2015
Could you rephrase your question as the problem isn't very clear.
Is it that when people try to send SMS from your platform sometimes it displays an error message of "sms sending failed units"
I think errors like this one could come from either your platform or your provider's platform.

Also, what is your platform built on - Joomla, PHP, ASP.Net?
Are you a reseller to another local platform?

Does anyone here know the cost of executing this project. Who is the contractor that constructed this road.
I guess when the tax burden becomes heavier people will start digging up these facts to demand more from the government.

As it is, anything is good for the people. The never really desired much, so giving them just anything at any price is well deserved.

Please note that it's 1.5 units per SMS at N1.20 (regular) N0.85 (reseller).
"Unit per SMS to all Nigerian GSM Networks except MTN and GLO which is 1.5 Units respectively"

SMS price >>

Normal user: 1.5 * N1.20 = N1.80

Reseller: 1.5 * N0.85 = N1.275

Phones / Re: 0700-nairaland by doctorfox: 10:45am On May 22, 2013
The 0700 numbers can be obtained from Alpha Technologies.
The pricing varies as it's basically a redirection service that transparently forwards your calls from the 0700 number to another line which you can manage. There's also support for IVR to auto respond to calls to your 0700 number.

You can visit www.alphatechnologieslimited.com for more information on how to obtain 0700 numbers.
For the bulk sms try

It's very easy to use and works smoothly.
Technology Market / Re: Best Bulk SMS provider in Nigeria? by doctorfox: 12:03pm On May 18, 2013
There will always be opinions about what service is the best. I would say - take a look, try and see.

Having subscribed to many bulk SMS services in Nigeria, we observed that there was a lack of concern shown by most of these single-run businesses for their customers.

This is also in addition to most of their sites just being clones that fraught with defects that are similar. Messages that are sent once end up being billed twice, user interfaces that are hard to navigate on some browsers, etc.

For this reasons we decided to set up a service for ourself - www.ebulksms.com. One that we would use and share with others who are willing to leave without the stress and agony of poor services.

There are myriads of bulk SMS sites out there, but you will not find many like www.ebulksms.com

Here's what Mr. Bill Gates thinks about the numbers being circulated about growth and development in Africa: http://www.thegatesnotes.com/Books/Development/Poor-Numbers

Most people are aware of this. However, it is important to look at what Africa (Africans) currently spend the most money on from outside Africa.
Check out what category the largest imports to Nigeria fall into. Also find out what industries have the largest value in Africa in terms of future sales volume forecast.

Those who really want development are being stifled by "the situation we found ourselves in...".

Politics / Re: What Is Your Definition Of Development? by doctorfox: 12:29am On May 15, 2013
These problems you highlighted are very valid and hold water. However, looking at the source of this revenue is also very important.
Nigeria as a nation is highly dependent on the price of crude oil for it's expenditure (budget). This over dependence we saw during the deliberation between the executive and the legislative over the benchmark price of crude oil to be used for the 2013 budget (finally settled at $79 per barrel).

Now, the Federal Government deducts its spending from the revenue and the rest is shared amongst the states. This is where we have a problem.
As most states know there is a monthly allocation for them, many state governments became solely dependent on this allocation and ignored the internally generated revenue of the state. Lagos state however, partially awoke to this realisation when a former president withheld the state's allocations for years.

Most states are still dependent on the federal allocations which is partly spent on paying salaries, white elephant projects, and the rest embezzled. Any little form of IGR goes unaccounted for as the states executive conspire with their legislatives to allocate these to themselves using schemes and projects that never get past the first phase.

Accountability and freedom of information still has a long way to go for us to see development in Nigeria.

CROWÉ: Nigeria's problem is not corruption, corruption is a symptom. The constitution has more power over us than I you know, the document is impractical and flawed in its very foundation and fails to properly define many things, with the acceptance of the 1999 constitution into law we were guaranteed to be were we are today.

Nigeria has two root problems, both caused by the constitution.

1: Revenue allocation system: The system of putting all our monies in the national account and sharing it completely makes doing bases at the state level impossible, this is state communism and communism doesn't work, if every state is entitled to what they make then they can succeed but not under the current system. let me explain further, if the federal government takes 50% of the money(i know they take even more) and share the other 50 across the rest of the states each states has control over 1/36 x 50% of monies, that is 1.38%. Each state governor on average is in control of 1.4% of his states financial destiny. It cannot be said that the governor is in control and the other people who have over 90% of the control are not interested, developing our states will never happen and the states are 99.23% of the country, that is more or less everything so power over our states is given to people whom are constitutionally guaranteed to not care about them, how can we develop.

2: Poor implementation of federalism, basically the regional governments depend too much on the central government and cannot do their jobs effectively, this in connection with the first is why public infrastructure goes to waste, because the states cannot afford to maintain them. Since the states are heavily dependent on the centre they mostly lose the ability to govern and the entire federal government is undermined.

So you see, the system in itself does not work and things like corruption begin to set in, if we but redo our constitution from the ground up we will in one move eradicate 70-80 % of Nigeria's problems. The nation should be ruled by the states and not the central government.
