I hate smokin. chokes me. smokers stink. can't stand 'em. try & stop cos it could just kill u. @Niterider stop tryin 2 regulate d threads. we're all here to express ourselves & there are as many opinions as nairalanders. u seem to stalk people everywhere.

@Fdeveloper
i think you have a lot of research to do. stop comparing WAP and GPRS. WAP is the protocol (Wireless Application Protocol - which most mobile phones use to browse the net) while GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is the platform. the other platform Vmobile has is CSD (Circuit Switched Data) and am sure no one is talking about that here.
and yes, Vmobile can have 2 APNs. 1 for WAP access and the other for HTML - for people who want to browse on their PC using their phones as modems. of course HTML people will generate a lot of traffic compared to WAP phones. so it's better to have a separate APN 'cos of congestion issues. infact i'm suspecting they temporarily blocked the activation of that internet.vmobile APN 'cos of people like us who download endlessly.

if you still aren't convinced, check this link - http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
u'll discover that most of the UK telcos have separate APNs for Pay-As-You-Go and CONTRACT subscribers. this is obviously for different reasons but it effectively rules out your assumption that a telco cant have 2 APNs for the same service.

and of course they can temporarily/permanently block an APN if they think its not serving their purpose any longer. PLS do a little reading on networking.
cheers.

no no no no! abioye! you're wrong on this.
NICON & TRANSCORP are two diffrent companies. the Abuja Hilton hotel (formerly Nicon Hilton) was acquired not long ago by Transcorp and the name was changed to TRANSCORP HILTON ABUJA. It stopped being Nicon Noga Hilton a long time ago.
NICON Group is a group of companies whose chairman is Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim. They recently acquired EAS Airlines.
Find out about Transcorp here http://www.transcorpnigeria.com
Check those newspapers of yours for more accurate information about NICON Group.

Fdev i think Vmobile's case is quite peculiar. They have wap.vmobile which every1 uses for wap access. There is also internet.vmobile for web access (thru ur PC). Unfortunately the latter was not provisioned for most people's SIMs. People who use it claim it's faster than d WAP AP. There's another thread on d "Phones" page. (Connectin Vmobile or somethin) Check it out & c Drogba's comments there.

lemme have the procedure pls. anything can still happen since no one knows when they'll start billing. thanks.

hi drogba.
i have the wap setting activated on my phone and i can browse with it on my PC though much slower than mtn's. is there a way i can make vmobile activate the web access point (internet.vmobile) for me. whenever i try to use it, it says "subscribe to gprs first", which wap.vmobile doesn't do. forget about their customer care though, at least in my own experience with them.
i've tried to subscribe for it from nokia website but it sends the same vmobile wap settings (with wap.vmobile rather than internet.vmobile).
your response will be appreciated. thanks.

Ibrahim i dont av any workin MTN access point right now but Vmobile is still free & its more reliale than it used to be. Cheers.

i believe google should pay cos its good business for them, more traffic. soon u'll start seeing ads for chewin sticks, kolanuts, "aso ebi", preserved "moin-moin" leaves etc on google. i dont mind some google shares if i translate for them. SEUN whats d "further translation" u talked about? is it local or foreign languages? lets know pls. am interested.

now these r d good guys. thumbs up SBU n YNOT.

interesting. are u organising it? where is it supposed to hold? which of the roads?

This is pure 419! Dont go there. No employer will ask u for money for any reason. Dont say i didn't tell you.

i haven't heard anythin from them too. should we assume they got overwhelmed with applications and coodnt sort things out on time? well, patiently waitin,
