i can always wait till wed, pls help me reserve 2 pieces and can it go for the 40k?

can the bold 3 go for 40? if it can i want to pick up 2 pieces

pls can the bold3 go for 40? if it can then i'ld be at ur place to pick up 2 bold3, so can it go for 40? plssssss?

question is, is this yo' first time of subscribing to the bis since you got the phone? if yes then depending on the kind you got, new or fairly used, if fairly used, then its most likely the apps have been tampered with, whatever the problem maybe, an upgrade would def. solve the problem. funny enough, i just upgraded my bold 1 to the 5.0 yesterday and some lil problems i used to experience are no more. you'll need the bb desktop manager and then go to crackberry.com to download the update then run yo' desktop manager, it'll automatically see the update then you install! mine took approximately 20 mins to update but depending on yo' computer specs, it could take much longer

very cheering news

use the dm internet settings. specfically the internet.ng.zain, apn. you should also note that i use the 6.0 version of the desktop software which has been availaible only since a couple weeks back
.

i use the normal dm settings, its really not hard to configure now

i use the airtel bis and even though i agree that the network can be aweful atimes, its still considerably manageable for me. and who says you cant use yo' bb as a modem anymore? i still do! matter o' fact, its the connection am posting with now and as far as am concerned, thats the only consolation for their poor services. i havent really experienced what you guys go through with services not working for days, i've always browsed steady, just that the pages might load up a bit slow and a major snag ia that downloading is almost impossible as you experience frequent and agonising interruptions. another thing is that y'all might wanna consider upgrading yo' bb softwares to the 5.0 or 6 if u still on 4.6 as the internet reception on the newer softwares work faster (its a practical experience) plus airtel now has daily and weekly plans. not sure how much the weekly plan goes for but the daily plan goes for 200 bucks. just sms bisday or bisweek to 440. what i still dont understand is why networks like airtel restrict their 3g network to post paid subs only! i mean wtf why hoarding the damn thing! and it seems to be the reason mtn comes off better - 3g! but heard a while ago that airtel has started expanding their 3g coverage and theres a likelyhood that they'ld extend the service to pre paid subs. am not counting on that tho

plus i wouldnt know if zain is the only network that allows it but i,ve got friends on mtn who said they've not been able to use the modem mode and even when they do, it eats up their credit

i use the bb desktop software 4.6. not much difference with the 5.0. you just click on the 'mobile internet' option at the bottom left corner and it connects immediately. the speed is ok at least for opening web pages but not very reliable when downloading. and yes its an unlimited bundle. you are simple extending your bis function. unless yo' bis comes with a bundle thats
limited which i dont think is applicable to any network

i also use the airtel bis and i'ld agree with you to an extent. its ok when using the bbm but poor when surfing the web thru the default bb browser. i've found a viable alternative in bolt and operamini browsers for blackberry cuz the load web pages a lot faster unlike the default browser that loads pages real time and could take a while to load all the elements especially large web pages. the only consolation with the airtel bis is that it allows your bb to be used as a modem on your computer conveniently

i use zain

Get the BB desktop software. I currently use my bold 9000 as a modem without any hitches

note that am seriously interested tho. Once its confirmed available, i'ld be at your doorstep first thing friday

alright then, i'ld be awaiting your notification.

alright then, i'ld be awaiting your notification.

pheesayor:
you have to visit the nearest Airtel shop close to you. I activated mine 3 days ago, before then I had called customer over and over again but they couldn't get it to work. I went to their shop on Oba Akran in Ikeja and It started working immediately. Spare some time and visit the closest Airtel shop to you.

pls whats the speed like? And is it 3 G?

Call charges on new tarrif is 12 naira per minute, one of the lowest in the industry. But, subscribers will have to pay a 36 naira per day to benefit

36 naira!?! That's about 1k of free money to Airtel per month, whether or not you make calls. This is a massive sting in the tail & takes the shine off what would otherwise have been a much-welcome price cut.  Airtel needs to do better. We need a proper price war to give MTN something to think about.

This report is very misleading. You dont pay any access charge to use airtels 2good package. The said 36naira is only the charge for the first minute call you make within 24hours while you are subsequently charged 20k/sec for the remaining duration of your call. Sounds like a fair deal if ya ask me and unarguably the lowest tarrif currently.

COMPAQ:
Is it really much of a reduction by Airtel? I guess they have figured that the average conversation is about 2 minutes. The blended effect of 60k/sec for 1 minute and 20k/sec for 1 minute results in N24/min which isn't much lower than current rates.

you probably didnt get the information correctly. Its 60k/sec for the first minute call of the day and not the first minute of every call made. I use airtel and since this package was launched and i've withnessed first-hand, the benefits, i can only deduce that the good times are here at last!
