PhonesRe: Please I Really Ned Ur Help Concerning My Bold 2 by walcolm(m): 7:04am On Nov 03, 2011
yea, the problem is that your device is not registering on the network which will prevent the service books from getting to you

check options->advanced options->service books and see if you have a long list in there

better still, if you have a Desktop manager installed on a PC and you have done a backup sometimes in the past, just plug your bb to the PC and restore

And hw do we get the email address? Plz explain to us abt d BB email
go to blackberry.com and try to open the appworld link or look for blackberry ID, the website will walk you through the process of setting up a blackberry ID

like i said in my earlier post, its not a new email address you use, you just use an existing email like yahoo, hotmail or gmail that is traditionally used by you on your BB. you know you are allowed to set up your emails on your bb so messages sent to you by your friends get to your bb. just use that email address

Most landlords, I gather, have exploited the law by hiking the amount to be paid for one year's rent. They now charge the same money of 2 years for one year. How can you explain what I learnt that a 3 bedroom in yaba is going for 750k.
thats not entirely true, my apartment in yaba was 1 million almost 2yrs ago. yeah 3bedroom flat

that had nothing to do with tenancy law and i saw many apartments like that in the yaba axis that are priced at a premium

ndu_chucks:
There is no falsity in my previous post. Most people are not aware of the contents of the oath of allegiance that must be taken by all immigrants who wish to become United States citizens. They take the oath at the last minute when they are too excited to change their minds. Once again the supreme court of Nigeria is yet to rule on the matter. I reproduce the United states Oath of Allegiance below:

The current oath is as follows:
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God
can you put the link to the location of this OATH quote? i'd like to have a look
PropertiesRe: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by walcolm(m): 10:23am On Nov 02, 2011
personally i think most landlord (at least the educated ones) have seen that this law even favors them. most of these guys have collected 2yrs rent in the past and know that waiting for 2yrs to see revenue from an investment is not fun

i'd rather have a sure inflow yearly on a property.that way i have more control on how soon i can terminate a bad contract, if the market moves and an increase in rent is justifiable i'm not tied to a 2yr contract that prevents me from benefiting from that movt
Car TalkRe: The Implications Of Buying A Vehicle With High Odometer Reading? by walcolm(m): 10:19am On Nov 02, 2011
look at it from a lifecycle analogy

vehicles are built to cover a technical distance within their useful life. if a car is built to technically cover 250,000km in its useful life time and you buy it at 180,000km then you have 70,000km to go on the car

note that it doesnt mean the car will stop working after the 250,000km, it just means all bets are off

so if you pay 3m for a SUV with 70,000km to go and a brand new of the same SUV is 6m, are u getting value for the money you're doling out?

same tin is also noticeable with apple products. i havent discovered any difference in function or sumfin. Sumone on facebook said its pure racism, lol, kinda agree to that. U might have a different opinion, probably am missin out on sumfin.
you're asking a question that doesnt mean anything in the world of business, if a particuar version of a device sells more than the other, the law of demand and supply says it will run out quicker and become pricier

check my earlier post for the explanation
PhonesRe: Why Should A White Coloured Blackberry Cost More Than The Black Coloured Model by walcolm(m): 7:57am On Nov 02, 2011
Lord_Reed:
It's a deliberate action by retailers in Nigeria to exploit the ignorance of the people. RIM does NOT distinguish price of Blackberry phones based on the colour of the phone. Besides the people have come to associate white with superior hence the myth is perpetrated to the delight of the retailers pocket.

Hear it now white BB and black BB are the same price you simply being exploited!
i really dont think anybody associates 'white' with superior performance.

its all about vanity and fashion, ipods were created originally in white and became iconic & a cool fashion statement. to hold a white electronic accessory became very fashionable and other manufacturers started trying to appeal to their customers and even win new ones by creating white version of their devices
PhonesRe: Glo Data Bonus Offer by walcolm(m): 7:28am On Nov 02, 2011

Not really. The free data bonus is given as a result of your recharge made. So, you will automatically losed all your free data bonus, if you were having before, when you change your current package/plan.
So, ensure that you don't change your plan.
i think you just hit the nail on the head, i changed from glo classic to one of the newer packages and noticed my free call credit was wiped, and i had close to a thousand bucks so i guess my accumulated data was also removed by those MFs huh angry

FamilyRe: My Friend's Wife-to-be Is Pregnant For His Cousin by walcolm(m): 3:52pm On Nov 01, 2011
i think what your friend can do now is revoke her travel papers if it is within his powers to do so, that way, the girl wont run away leaving his cousin behind. if she can betray him, she will eventually betray his cousin

i'm not even going to comment on the cousin's issue. if the cousin has been balling his babe in his house, i'd encourage him to shut down the house, rent it out, sell off his properties in the apartment and take his money with him abroad. i'm sure his cousin can fend for himself at least he didnt do so badly fu-king the brains of his supposed fiancee out
PhonesRe: Black Berry Update by walcolm(m): 8:02am On Nov 01, 2011
depends on what type of update you have in mind

there are 2 types

1. Blackberry OS
2. Apps

for 1, you need a software called blackberry desktop manager installed on a PC and you need to download the latest device driver software for your BB. you use the desktop manager to install the device driver on your bb by connecting your bb via a usb to the PC

for 2, you need to install blackberry appstore on your bb, get a BB ID which is essentially an email address and that email address must also be configured to send mails to your BB and a passowrd. once you have that, you can update all the apps on your bb and get new apps

luluosas:
That means, you actually don't have any free data bonus. So, I will advice you to connect using glosecure settings. Ensure that you note your airtime. Then, if you are connected, disconnect of pause your browser to check your airtime balance. If you are charged, it means no free data bonus available for you. If you are not charge, then, dial 124,1, you should be able to hear your data balance. Take care.
is there a specific plan u need to be on to get free data on recharge?

PhonesRe: What Happens To Unregistered Phone Lines by walcolm(m): 2:16pm On Oct 28, 2011
registration of sim is not a project that will stop, it will eventually evolve into a call centre activity that must happen before a new simcard is activated on the network.

eventually, numbers that are not registered will be expired and offered on fresh simcards to new subscribers. if you happen to have that number currently and u dont register it against your name, that simcard will become useless and u have to buy a new one but with no guarantee that the number will be available

PhonesRe: NCC Warns MTN, Airtel And Globacom Over Poor Quality Service by walcolm(m): 8:33am On Oct 28, 2011
lagerwhenindoubt:
They are just making this statement as a matter of record. let us try it this way

First Attack: All Subscribers to MTN, AIRTEL and Glo, sacrifice 2hrs of your day between 10:00AM and 12:00PM. DO NOT SEND SMS During this period, do it for 1 week. If that does not change their attitude
Second Attack: All Subscribers to MTN, AIRTEL and Glo, sacrifice 2hrs of your day between 10:00AM and 12:00PM. DO NOT MAKE CALLS During this period,

I guarantee you the networks will take action, if they think we are bluffing then do this

Final Attack: All Subscribers to MTN, AIRTEL and Glo, sacrifice 3hrs of your day between 1:00PM and 3:00PM. then between DO NOT MAKE CALLS/SEND SMS During this period,

I grant you they would have suffered so much loss they will have no choice but to shape up or ship out.

Lesson learned: If your protests falls on deaf ears - go for the balls and squeeze tightly wink
i generally laugh when i hear people post things like this

Guys, you all need to understand the networks make their money upfront before you make your call, once the major distributors buy the recharge card from them they have made their money, whether u make a call or u dont make a call doesnt mean anything to them

This guys amazes me !! The ATM machines in front of banks are not even safe from fraudsters yet , now they will want us to carry our cards to shops , What security measures have been put in place so I don't lose my money. All that is needed for a thief to rob you now is an internet connection "Logon and transfer your money or lose your life !!!" grin . Naija style of putting the cart before the horse .
so you think carrying your cash in your pocket is much safer than using electronic banking?

if a thief comes to your house and collects your cash, you think its easier to track him as opposed to tracking the movt of electronic money when he tells you to transfer your money online to an account that is named in a bank?

Ill-timed plan. Make Nigeria fully automated or set-up cashless payment systems prior to engaging in a draconia rule.
Good idea, but bad timing!
who is going to make nigeria fully automated? without this policy, what is the incentive for an average business to make POS terminal available for their customers to use? think about that

Does any one know if DOM a/c holders will be affected by the CBN cashless policy.
based solely on the phrasing of the policy, its supposed to be an integrated thing. the sum of all your daily cash transaction (emphasis on CASH) in any single bank must not exceed 150k. so if you decide to collect FX from your dom account and also plan on withdrawing from your savings account,it will all count
