Teeboy22:
how do I go about it......tnx....nd pls how abt the glo bis. stuff...I heard it also works on android

Glo bis doesn't work on android

Teeboy22:
pls does the airtel 1k 3,gig works on Android

Nope it doesn't...I just experienced it and I'm still following up with airtel to reverse it so I can subscribe to a plan that works

Airtel works on BlackBerry 10 devices but it's not cheap data like glo data

mekstaniac:
Glo is still the best option mehn. Dis airtel 3gb for 1k is scam. Even on 2g, my data drains way too fast. Probably the 3gb displaying here is deceit

walcolm:
Believe me you're not going to get 3gb of data...you'll only get 1gb
Looks like airtel has finally figured out a way to ensure data billing is the same across board
So long as you're using BlackBerry 10 or android and iPhone, data is 1gb for 1k even if you subscribe to the 3gb for 1k bis plan...it's only legacy BlackBerry devices running OS7 and below that can access the full data
The logic is simple....those devices are too slow to consume all that data so they don't mind giving it but for modern devices with capacity for big data, data is more expensive

The quote above is the answer to your observation

How can I subscribe for dat?


Airtel 1k for 3gig

1500 naira for 3gb, *435#

Just so you know, you only get 1.5gb when you use this plan on Android and BlackBerry 10 devices

yomifola:
House please.. wanna ask a simple question. I move from one location to another and where I moved to, Glo network na beans so I just have to switch to Etisalat. Please, can I use Etisalat Bis for my BBz30? If yes, how can I go abt it?


If No, how much is Etisalat sub. For BlackBerry 10?

Thx

If you do a simple search on this thread you'd see the answer to the question

No you cannot use etisalat bis on BlackBerry 10 devices. You have to buy the expensive BlackBerry 10 data plan that etisalat offers

Nonsense! so because Tarfa is a lawyer he cannot be arrested? If his hands are clean, then the NBA and it's rank of corrupt SANs should have nothing to worry

The judiciary in this country can move forward if the current corrupt and greedy lawyers and judges are purged from the system

If you want to defend an accused person you must have no skeleton in your cupboard

BlackBerry world not opening is a wierd occurrence. Just noticed the same thing. Will try to connect to wifi to see if it will open

Will share anything I find out

the part i dont get is that almost all these people making noise about the negotiable N1/mille maintenance charge have been happily paying N5/mille COT for many years...now that the burden has been reduced by N4/mille, we are making noise and calling CBN/CBN governor/FGN names

in simple terms, COT at N5/mille translates to the bank taking N500 + 5% tax from your account every time you withdraw 100k. Now however, the bank can only take a maximum of N100+5% tax from your account and even that amount can be negotiated downwards which is why the CBN called it negotiable!!!! but we are making noise and calling everybody names... i really don't get it

Once u run out on this data, do the 1.5k for 3gb plan. S yourself the stress

you have to get a pC with stable internet connection. download and install BlackBerry Link.
open the program and connect your device to the PC with the usb cable that cane with your device
BlackBerry Link will detect your device and you should look for the option to update your device. leave the rest to the PC

Mobile Hotspot taxes your network radio which in turn taxes your battery

Your device radio is receiving GSM signal and also acting as a transmitter at the same time which will require a lot of power and that makes your battery hot....once your battery becomes hot it will loose charge very fast....remember your secondary school conservation of energy principles

Solution, keep your device plugged in when you're using it a Hotspot and keep your device on a cool surface to keep the battery temp down

You're welcome

go to settings, software update and you should see the update

mikeljims:
Please a friend installed a developer version of os 10.3.1.634 on my q10 which is of course missing several apps. Please anybody with any possible means to get back the missing apps or any better solution out of this

Tnx.

just install the latest official version on the device....everybody is on 10.3.2.xxxx....wondering what you're still doing with an archaic OS

PNomsule:
Hello Walcolm, I'm gladdened u are willing to help. Kindly, could u give me the step by step method to tracking back my saved contacts as I'm sure I never switched off the backup option.

just reconfigure your email address on the phone

go to 'seetings' -> 'accounts'

add the email addresses (yahoo, gmail etc) you had on the phone previously, and you should be able to see all the contacts in your phone book again

PNomsule:
Hopefully someone here could be of immense help; I recently had my Z10 OS upgraded to the latest software because it was turning off at will, my qualm now is that the technician told me he can't backup my data except it's transferred to an M-stick which we did, sadly my contacts were lost cos he claimed it couldn't be backed-up and although I previously enabled BlackBerry Protect yet I still can't track my contacts. Is it possible that the technicians claim was correct, also is BlackBerry Protect useless in this circumstance? Your sustained and trusted opinion will be appreciated greatly.

Unless you specifically switched off th option, all phone numbers you have ever saved to your z10 are in the contacts for your email address that you had configured on the phone

StreamerBlogger:
Been trying to upgrade ma q5 bur it's saying storage not enough... And it's brand new.. Please wah can I do

Q5 only has 8gb internal storage with about 6gb usable out of the box. To upgrade OTA you need at least 4gb unhindered space which is impossible once u start installing apps

Your option is to use a pc with BlackBerry link for the update

In BlackBerry 10, all devices can be on the same OS version. Just install the latest official OS that has been pushed to your device and stop worrying

Osinitu:
Good day tech gurus, special regards to walcolm,
Please I downloaded blackberry link but upon installation it's giving an error message that the installiation couldn't continue I tried downloading again I got the same response. I am thinking maybe because I run 64 bit operating system. Please has anyone encountered such problem?? Is blackberry link for 64 bit different??

Thanks

Cc walcolm

which site did you download from...all my systems are 64bit so i know thats not the problem...if you downloaded the program from your PC it will only download the 64bit version that's suitable for your PC

download directly from BlackBerry website

Chimaritoponcho:
please I need help on how to take screenshots on my Q5

Press the Vol +/- button at the same time

Akell:
Walcolm, please what could be the issue? Just few days ago, anytime I minimise any app on my Z30, such an app closes/ crashes. Just this evening, my phone browser crashed while it's active. What can I do to rectify the problem? Thanks!!!

What OS version are you on?

smartigo:
I am currently subscribed to that plan and is working fine. To check your data just dial *141*1# then press 1 you will get a text displaying your data.

@walcolm pls what is the difference btw airtel 1k for 3G n 1.5k for unlimited 3G?

[size=18pt]I finally figured out the difference!!! [/size]

both plans give you 3GB data cap but the 'unlimited' means the data is not limited to Legacy BlackBerry Devices!!!!!...which is why it is 1.5k while the other is 1k and cannot be used on androids

The Facebook for BlackBerry 10 app has not been updated in months and is generally broken. You're not alone and it's no fault of yours

oloriTj:
please house my bbm channel feed isn't updating unless I restart my phone what could be the problem?

I think it's a problem with bbm channel and the OS...you don't need to worry about it, it's not peculiar to your device

drakura:
please am having issues with my WhatsApp, if I delete a contact from my phone book it still shows on my WhatsApp contact list...pls what should I do

you allowed whatsapp to copy your contacts to their servers so the contacts you see on whatsapp are now independent of what's on your device... i don't see how that's a problem

if you don't want to see the contact, delete it also from whatsapp

just go to blackberry.com website and click the link to the 'support' page...you'll find a link to download BB Link and BB Blend etc

Osinitu:
Good evening 'brosssses'

Please I have a complaint. I tried updating my BlackBerry z3 OS for the first time to 10.3...., when it got to 2% it started complaining that I should free more memory. I cleared all the data on the phone to the memory card to the point that the memory card even crashed( very painful as I lost most of my files) yet it was still complaining that I should free more memory, at that point a tech guy suggested I performed a security swipe which I did.

After the swipe, I started the update again till it downloaded up too 100% then it started installing I dropped the phone to check something else as the installiation was going on, only for me to return and discover that instead of installing it started the download again......,i was so passed at this point but I left it to continue the download. After abt 10% download it staryed complaining that I should free some memory when nothing was on it.....

Please I want to ask what the way forward is, any suggestions as to what I did wrong and how I can right the wrong??thanks

Cc walcolm

i take it you were updating OTA? if you use that method, your device will update 'cumulatively' meaning some older updates are required to be downloaded and installed before newer ones can be installed which is why you experienced what you have experienced...with some of the updates requiring as much as 4GB of free unhindered space from the measly 8GB internal memory on the Z3, its almost impossible to do OTA updates

the solution is to use BlackBerry Link for the Update...BB Link will download the update file to the PC (could be as large as 1.5GB), Unpack it to the PC (another 1.5GB-2GB) and Install the required files to the device

so my friend, don't loose hope ...all you need is a PC/Laptop with stable internet connection, BlackBerry Link program installed on the PC and a USB cable to connect the Z3 to the PC/Laptop

the easiest was to find out is to put the sim in your Q10 and see if the phone is able to access data...pls note that Etisalat specifically blocks the normal BIS data from working on BB10 devices because they have BB10 data plan which is priced at the android data rate

so my guess is that your 900MB will definitely work on the Q10

tijusegele:
Also can d 1k 3gb airtel data work on Q10 if it work am I limited 2 sum stuff. Tanxz

All Airtel data plans work on BlackBerry 10 devices
