anitank: No. it would ask me to contact my service provider

Anitank,

hotspotting is enabled on the airtel BIS, no APN settings necessary, just plug and play. you dont even have to subscribe to BIS with your simcard in a BB device. just put your airtel sim in any android, iphone, ipad or phablet of your choice and send short code to the appropriate number

mobile hotspotting is also enabled on the Etisalat network but just not on the BIS. you need to subscribe to regular data plan to use that feature. i have used it on Etisalat so i know that for a fact, the Etisalat network allows it. if you don't have a data plan and you enable it, your airtime credit will suffer

post a pic of the memory card in question

Currently, its only airtel that allows you to share your BIS data via hotspotting

glo has not enabled that feature while Etisalat and MTN charges your airtime for it

mz meeday: Hallos!!! Is it possible to use my etisalat bis on my galaxy pocket,that's av subscribed for etisalt monthly plan on my bb...??

you people need to spend a few minutes to find information rather than create a new thread everytime you have a question

this topic has already been overflogged on this forum

Wiz_khalifa: pls help... I use a Torch 9800. Nd i
subcribed 4 #1300 etisalat bis.. D problem
is,only my bbm is working.. My
appworld,social netwrk nd my browser
isnt working... I mean it isnt even
opening @ all. It shows me an error msg 'ur device does nt currently have any
browser configuration, service book
entries'.it is a brand new phone, at&t branded.. pls wot do i do??

etisalat social plans have limitations on the type of apps that work. you must have subscribed to an IM plan that allows you to use chats apps but no social media apps like facebook and twitter and no internet browsing

the best option for you will be the BB complete and its 1500 on etisalat

Onyeasi: From the above. Can a Blackberry phone browse without BIS using operamini. I experienced that I can do whatsapp without subcription. Your comment is highly welcomed. ₪☺ discrimination.

if you sim is provisioned for data, your BB internet app will ride on the data and i expect opera mini will also work.

this is what the pic of the GS3 apps look like

Cchi24: Thanx guy but plz where can i get a techno pc suite app

have you tried the internet?

will like to know about this app too..seen it a few times on BB appworld

trae_z: why are you asking? Anyways i presently browse with Glo...they've got the best reception in my axis.

Glo's Always MAX is now N7,500 for 8GB and MTN now charges N8,000 for 7.5GB So actually Airtel's 1gb for N1200 is not the cheapest anymore.

But its the best choice for mobile browsing where 1gb will be enough for a month, as other networks offer 1 gig for about N3k

that's true, thanx for sharing. i still give Airtel kudos for the freedom their BIS data gives sha

Etisalat Nigeria has a problem with CDMA balckberries so you'll probably not be able to use their BIS service

Goodboy2012: pls nd pls nd plz
..answa dese 2 unclear questnz...
Wit d way u said i wud return 2 d minimzd appz, i did it nd i could nt gt it...

Tnx in anticipatn

Goodboy2012: 356848040002364

if the IMEI you supplied is truly your phone's IMEI, then we should not be discussing because you don't have a Samsung GS3

Goodboy2012: Tnx.. My appz z nw savin on mem.card
lol bro
am jus a bit jittery ni o

lol...your apps wont save on memory card but anything you download from the internet, i.e. apk files, music and video files, office docs, pdf etc will all save on the memory stick.

with GS3 all applications install on the internal memory card

there's nothing to be jittery about...its just a phone and its not even the top dog phone in the world anymore.

Dextra: T-Mobile.
Can you help me unlock it?

Sorry Dex, i'm not a GSM engineer

Goodboy2012: whr exactly is it bro
And again, i do i choose wateva i download 2 always b saved on ma memory card nd nt phone ?

guy, the many, VERY basic questions you're asking are really now making me worry...it doesn't sound like you have the phone with you. you sound more like an 80yrs old person trying to figure out gsm

to answer this your question which i hope will be the last one, open the 'internet' app, tap the 'menu button', scroll down and select 'settings'. select 'advanced' and select 'default storage' choose 'memory card' from the list and close

muhds1: can you use this plans on a smartphone

any plan that can be activated on a sim card can be used on a smartphone....

anitank: i just found the solution to it. Glo does not support the feature on a blackberry (my blackberry, since u said urs worked). i used a friend's Airtel line and then i went to the device options and put in Airtel APN, username and password. It worked perfectly as i was able to connect my tablet to the internet on one touch.... and the speed was like .....

Thanks Lexusgs430. i owe more than one...

and when you put your glo sim back into your BB, was the hotspot still working?

Goodboy2012: tnx bro...

Miss_BEdazzle!:
I know it's been so long since someone posted here, but I really need advice. I want to purchase an android phone but I don't know if it's really usable in nigeria. Don't wanna have issues with configuration and excessive charges for internet subscription and am already so sick of the blackbeRry brand. Would appreciate any input. Thanks

almost every tom, dick and harry with smartphone in Naija that is not BB or iPhone is on android

Goodboy2012: Bro.. Abeg give me ur 2go id..
U reali need to hp me
.i think dat will be a faster reply

i don't use 2go

Goodboy2012: pls.. Help with airtel settings .. I jus subscribed 4 d 1gb plan... Help if u use airtel to browse wit sam,gal s3

it doesnt require any setting. just plug and play

so long as BIS has been activated on your airtel line, GS3 will access the data.

even if you use any other network and that SIM has been provisioned for data, GS3 will use data but the network will bill you on a PAYG basis and its more expensive

mjay: Its the latest operating system for Android, faster and smoother. You need to root your phone first to be able to load it cos its not yet available as an update. What version of S3 are you using? international or USA/Canada?

that's not correct. i have updated my GS3 to Jellybean about 3 weeks ago and i got the update notice directly on my phone

Dextra: Mine's got Samsung written behind and I got it for 90k, how Can I unlock it? It's from USA

there should also be Samsung written on the front at the top just below the speaker. is it carrier branded? i.e AT&T, Sprint etc.....if it is not, you don't need to unlock it

alstacs: Hello guys, I've made up my mind on buying a cyberpower 1.5kva inverter but a friend warned me that some inverters don't charge when the current is low or high. I have a friend who has luminous and he is thinking of giving it out now. Current in his area is low and doesn't charge the inverter and when he uses his generator, the current is too high.
Anyone with practical experience with Cyberpower with respect to charging?

been using cyberpower inverter for a while now. i know it alerts you when the current is low and even switches to battery so it can maintain the feed to the apartment at 220V. if the current stays low for a long period of time, then that could be a problem in the long term but if its an occasional thing, i don't think its anything to worry about

SpaceAngel: Can a 0.8kva sukam inverter charge two 12v 200Ah battery.

it should be able to charged them

1supremo: Mine is hermaphrodite. The only thing I see is an error message titled "Windows script host."

loooollllll. nice one

the billing address you use must be the same as that of the card you are using

from the screenshot you have posted, are you sure that address is the same as the one registered with your card?

Princejaponais: The menu says 1 complete blackberry monthly that will last for three months. What if you end the data allocated before the 3rd month kicks off? I think that is still not heavy user friendly.

once you run out of data, just subscribe again

Chitexs250: Any updates yet as regards to the Airtel BIS unlimited download

not sure airtel has plans of giving unlimited data

emma ugoh: Yes,u guys make sense here,pls I was browsing to know which data plan will make sense than the Airtel BSM,cos am using it in my laptop and the hec is not lasting up to two week,so guys which do you recommend,should I trust airtel and hit the 3 in 2 stuff,you know all this network in ninja you can trust them all the time......

what i do is just to renew the subscription once i run out of my 1GB data allowance. if you do the math, 1,200 * 2 subscriptions in a month comes to 2,400 for 2Gb of data.

it is still cheaper than paying 3,500 for 1.5Gb of data or paying 8,000 for 6Gb of data offered by other service provider

See your answers in bold

Goodboy2012: kudos 2 u man...
Dnt say ma questnz r 2 much bro,,,tnnx

Agaain, whch site can i download my Apps and games from...GOOGLE PLAYSTORE AND SAMSUNG APPSTORE are both on the phone. you need a GMAIL account for the playstore and any email of your liking for the Samsung store (you can use the same email for the two) both will give you access to more than 800,000 android apps
Again... Wen i bought d phone, it only had 3.46mb internal memory,wat happend ? Or d remainin memory is hidden somwhr? you need to get an external memory and you also need to delete previous pictures and videos sitting on the phone PS: are you sure you did not buy a stolen phone?

Pls kindly answer these questions...

Dextra: I want to know. Does Samsung s3 have china? as in fake. I just got one and it;s network locked.

YES, there's a Chinese device that looks exactly like the S3 from a distance but it doesn't have Samsung written on it
