Hi everyone. It's been a very long time i visited my favourite PNF. Hope y'all are doing great.
Wishing you all a very prosperous new year.
Remember that life is only a vapour. One minute you see it, the next minute it's gone. The one who gives us eternal life is Jesus and he's coming soon. very soon.
My regards to all your families.

Happy New Year everyone, welcome to 2008, i tried posting during the Holidays with my celtel awoof connection, but the post came out blank.
Dapsy i hope you have deleted that your 'Amebo' post because i dont want them to block the loophole o.

When is someone gonna put something for mtn?
No one is saying anything again about the 3G. Was that a starter gun misfire on the 3G RACE? Was thinking by now we would have this thread bursting with posts on new apps and services due to 3G. Instead we are still sitting on our hands waiting.

The truth is that no-one anybody knows has used this 3G thing. A friend of mine spoke with someone he knows at Glo, for example, and was told that management has instructed customer service reps to tell enquiring customers that their Glo 3G Plus ads were just marketing. Imagine.
Of course, we all know the same is true for MTN: the announcement was just a marketing/publicity stunt.
When we experience it, we'll talk about it.
Happy New Year, everyone!

So are you guys at least getting 3G reception? I mean if these companies promise service they're unable to provide its false advertising.
Down here in SA it happens a lot over the summer months when people have money to spend the marketing departments of companies come up with all sorts of schemes to get a share of the pie- which sometimes involves false advertising.

Hi... back from my hometown. Two weeks of sleep n doing nothing.
Happy New Year. Wishing y'all a super 2008.
Coola's Nominations for The Unofficial Proudly Nigerian Awards 2007:
1.HONORARY AWARD OF 2007(MALE)
Demmy's award should be changed to "Halley's Comet Pop-in Award" for consistently popping-in at regular intervals. (Like I am SURE he will pop-in to reply this post
)
2.HONORARY AWARD OF 2007(FEMALE)
Tilly? Who is she???? The Award should be dropped. (BTW, she is the only PNF I have met personally and she is here in Abuja on NYSC.)
3.MOST CONSISTENT POSTER AWARD(MALE)
AYA still deserves this award.
4.MOST CONSISTENT POSTER AWARD(FEMALE)
Angelgirl's Award should be changed to PNF's "First Lady for Life" Award for her incredible Consistency and Commitment.
5.MOST ENGAGING POSTER
Abu deserves an Award for being controversial. He must respond to every argument. (Dokubo Asari Award? Or Bob Mugabe Award?)
6.POSTMASTER OF THE YEAR
Esato Mods have largely ignored us so we can drop this one
7.MOST ASSISTS AWARD
This should be shared between several PNF members.
8.FRESH AIR AWARD
Nah. Babu. Coola is the big loser this year. Except there is an award for Filling-in-the-blanks Award.
9.LUCKY POSTER AWARD
Lucky Poster... who got that 8000th post again?
10.FRIEND OF THE FORUM
Brix's Award should be cancelled... he has become a honourary Nigerian. He is an Ijaw from the Niger-Delta region. "Brix" is short for "Biririkoko". Once I get married, I will start organising a curvaceous wife for him.
11.MISSING IN ACTION AWARD
AreaFada should be removed from the "Missing in Action" Awardees. Some may never return so MIA should be -maybe- RIP
12.VICIOUS WOLF AWARD
Vicious Wolf Award? Let's replace it with an Award that encourages PNF ppl to venture into other forums and maybe get some post points.

No way! I haven't, and no-one I know has. Nigerian GSM operators are reknowned for false advertising. We've seen more than enough of such over the years.
Posted by ambyzown
@Aya: There is 3G reception in some locations but I guess thats all there is to it. I was in Lagos for the holidays, and around my mechanic's workshop there was 3G on Glo, so I tried browsing and each time the phone connected to packet data through gprs. Isn't UMTS supposed to be the default data bearer and gprs the fall back in case of 3G failure?
Happy New year all

Yes; it is - if the 3G network is active (and of course your phone is set to dual-mode, so it handles the switch automatically).
Posted by abubakar
@coola:lol! Its the Bob Mugabe award.
@aya: it still doesnt make sense. I would expect once they started crying wolf it would keep resonating. But just a few crys (simultaneously by glo and mtn) then silence. Mtel should have coo coo joined and said 4.5G! But as the signal is out, the equipement and software should be up and running. If they cant handle the traffic of launching in a few major towns they should at least offer the services in an obscure side of one major town. Thats how MTN originally spread around naija, setting up one mast in a town then heralding "MTN NOW IN .......". Crooks!

*131*phone number*amount*your pin#send But you and the recepient need to be registered on me2u.
You're really very serious about this your pay to click stuff. Let me know when u find a genuine site
Seems like the Celtel free browsing has been blocked. I've been unable to browse since Friday. I keep getting the "connection failure, check settings or contact ur operator" error. Who else is getting this.

Hello, Dammy
how are you doing? I tried checking your site but it did not open.
Kindly check it and also I like this thread as I am also a Nigeria.
Cheers

@okoji: Welcome to the thread. Hope you made it to this post!! Most people just see the first posts, dont bother checking datesor the page/post number and dont realize how much gist has passed.
@all: Someone please get some on when any of the GSM operator will release 3.5G. When to the MTN site to get info but its a big billboard about how "The Future is Here!!" ..... when its not!

Happy New Year to all the returnees.
I will like to hear from all of you about the Mobile Banking facilities that are available in your bank.
Skye Bank sends me a txt when there is a credit or debit to my account. I cannot check my balance or do any other thing from my phone.
Skye Bank has a new product called SkyeMobile that is being advertised this morning in the Guardian. After sending for it, I have been told that my LG is "not supported". My Motorola is saying "bad gateway error".
I have not been able to activate the same thing in my UBA. But the UBA ATM card notifies me of my transactions.
I am interested about Oceanic. Anyone on Oceanic?
Posted by ambyzown
@Coola: I maintain accounts in Intercontinental bank as well as Bank PHB and I frequently use their internet banking portals to check balances, view transaction history and confirm cheques.
I guess your skye bank account also enables you to do this. But you need to register for it first.

There is an Interswitch scam being sent via SMS. I have received two:
"Our systems are being upgraded. You are to register your ATM cards online at www.interswitchngatm.net, You card will no longer work if you do not register NOW!"
Y'all beware.
@Amby: So Intercontinental Bank has nothing for Mobile phones?

@Cool, How can i get my UBA Atm to notify me of my transactions?
@Mikky, Check your PM
Posted by mikkyroy
Angelgirl, when you use your ATM card with the machine, you can print out transaction inquiries from your account.
Coola: Thanks for sharing the info

Mikky I know, what i want is a notification on my phone by text message, telling about a withdrawal or deposit that has just taken place on my account.

I made my fiancee open a UBA account... what was I thinking? She reminded me of the fact when I was telling her to open a new account with Oceanic. Oh UBA!
To enter the bank u have to queue (only two of those funny doors that speak funny accent "Go back and remove the metal object....Thank you for your cooperation!")
To use the ATM, there is another queue.
To check ur account balance... queue
To put in money in her account... queue.
@Uchrik... U may have a point. Angelgirl, run! I did 4 years ago.

@Uchrik and amby: Thanks guys!

Thanks you are for all your suggestions and help about the ATM, I remembered i have a savings account with Diamond, i just applied for their ATM today, those guys are also good with sms notification. Does anyone have their ATM? How good are they with ATM and Sms notifications, cause i know they always bombard my inbox with seasons greetings and promos.
