@mamba: Thanks. FlashMe Cash is an elecctronic payment system by First Atlantic. U do not need to open an account. To pay someone, quote the person's GSM phone number (and name) and he is sent an SMS that he has been sent money. The recepient walks into any branch of FA, fills a form, collects his money. U can carry this out from your phone too.
Send money, buy recharge PIN, check account balance etc

@AYA, i have been able to Test my phone (Sagem MYX_5m) for MTN's dial up WAP, it was very expensive, but for the very first time, i was able to view a Wap page!, pls i have configured my phone with all the neccessary settings for GLO's wap, is there any special thing they need to do for me to start using their wap?, i dont see the need of going to Gloworld if what they are going to do is just to configure my set, its already configured! , in fact i discovered that the phone already has a WAP setting configured for Vodaphone's GPRS, will it work in Nigeria? |

@angel: Activate the glo settings and try browsing. That is the only way to find out

Anybody noticed this?
if you divert a call to another line, the diverted line gets charged as well as the line making the call, isn't this a rip off from Nigerian networks?
i've noticed this on glo and mtn, dont know about vmobile or mtel.
e.g,
1- diverted mtn to vmobile, mtn line gets charged as well as the line making the call.
2- diverted glo to Vmobile, glo line gets charged as well as the line making the call....
THIS IS BADDDDDD!!!!

@mamba: That's not strange. Seems like how call forwarding is generally done in most places. Anyone else tested http://gosmartmobile.com on WAP yet? |

Tried it on sagem myv55 & t610, it's fine. I guess it'll work on any wap 2.0 phone |

@mamba, you are right about the call diverts being charge, infact if there is no credit on the diverted line, u will not be reachable, but what about call diverts on the same network, has anyone tested that? |

So they are discouraging call diverts or what? , Is it the same with service providers abroad? |

Please guys clear this up for me... In Nigeria, do the networks charge you for incoming calls, even if it's from a number on the same network? If this is the case someone needs to step in because subscribers are being robbed in clear daylight.

Brix, no network charges for incoming calls here in Nigeria...
What we were talking about is related to CALL DIVERTS..
you can divert all incoming calls to your number to another number e.g your secretary's number, that's when you dont feel like receiving the call on ur phone...... thereby if I make a call to your number, it diverts and rings on your secretary's phone instead.
it's just that in Nigeria with the example given above, your line gets charged as well as the line of whoever tried to call you too. that's like double charges for one call.....
I wonder if the same thing is applicable in SA too?

The way I see this issue is, during a call divert there are actually 2 on-going calls: A to B, and B to C. Since that uses extra system resources, there is nothing wrong being charged for both calls.
But I would at least expect that intra-network diverts should attract rates lower than regular call tarriffs.
