Ok guys, I've been able to connect to the internet on my pc using my T610's built-in modem, and I'm browsing the net FREE.
With this, MTN has redeemed its image with me.

@2tek: Have you been able to get your pc to work with your K700i's B/I modem, if not, PM me and I'll tell you what I did.

Obviously. They kept it open, but are keeping mum.
I also believe they are using the free thing as a ploy to whip up sentiments back in their favour.
Personally, its not enough to make me take up MTN as my primary line.
I am certain that Glo is also watching things develop. If MTN announces lower or more convenient GPRS tariffs, Glo is likely to retaliate. See what happened when MTN increased validity slots.

It appears to be working.
The GPRS signal is location sensitive. I was at Ikorodu today, and couldn't pick signals until I got to Ogudu, and right now its very slow.

I have no personal interests in the matter. The most important thing about this development is that it has resulted in stiffer competition. I have always said that it is never good for only one guy (in this case Glo) to offer a service, regardless of how much of a nice guy he is.
The real fun has just begun and more and more the saying, the customer is king, is finding fulfilment in Nigeria.

@Mamba: I don't think so, I believe its congestion. I experienced the same problem yesterday evening. It connects, starts to load, then cuts off after a while, right?

Welcome Chimex, nice to have you on board.
@TGP: First install your phone's modem on your pc using the modem drivers supplied on the cd that came with the phone.
Then set up a new dial-up internet connection specifying the phone modem as its gateway. The number to dial is *99***x# where "x" represents the data account to be used.
You can determine the data account number by clicking on the "data communication" tab under the connectivity menu. (CID=1 or 2)
I am assuming that you are connecting your phone to your pc using a data cable.

@TGP, amby has said it all... Just follow his steps and you'll be ok.
@Angel, I've been using the SIM to browse and all of a sudden I'm now disconnected???
well, I guess I just have to be patient then..
Anybody had any luck with 0806 lines? |
