@olu yom: you seen to have forgotten who amby is. The emperor of econet, viceroy of vmobile and chairman of celtel.
This place is quiet cos nothing is happening. I was thinking with the spread of 3g in some areas gprs spread would increase in others. But instead its gotten worse. The signal is so short lived i barely have time to get my mail, read posts and get to post up.
Jumping out of the tech world, did anyone here buy Japaul shares and have u heard anything about when the certs are coming out?
My son has helped me loose my spare stylus and now im using pens and keys to scratch my touch pad. I saw a P910 stylus going for thousands a few yrs back. Are they still ridiculously expensive? Isnt it a piece of plastic and rubber? |

@all:A big hello to the real elites of 9ja.You guys've kept here ticking even though it's dreadfully quiet sometimes.
@brym:In addition to Oluyom's reply,cell phone batteries drain out according to the service quality in an area;the more bars one has on his mobile the lesser the battery drain and vice versa.I noticed on Glo3G that reception toggles between one and two bars.This drains batteries like mad
@all:General observations on glo3g.
1,On 3G only mode:Call quality even with one bar is generally brilliant.No dropped calls(amazingly).Service is near stable;one or two bars indoors,three,outdoors.But the drawback is that your battery is in perilious times!
2,GSM-3G mode:Bedlam! The very anthithesis of quality service;Bars toggle in millisecond basis between one and zero.Calls drop alarmingly.One is almost always not reachable when called.3G signal disappears more times than appears on your screen.Your battery is in a race to get to the finish line!
3,GSM ONLY mode:Peace at last!,although without the speed of 3G.Maximun service at all times(depends on areas though Lagos is,largely, well covered).Absolutely no dropped calls. By implication,battery life's more stable.
THAT IS ALL |

@abu: I have no idea how much a stylus costs. But I'll let you know if I do get any info.
Glo 3G came on at my end for a few minutes yesterday, and it was quite fast. Sadly, its off again. And for some crazy reason, GPRS doesn't connect.

@Abu:To think that such a little piece of rubber would give one such hiccups!I'm into my second styli now.Broke the first one the week I bought the phone;sat on it by error.I'll be on the lookout for you though.How's your 990?,looking for an ally (or,allies)!
@All: Heard NCc banned Glo's current promo.Good for them!I can't be happier.The network's been cringeworthy lately.Even their acclaimed billing system has been tosh.they've wiped away my credit on several occassions without cause and charged #10 for a glo to glo sms even when sending failed.
Is it just me or does anybody else feel Glo has the worst customer care in the whole world?Those accursed girls at their call centers are near illiterates!I'll chronicle my woes in their hands,one day! |

I am tired of the unreliability of data services on most mobile networks. I keep having to switch SIMs. Celtel and Glo have been absolutely unreliable. MTN has performed admirably, but the cost is something else.

[/quote]@Smol.. My brother i don't bother to call their CC's anymore. It usually one story or another that you get from them. Most time you are ahead of them in terms of the latest trend in IT. The Glo centre in Warri could not configure my director's Nokia N81 to browse. I wonder if they have heard of opera mini.
