@amby: have u tried the data-thirstiest app i've seen to date? Ie GMaps? For anyone that has got extra mbs from mtn's "24 hr" data bundle, try out the google maps. Its great if u have a fast connection. But beware if u are using "per kb".
While i was in maiduguri, the initial map was the default i guess, ie London. But in kaduna, it managed pin point me in kaduna. I guess it followed the trail of servers cos my phone has no gps.
Speaking of gps, does any SE phone have it? Or does one have to get a add-on? |

Meanwhile, I wan mod my phone die.
I bought Mamba's P1i off him last month, and have been applying every possible mod for UIQ3. This phone is so cool if you dare to explore.
Now I have the following apps on my P1
IM+ global messenger
Olive Tree Bible
Torch light
Walkman player 3
Hardware shortcut button mod to start walkman
G900 notes (Sticky notes)
Changed default fonts to Lord of the ring fonts
Ability to install unsigned apps
Louder audio output volume......
Still searching for more.
I wonder how Mamba and Oluyom could let go of this phone.
On my WM i780, I need no mods to get any of the above apps (or better). I simply download the apps, and there we are. Now you know how I can let go of it - and not look back too

@Oluyom, did u use agilemessenger on ur P1? if yes, could u sign into yahoo messenger? IM+ has some login issues with yahoo so I'm forced to use wapmessenger.
No; I didn't. It wasn't freeware, so I passed.

I got tired of the touch screen and just felt like having a normal phone again. I now use a Nokia 6120/K800 which has all the basic things I need. |

A friend of mine and I have tried getting the etisalat numbers via a bunch of networks, but Glo seems to be blocking the sms. we have tried 3 glo numbers but none have received the confirmation sms. thru mtn and zain it was almost instantaneous. |

@Abu: If you were Adenuga wouldn't you do the same? I guess they've panicked and don't know how best to handle this.
@Dawny: I thought you said yesterday was the launch date for Etisalat. Have they kept their word?
Guys let us know if "better" dey for Etisalat

I'm sure Etisalat will inform everyone who registered a sim of thier launch date so they will have people buzzing around the offices on that day. with the range of lines they have on offer to register, I doubt they have the 1 million subs purported here earlier. |

I believe that was visafone that claimed to have reached the 1million subs mark.
Still searching for Globetrotter Connect software.

Don't mind the glow people. The good news is, assuming you are using glo, once you've reserved the number, call 08098246673 again, it recognises the number you've called from and recites the number you've reserved. No pass code though........Oh, I have an N95-1 for sale, used but very cheap.......all offers text 08055025482

unacceptably, that is the "standard" practice of our importers. Pharmaceuticals are not excluded

Looks like glomobile will soon launch new data plans in response to MTN's.
We should be expecting:
24/7 ....... 10,000/month (3gig max)
9am to 9pm.......6,000/month (3 gig max)
Weekend ........4,000/month (3 gig max)
PAYB......1 or 5 or 10 kobo/ kilobyte
I called customercare and the assistant was ranting away before she was probably reminded that the data plans have not been officially announced.
Only drawback may be refundable deposits requirement for the 24/7, daily and weekend.
Not too sure about PAYB info because she said 1 kobo/kb and corrected herself by saying 5 kobo or 10 kobo/kb.
Wonder why glo is always waiting for MTN to take the initiative?
MTN crashed call rates and introduced free night calls, glo responded.
MTN crashed BlackBerry charges by 50 %, glo responded
MTN introduced friendly data plans, glo is planning to respond. HABA!
Edited:
Dis customercare assistants sef. I called back and got another set of info from another assistant;
No 9am to 9pm or weekend.
5Mb.....1,250 monthly, sec deposit...2,000
20Mb....3500 monthly, sec deposit...5,000
50mb....7,000 monthly, sec deposit...9,000
24/7....10,000 monthly, sec deposit...12,000(first month payment is waived) 3gig max.
I guess we have to wait for the official announcement to make sense of this confusion or anybody want to try calling CC.
