Hello,
I am a Globe post paid subscriber and I am having trouble setting up my GPRS/WAP account. I have an Ericsson T68 which I bought in Hong Kong (is thus the problem?) I already called Globe customer service and had them activate my GPRS account. I also configured my phone as per Globe's instruction, but I can't seem to get it to work. Whenever I slide the volume control to look at the status, I can see the message "GPRS: GPRS not allowed". The GPRS Icon on the sandby screen disappears within five minutes after turning the phone on. Anyone out there that can help me? Please? |

west... i think globe did not activate your acct. or there's something wrong w/ the settings... look into the forum, and you will the the settings somewhere.. if it wont work, try going to eb so we configure it for you. or test the unit using our sim card.. |

Thanks dan...
Could it be because I bought the phone abroad? |

@GRIFTER
sorry. it seems they've banned the site already. i cant get any msgs from their servers anymore ;(
@westice
are you sure you got good GPRS signal in your area? baka naman sa ibang location ok yung service.
i know you said you've checked your settings already. double-check it, you might've missed something.
just holler if you still got problems.

Actually I was wondering about that...
Is GPRS coverage limited to Metro Manila?
I live in Paranaque and work in Cavite that's why...
By the way I must've checked and double checked the settings 5 times. Thanks for the suggestion though...

Sino sa inyo ang may alam ng pinakamabilis na way to setup your GPRS on your phone?! as in 4 easy steps without going to the connection settings and others? Curious ba kayo? |

@grifter, go to the sonyericsson web site and have your phone configured over the air... only for globe subscribers for philippines... |

@WestIce
Almost the whole of Metro Manila has GPRS coverage. Outside manila, spotty and inconsistent. There wasn't any GPRS signal at Angeles City, but in Zambo meron - super bagal nga lang, but tolerable.
am speaking about Globe of course, arnoldc can give you feedback about SMART's performance.

Double Checked my settings and still no GPRS...
Could it be phone related? Does Globe or Smart put a special configuration on their phones bought here?
Globe insists that they already activated my GPRS service... |
