How To Browse On BlackBerry With Globacom ( N400/day available)

If you have a Blackberry device and you wish to browse the Internet with it, then you will have to subscribe for the BlackBerry Internet service via an Internet service provider (ISP). All the ISP has their own different Blackberry Internet plans. Today, I am sharing with you, how you can get connected to the Internet via Globacom Blackbery Internet Service.

As at the time of composing this, Globacom Nigeria offers 3 basic plans for Prepaid BlackBerry users to be able to get connected to the Internet. The 3 plans are highlighted below:

1. Bisday:           keyword= bisday , Access fee= N400 , Validity = 24 hrs , Data Bundle= 10MB
2. BisWeek:      keyword= bisweek , Access fee= N1500 , Validity = 7 days , Data Bundle= 100MB
3. BisMonth:     keyword= bismonth , Access fee= N4800 , Validity = 30 days , Data Bundle= 1GB

Take note of the keywords above. You will need them when subscribing. As at today, it is only Globacom that offers the daily plan.

 

So, How Do I Activate Globacom Internet Service On My Blackberry?


To browse on your BB with Globacom, make sure Glo has at least EDGE coverage in your location.


To get started, insert your Glo SIM into your BlackBerry device and switch it on. Load the SIM with the amount of airtime you think will be enough for the plan you want to use.  You might not see the EDGE icon, you might only be seeing GSM, DON'T WORRY... keep reading

After loading the airtime, go to MESSAGES  to Compose a new message. Then text the keyword for the plan you want to 777. After sending the text, then you will receive a confirmatory message from Globacom.

After you might have received your confirmatory message, SWITCH OFF your BB, REMOVE THE BATTERY and RE-INSERT THE BATTERY. Then, SWITCH ON your BB. After switching it on,  then you should now see the EDGE written in capital letters. Once you notice this, then you are good to go.


That's all.


NOTE:


Globacom Blackbebry Customer Care hotline is 333 
To check your data balance/ usage, text STATUS to 777
To cancel subscription, just wait for the current bundle to elapse and you will not be automatically resubscribed to.
To resubscribe, just resend the keyword or choose a new keyword for the desired package and text it to 777 

The 3 plans are above are solely for Blackberry devices but if your phone supports Blackberry services, you can subscribe to the plans too. If you send the activation code and Glo detects that your device does not support Blackberry services, then your money will be refunded.

If you swap your SIM into a non compatible device and later put in back on the original BB device, the service will continue to run as long as the subscription is valid. 

I hope this helps...

Google Takes 32% Of Your Earnings

If you haven’t heard the word yet, Google finally released details on how it splits AdSense revenue with smalltime (you and me) publishers. Conventional wisdom was that the split was about 70/30 in favor of the publishers, and that turns out to be pretty close to reality: publishers earn 68% of AdSense for Content earnings.

On the search side, the split isn’t as high. If you use AdSense for Search, you only get 51% of the ad revenue. Google attributes this difference to the higher costs involved in hosting search results on sites other than their own plus all the added stuff you can do with AdSense for Search, such as restricting searches to a specific set of sites, etc.

Revenues for the other AdSense variants have not been disclosed and are apparently subject to change and experimentation as they develop.

Of course, big AdSense publishers have always been able to negotiate revenue share and get access to custom ad formats and other features, and that information is still confidential.

This news definitely interested a lot of publishers. Note, however, that Google doesn’t really mention they’re not doing this out of the goodness of their heart — Italian courts were going to force the issue in Italy, so I guess they figured it was just as well to come out clean across the board.

I will let you decide if the 68% and 51% shares are high enough or not.

How To Send Text Messages @ N5 From Airtel to Airtel Network Instead Of N7.00

Several months ago, when airtel took over from Zain, they brought along fantastic call and sms offers that were very competitive with other networks already on ground such as MTN and Glo. One of the offers was the "2Good" package where airtel users can call and send text messages at very competitive prices.

If you use airtel network and still send text messages for N7 to other airtel networks, then, here is how you can send such text messages for only N5.

I discovered the reality of this after sending a text message to an airtel number for N7 and at other times N5. The discovery is that the only way by which you can enjoy the N5 text messaging/sms rate is when you subscribe to 'Airtel's  2Good Package'. Now, many people do not  know that subscription to 'Airtel's  2Good Package' is to be done on a daily basis before one can enjoy the cheap calls or sms. Now, i am telling you this.

Therefore, to enjoy the N5 sms rate from airtel to airtel numbers, then you should subscribe to the Airtel 2go Package every morning by typing '*446#'. Once you do this, you will be told that 'Thanks for migrating to 2Good...'
