going locco on blackberrry

[shadow]

can somebody please explain how does it works? especially for those who are subscribe to Globe.

I already registered my phone last night in their website and I should have receive supposedly the service book. until this morning I haven't receive any.

what is the service book? how do I configure gmail, yahoo for the push email thing?

I am subscribe to the BIS unlimited surfing thingy, I don't even know what are included with my subscription.

why can't I browse the net using my wifi if I don;t turn on the data service? how can I make sure that I'm using the wifi in browsing and not my GPRS?

mahal ang charge nang globe.. got a free BB last year from them.. pero ang mahal nang service nila sa BB.. so hindi na ako nag subscribe.. ok naman.. i can text, i can make calls.. i can log on sa internet using wifi.. pwede mag YM basta connected ka sa wifi.. wala lang video streaming so hindi pwede youtube.. at walang MMS.. which is ok for me.. heheheh.. kung wala namang wifi.. pwede din kumonek via edge.. may bayad nga lang..

[_Qwerty_]

problema ko pala after 1 year.. eh ang pangit na nang case nung BB ko.. tuklap tuklap na.. napapalitan kaya case nito??

paano ka maka sure na wifi gamit mo? kasi dapat naka on ang data service before maka browse eh pag off kahit wi fi ayaw unlike other phones kahit off ang data service pwede gumamit ng wifi.

then paano configure ang email for the push email thing?

[_Qwerty_]

kailangan i ON mo yung WIFI.. then sa browser, browser configuration, yung BROWSER dapat nasa HOTSPOT BROWSER hindi sa MyGlobe..

di ko alam yung configuration nang emails.. hindi ko nga kasi ni avail yang service nang BB sa globe.. hassle pati yan.. kahit nasaan ako kukulitin ako nang boss ko sa email.. tsaka ok na din kasi pag di nag subscribe.. walang MMS.. mahirap yang MMS eh.. so ngayon di ako makapag send nang pics.. hehehehe

Shorty lang: Sa company namin, we also considered jumping into the BB bandwagon using BES Express. But after reviewing the recurring costs associated with the subscription, we decided to stay with Windows Mobile for MS Exchange synchronization (email, calendar, contacts, tasks, etc.) because basically, the service is free. You only pay for 3G/GPRS access.

The only major feature you're paying BB is for the push email technology. Everything else, we're alright with WM's Activesync. It can be configured to synchronize every X intervals or manually. I guess whether you need BB or not would depend heavily on the nature of your work, lifestyle and wallet size.

May Push email din naman ang iPhone. Wala pang extra charges beside the 3G data charges. Madali pang i-configure.

you have to login to www.globe.blackberry.com... you have to create your user id... and password..

after that... you login using the id / password you setup (using a desktop or laptop, not the BB unit)...

when you login, sundan mo lang...dun mo ma configure kung anong email addresses ang ipush sa BB unit mo.. hihingin yung PIN number ng BB unit mo (which you can get thru via Options - Status - PIN)...


yung tip earlier, you can switch the browser and use Hotspot browser to use the wifi.. otherwise.. if you use the Internet Browser as your browser, you'd be using GPRS/3G signal... sabagay kung naka unlimited plan ka na with Globe it doesn't matter anymore kung naka Internet Browser ka o Hotspot Browser... but when you are roaming overseas.. at least, you are aware...

also.. there are some routers that don't support IPSec VPN pass through... for BB to get access to internet through WIFI, I think you have to setup your home router to enable IPSec VPN... i think the default gateway na naka setup sa BB needs IPSec to connect to the default gateway of the BIS network, before you are allowed to get through the internet... (I tried kasi turning off GPRS/GSM/3G signal and just connect through wifi on a BB unit... although connected sya sa router, may IP address sya, I can ping the router, but I can't ping any other website... I think the default gateway is setup to use the BIS default gateway, which needs IPSec VPN protocol... if you get to hit the BIS default gateway, yun ang pinaka router mo to the Internet mismo)... on a Buffalo router, couldn't find any settings related to IPSec... so hindi talaga ako maka lusot sa internet using wifi only... on a Linksys router, inconsistent.. sometimes nakaka lusot ako.. sometimes hindi.... I still don't know why... but yung clue mo to find out if you are connected to the BIS through wifi, dapat yung wifi icon is not gray, it should be white... gray means you are connected to the router... but you still can't connect to the internet... dahil nga, you have to have a default gateway setup...

I've tried using Buffalo Router (which I think doesn't support IPSec).. Linksys, Belkin, DLink I think support IPSec... TPLink hindi ko maalala...

problema ko pala after 1 year.. eh ang pangit na nang case nung BB ko.. tuklap tuklap na.. napapalitan kaya case nito??

I got a Bold 2 a few weeks ago.. tyempo had a trip to Jakarta after a few days.. dun widely used ang BB... daming mga accessories... bought myself a case just like the orig.. pero may belt clip... also got a silicone material skin... as well as car charger...

daming mga accessories na BB dun... if you have friends who are flying out to that place.. maybe you can ask them to get for you...

just in case somebody's interested... i found out na mukhang what wasn't working (purely wifi on BB) wasn't in anyway related to the IPSec VPN Pass through thingy...

I found out that I wasn't passing along proper DNS server names sa DHCP server settings ng router ko (blank lang).... when I used the DNS server addresses as provided by the ISP in the DHCP server settings ng router (effectively passing on these DNS server addresses to the DHCP clients), naka access na ako sa outside internet...

I'm just wondering na sa BB lang ganito.. sa other devices like iPhone, laptops etc.. even in the previous setting na blank yung DNS server addresses sa DHCP server settings.. ok naman at naka access yung mga ibang devices to the internet...
