HOW TO SHARE AND GIFT YOUR GLO DATA PLAN

Actually what I wanted to share with you guys was how you could share, sell, send, transfer, and render GLO Data Plans and Bunndle to your families and friends as a gift using http://hsi.glo.com on your Glo Modem
But what's the need if you can still simply do the same on your mobile by requesting through SMS text message and USSD. After all you can't even access http://hsi.glo.com without using a modem.

To share, gift or Transfer your DATA PLAN ON GLO

To share or transfer a glo subscription, the little you have to do is punch *127*Data Plan Code*receiver's number#
for example *127*53*0805002xxxx# from the example I gave you above 53 is the Data Plan Code number to subscribe for Always Micro subscription and is being sent or transfered as a gift to 0805002xxxx

Sharing and Transferring GLo BIS or Data Plan Via SMS

To do the same via SMS, text "Gift ( Data plan name of your choice) (receivers's glo number)" to 127

i.e sending "Gift Always Micro 0805002xxxx" as text message to 127 will gift an Always Micro data plan to 0805002xxxx

HOW TO ADD PEOPLE TO SHARE YOUR DATA PLAN VIA USSD

Adding more people to share your data plan, dial *127*01*receiver's Glo number#
i.e dialing *127*01*0805002xxxx# will add 0805002xxxx to share your subscription

How TO REMOVE PEOPLE FROM SHARING YOUR DATA PLAN

In case you are wondering how to remove people you just shared your data plan with, then dial *127*02*receiver's glo number#

IF you want to know or want to be sure of how many people you're really sharing your data plan with, dial *127*00# so as to get a list of them

Adding People to Share Your Data Plan Via SMS on Glo

To add people to share your subscription, text "Share (receiver's glo number)" to 127

for example send "share 0805002xxxx" as text message to 127, 0805002xxxx will be added to share your subscription.

    USE YOUR ANDROID AS MODEM TO BROWSE FREE

    Knowing that you can actually exceed and exhaust the ways you can connect your mobile phone to the internet make it wonderfully awesome and alluring. And its also a letdown if you cannot employ all the tactics to do this. Today, I just found out a new way on how you can connect your android phone as a modem. All through this blog i have posted ways you can connect various mobile devices to the internet and how they can serve as a modem to the user

    You can check out the following links to learn More
    How to Use your Nokia As Modem
    How to use your iPHonE As a 3G ModemHow To Use Your Blackberry Phone as a Modem

    All you need to tether your internet connection on an Android device is as simple as getting yourself the PDAnet app and you can find it available at Google play store.

    I've tested this on a friends android and it worked fine and I was able to connect without out any hitch. In fact after a successful connection, I decided to share it with you guys on my blog. I never knew PDAnet was that great. The only thing is that you are subjected to a certain trail period where the software gives you every functions of a full version for some days. After the trial period, connections via https(secured connections) are disabled. by that you are are unable to login in to sites with secured connections. For example you wont be able to access your Facebook account because it is on a secured connection. You can check here for more details about the full version



    You can download the full version of PDAnet for FREE!!!!

    HOW TO CONNECT YOUR ANDROID AS A MODEM

    Instructions:Let me assume you just downloaded the app from the link I provided above for your PC and install it in a hurry so we can get started. And please spare me the question of how to configure it, because neither you nor I will be needing it for this tutorial. Once your android device is configured then you dont have to bug your nerves.

    Okay now download PDAnet for your android phone and install it too and enable USB Tether.

    HOW TO CONFIGURE YOUR ANDROID

    Go menu or Application Go to settings Go wireless networks Go to name access points In the APN screen that appears, press Menu and select New APN Only fill in the following fields: - Name: a name of your choice - APN: Set the name of the access point -
    Username (if required in your operator) - Password (if required in your operator) -
    Identification type choose PAP or CHAP -
    APN type select Internet Save all this by pressing Menu and Save

    Secondly, connect your android phone to your PC via USB cable instantly and that's all

    STILL CANT CONNECT YOUR ANDROID AS MODEM?


    if you still cant connect your android phone as a modem using the above steps then you can simply right click the PDAnet tray on your system task bar and click Connect to the Internet.


    After a sucessful connection you can Make use of airtel's BIS (blackberry Internet Service) Data Plan on your android to browse free.... SOUNDS KOOL RIGHT? PDAnet is also available for other OS such as Palm OS, Blackberry, iOS and Windows Phone and can equally be used on Mac OSX.

    Have Fun…

    10 STEPS TO TROUBLESHOOT YOUR ZTE OR HUAWEI MODEM

    Due to the large number of complains I get on countless occasion from different modem users, I have decided to make this post that can help you fix some bug and troubleshoot your modem. There are several reasons why you re unable to connect your modem to your PC to access the internet. some many have complained of "device disconnected" or device not available when they try to connect their modem to the internet. Sometimes SIM is not detected or SIM is said to be invalid. And sometimes you get the message on modem installation that says "Device not successfully install" or you get device "driver not found".

    Now the One million dollar question is; how are you to go about this? how do yo get alll these solve to get your modem in a working condition.Should I get a new modem in this case?

    Now before You think of getting a new modem, try the following steps carefully and make sure you hid to every instruction.

    [1] 1ST MAKE SURE THE SIM IS PROPERLY INSERTED


    You should probably see direction for use on your modem pack or right on the modem that shows you the correct way to insert SIM into your modem

    [2] MAKE SURE YOUR MODEM IS UNLOCKED OR YOU'RE USING THE RIGHT SIM

    With the advent of Customized Modem from different network provider, you're are sure to get an error message that shows SIM is not accepted when you insert SIM from another network provider. You can get passed this by simply getting your Modem unlocked so it can accept SIM from other network provider.

    [3] MAKE SURE U USE THE APPROPRIATE APN SETTINGS FOR YOUR HUAWEI OR ZTE DEVICE


    Make sure you create a profile on your modem bearing the right APN settings for the right SIM inserted. You can create several profile as much as you please.
    APN Settings for GloAPN: gloflat
    username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99#

    APN Settings for AirtelAPN: internet.ng.airtel.com
    username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99# (similar to the settings for BIS on PC )

    APN Settings for MTNAPN:web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
    username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99#

    APN Settings for EtisalatAPN: etisalat
    username: web (or leave blank) passord: web (or leave blank) access number: *99#

    [4] TRY REINSTALLING THE SOFTWARE OR DASHBOARD IN SAFE MODE

    You can kindly unistall the modem software (dashboard) and try re-installing it in a Safe Mode (...I guess you're already know how to do this ).It's as simple as holding or taping F8 on your PC before window loads... just as soon as you press the power button or press F1 on our desktop and type Safe mode to search for more info)

    [5] MAKE SURE YOUR FIREWALL IS NOT BLOCKING YOUR MODEM SOFTWARE TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THE INTERNET

    You should also make sure that your firewall is not preventing internet connect from your device. You can do a proper check and try connecting again.

    [6] MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DATA PLAN THAT IS ACTIVE FROM EITHER GLO, ETISALAT, MTN, OR AIRTEL E.T.C

    Getting a data plan of your choice should not be your problem, 'cus all through this blog, I have littered and exhausted i know about available data plan on all network.
    I guess you should Check:
  • Glo Recent Data Plan
  • Aitel BIs Data Plan On PC
  • Etisalat Data Plan for BIS
  • Mtn New Data Plan With Extensive Validity
  • [7] THEN YOU CAN TRY OTHER SIMS TO CHECK IF IT IS SIM PROBLEM. NOT ALL SIMS CAN BROWSE

    Yes, Its true, not all SIM can browse no matter what you do to that SIM. All SIMs are made differently

    [8] CHECK IF MORE THAN ONE MODEM IS INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM AND DELETE THE ONES YOU DON'T NEED.

    It has happened to me. I installed several modems on my PC. When I tried connecting it says "device disconnected", when I uninstalled all the modems, I installed only one and it started working. I noticed also that, it also work on USB ports and doesn't work on the other. But after the above step, it all got solved.You can uninstalled them from your control panel through uninstallation.

    [9] YOU CAN RESTART YOUR SYSTEM AND TRY CONNECTING ONCE AGAIN.


    If you've done the above steps, then you can quickly do a restart so as to beginning connection on a fresh note

    [10] FINALLY YOU CAN EITHER FLASH AND RE-INSTALL THE MODEM FIRMWARE OR DO AN UPDATE.

    You should do this if only the above mentioned steps proved abortive. This very steps helps you to flash, re-install and update to your modem's firmware and Dashbord. This is the final antidote to any stubborn modem.

    It feels so bad knowing that your modem cannot accept any SIM inserted into it. This normally happens when you exhaust the given number of unlock attempt (normally 10 attempts).

    .
  • Do take note of the warning messages that appears on the screen before proceeding to flash your modem. You may be prompted to enter your modem flash code if necessary.

    Remember

    I told you earlier you would need it as we proceed. Well this normally occurs when your new firmware version differs or is not compatible with the current one you’re about to install on your device.

    After a successful firmware upgrade, you may be so eager to start trying out SIM cards from the all different network provider you know. Well let me not laugh at you yet (although I just did). You may still get that frustrating message you get when you insert the different network SIM. The reason is beacause , the default Dashboard is programmed to pop out an error message and disable sim detection when a different network sim is entered.
    Not to worry I will show you everything you need to know to stop seeing this message.

    The Hard Job Here [sorry just kidding] is to Update our Dashboard
    1. Simply unzip the Dashboard file I told you to download before. A list of them include Huawei, Zte, Novatel, Sierra Wireless, Samsung, BandRich, Alcatel, alfa, and Vodafone. So just select the modem type you wish to unlock
    2. - Unzip the file and run the executable file
    3. - Accept the agreement and continue
    4. - Again, the software should search for your device
    5. -Hit the Next button as before and the procedure is very much similar to the firmware upgrade you did earlier.

      1. Now check this out, it more like a child's play unlocking Modem and re-installing /upgrading the firmware, Is that not?

        Now, just know that this is the only way for now that you can use to recover your 10 wrongly entered unlock attempts. You can save or bookmark this page to go over it more often for a step by step guide on how to unlock and update modem dashboard and firmware on HUAWEI and ZTE.

      Just help me do a click on like button if you like this tutorial. You can drop comments if it works. in that way I get encouraged.THankS!!!

    THE EASIEST WAY TO USE YOUR iPHONE AS A 3G MODEM

    The use of Iphone to surf the web brings a unique user web browsing experience and is for sure very cool for anyone maximize full use of its internet capability.

    Althrough this blog I have taken my time to explain ways to Connect mobile phones with PC so as to access the internet to browse free. Infact one of the foremost reasons why I initiated this blog was to showcase all the experiments I have made in trying to connect mobile devices and PCs to surf the net at a little or no cost price.

    For many Iphone users who want to do more than syncing files from their Mobile to PC with their IPhone must have at one point or the other wondered in their wildest imagination how to use it(iPhone) also as a Modem.

    Using a phone as a modem is not a new technology to any tech savvy individual. But taking the advantage of the 3G enabled capability found in an Iphone so as to use it as a modem is what makes this post a little bit different.

    In connecting your Iphone to your MAC/PC computer as a modem, "Tethering" is the word you should get familiar with.

    this means you're able to your connect Iphone directly to your PC with a USB cable or Wireless connectivity which involves the use of bluetooth without any Emulator or third party software ( for example; like the use of NOKIA or SAMSUNG PC SUITE or whatever) the same way you will do with your Zte or Huawei Modem so as to make use of your network's 3G data service.

    STEPS TO USE YOUR IPHONE AS A 3G MODEM

    1. Update Your Iphone OS
    First, kindly update your Iphone OS. You can check out the post I've created on How to update Iphone OS here

    2. Tether Your Internet Connection
    Go to iPhone's menu, navigate to settings tap General > Network > Internet Tethering. Slide the Internet Tethering switch to On.
  • 3 Plug in your USB
    To use your iPhone via USB to connect as a modem, first connect your iPhone to your computer. If you're using Microsoft Windows OS, then dash to your computer's Network services settings from Control Panel and choose iPhone. Alternatively, Mac users (must be running Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later), you would see a quick pop-up on your screen with the message "A new network interface has been detected". left click on Network Preferences, then enter configuration settings of your network provider for iPhone, then click on Apply to save settings.

  • Alternatively

    1. Connect wireless via Bluetooth
      Still in the same manner, head over to your iPhone's settings menu, tap General > and switch on Bluetooth connection. But you must first pair and connect the iPhone to your computer.
    2. Browse the Web
      Now you will see that the Bluetooth Icon now carries the message "Internet Tethering" at the top of your iPhone. Now you are good to go 'cus you just succeeded in connecting your iPhone as a Modem.
    3. But Wait !!!

      Not so Fast, Do get a data plan of your choice to surf with and remember not to turn of Internet tethering until you are done with your browsing section on Ensure you have a large data quota to work with, as tethering uses much more data than browsing the Web on your iPhone does. If you regularly use tethering, we suggest a data allowance of at least 1GB per month.
