Got this SMS from Globe Telecom on Christmas Eve:

Globe Advisory: We will be sending the correct settings for ur unit w/in the next 24 hrs for u to experience GPRS/MMS services on ur phone. Pls save the settings even if u have previous settings to ensure that u have the complete GPRS/MMS settings.

I wonder if this has something to do with IMEvrywhr? Or maybe they merely figured out they were giving the wrong APN all along.

For the other Globe users out there, you might have noticed that whenever you request a GPRS setting over-the-air or contact Globe's customer support, they give the APN www.globe.com.ph. This, of course, does not work for mobile apps (except maybe for wap browsing), and we figured out for ourselves that we should use internet.globe.com.ph instead.

By the way, I did receive a setting configuration for Globe within 24 hours. I also got a "feature not supported error" on my Nokia phone when I tried to open the message [insert smirk here]

Below are my current internet settings for Globe:

WAP over GPRS

MMS

Internet

I think Globe read the numbers in their database but thought you were using a different phone and pushed you the wrong OTA settings. Ah well.

The only change I notice is the apn for Imeverywhere. I think this is just a marketing gimik to force us to use it. I couldnt care less. Its a crappy application.

Did you ever get IMEBRYWURR to work? The new APN (GMX Globe) uses im.globe.com.ph but this doesn't work. How do I stop myself from throwing this N70 out the window.

globe overcharges on their GPRS service by 0.85 cents (0.15 cents ung current charge ng globe) try it on your cell. i tried it in mine.

tess de guzman said:

You know what? I was also thinking of the same thing. Parang ang taas taas ng internet charges ko. Before, I got charged as much as P30 when I only viewed a very light website.

ok na ba ang GPRS ng globe gusto ko sana mag connect net sa fon kow.. but mahal masyado ang globe they charge perKB.. smart ang gamit ko now.. and i can connect 115Kbps but my problem is i can play online games.. yung globe ba pede?

December 28, 2006

chette said:

AJ, you "can't" play online games in Smart ba? I never tried eh, so I don't know. I use Globe for instant messeging lang (IM+ or Agile). They don't have heavy per kb usage kasi. It is expensive if I use Smart for this, since I leave it on the entire day. But, for surfing, Smart rocks P10 for 30 minutes! And, if you're in a 3G area, it's really fast. Sulit

December 28, 2006

Ross Intalan said:

IM Everywhere costs P20 per day. Surfing is P0.25 per kilobyte. Yes, Globe has a big problem with their billing. It makes me nervous to use any of their new services. Right now, I see some unusual charges in my bill. I get charged for ring tones and logos that I didn't even download.

Yu Chube said:

Well it's been in 2 weeks now and I still can't install that freaking IMEBRIWURR. Globe doesn't recognize that new GMX Globe apn it installed on my phone. The N70 sure looks good as a frisbee though, after all the times it has hurtled through the air as I wax here in angst and frustration.

Just uploaded a new post about Globe IMEvrywhr (gosh, that's really so hard to spell). Check it out here: Globe's IMEVRYWHR is IMNOWHR?

Roger D. said:

guys, gals, APNs of Globe: myGlobe GPRS -for proxy browsing (HTTP only) myGlobe Internet-full internet access (outside their walled garden, you can use IM here, I'm using this one for YehBA* Mobile IM myGlobe INET (this one is quite new, i think this one replaces the myGlobe GPRS, without specifying a proxy IP). the GMX APN, for their own IM. It doesnt work for me either, i wasted several sms to the short code number but no reply back for the WAP push. so downloaded it straight but still nowhere. oh well..
