ubscription on Nokia Phones

Recently, I shared how to use Globacom Blackberry internet

subscription on computer , iPad/iPhone and Android devices .

Since then, I have received several mails and texts from Nokia

users, asking me if the Glo BIS can also work on their Nokia

phones.

Well, as at the time of publishing this, the Glo BIS works

perfectly on Nokia phones. If you can set up a "personal

configuration", using "blackberry.net" as the Access Point

Name(APN), you will be able to browse with the Glo BIS on

your Nokia.

How To Get Started

==> Subscribe to Globacom BIS with your Glo SIM.

Text "coweek" to 777 for N400/week plan and text "comonth"

to 777 for N1400/month plan.

==> On your Nokia phone, go to Settings ; Configuration.

==> Scroll down till you see “Personal Settings”. Select it.

==> Click on “Options”, select “Add New”. Choose “Access

Point”

==> You will see : “Account name” and “Access Point

Settings”.

==> Enter "GloBIS” or any name as the “Account name”

==> Thereafter, Select “ Access Point settings”, then “ Bearer

settings”. You will then see a list of settings you can change.

Just edit them as listed below:

Packet data access pt = blackberry.net

Network type = IPv4

Authentication  type = Normal

Username = (leave blank)

Password = (leave blank)

==> Once you are done, just select “Back” 3 times. You

should see the new APN you created in a list under “Personal

accounts” with a G-like icon.

Activating the Access Point

==> From Menu, go to Settings ; Connectivity ; Packet

Data.

==> You will see: “ Packet Data Connection ” and “ Packet

Data Settings”.

==> Set “Packet Data Connection to “ Always Online ” .

==> Then select “Packet Data Settings”. You will see:

“Active Access Point” and “Edit Active Access Point”.

==> Select “Active Access Point” and you should see a list of

Access Points.

==> Select the one you created above (which I named GloBIS

as explained above) and select “ Activate”.

Web Settings Configuration

==> From Menu, go to Settings ; Configuration.

==> Scroll down till you see “Personal Settings”. Select it.

==> Then click on “Options”, click “Add New”. Choose

“Web”.

==> You will then see a list of settings you can change.  Just

edit them as listed below:

Account Name = GlobacomBIS ( This can be any name)

Homepage = http://www.ogbongeblog.com ( This can be any

web/wap url)

Username = (leave blank)

Password = (leave blank)

Use preferred access pt = Yes

==> Once you are done, just select “Back”. You should see the

new web setting you created in a list under “Personal

accounts” with a ball-like icon.

==> Thereafter, highlight the Web setting, select “ Options ”

and select “ Activate”.

Phone Configuration

==> From Menu, Go to Settings ; Configuration. You will

see: “Default config. settings” , “Default in all apps” ,

“Preferred Access Point” and “Personal Settings”. Just edit

them as listed below:

Default config. settings =  choose “Personal config”

Default in all apps = Yes

Preferred Access Point = choose the Access Point created

earlier (GloBIS)

Personal settings = Just leave it the way it is

Configuring Your Phone’s Web Browser

==> From Menu, Go to “Internet”. Scroll down till you see

“Web Settings”. Select it.

==> Scroll down to “Configuration Settings”. Select it. You

will see: “ Configuration” and “ Account ”. ==> Select

“ Configuration” and choose “ Personal config ” from the list.

This simply ensures that your phone’s browser uses the

“personal configuration” you created manually.

That’s all.
