I’ve only stuck to Nokia because of compatibility with earlier handsets when changing over, but this doesn’t fir the car cradle for the 5110 anyway.

si am using smart prepaid 10php/30 mins and found out that their internet connection charges 10php minimum after u get connected and disconnected a minute of using …then reconnect and another 10 php..ig you are in a poor reception area …ull be ending nt only 20 php per hour but more ..and also smart internet connection doesnt allow connection to some internet games and/or p2p services over the net…. well…this would be an internet solution for you but if you are an internet weirdo …better not to use this coz it is a limited internet… i hope someone could share with me if it could be done with a router to connect to some internet places ..thanks

Thanks for all the info/alternatives here.. Haven’t been able to use my DSL connection from PLDT for the 5th consecutive day and I’m just super pissed for the red tape. Where the heck is reliability, responsiveness and process in their service?! The fact that they don’t give a feedback or status if they’re working on your problem just makes me more annoyed and frustrated. I asked for the resolution ETC and they gave me something like we have to do remote testing to determine the cause and if the problem’s on your side that we have to deploy a technician, we’d have to put you on that queue (note: that’s another god-knows-how-long waiting!). *sigh* Sorry, just venting.

tried surfing with the k800i connected to the pc via usb. its a rather weird phone (im using SMART).

with the usb cable, it mostly says 115.2 kbps, is rarely says 994 kbps. when i open firefox, the 3g icon on the phone disappears.

i tried it with the bluetooth and it works fine… sometimes. mostly, it only lasts for ten minutes then it says “Network Failure”. even more, it usually doesn’t connect in the first place!!!

pls help me… chamba lng ba pagconnect sa smart?

I have been living without internet for about 4 months now [new house, no phone line]. My wife brought a new phone that supported 3g & HSDPA so I thought I would try it out.

Tried Globe out, but because I had a prepaid card I had to manually configure it to work via the http://www.globe.com.ph APN. That worked ok, but slow and many sites wouldn’t work (like meebo etc). Plus it was very expensive and not reliable. Couldn’t test out visibility without joining, so I gave that a miss…especially after reading all the bad press.

Then I read about Smart 3G and thought I would give it a try. P10 for 30 minutes sounded great, but heard from some forums that it wasn’t true.

When we brought the SIM and activated the GPRS it didn’t work. My wife took it to smart to see why, they didn’t know. When I checked it, they had sent an invalid proxy address. Tried to call Smart and ask for the correct one, they didn’t know what that was. Anyway, copied the proxy from one of the other settings and away it went. Seems Smart aren’t so Smart.

Gave it a try and it was EXCELLENT. It is now my main internet and I doubt I will need DSL anymore.

I highly recommend Smart 3G to everybody. If you are worried about blocked ports, there are always alternatives. e.g. logmein.com etc. If you are worried about cost, it is only P10 per 30 min. Not only that, you can use 15 minutes now and 15 minutes later and still only get charged P10. Just don’t download music or ring tones from the smart wap site, or they might charge you extra for the “value added services”. But the prices are on their web site, just not obvious as they call it VAS and don’t explain what that means.

Anyway, thanks Smart 3G.
