patrickak wroteDoesmany one have any idea about 3G and blackberry service?
I mean we are paying 27$/ month for bb service, but will it be over 3G? And will it remain the same cap?
If it not 3G, i think the operators will have a very hard time keeping their bb subscriptions...
Yes, it will change to 3G with the same prices. to me it seems like very bad management to have dropped the prices of BB before announcing the new 3g plans, that way they made people expect another price drop when there is really none coming

Bad management ? On the contrary smartest thing they could have done. If they released both plans simultaneously people wouldn't accept 200MB for 27$ when non BIS users are getting 500MB for 19$.
Instead of complaints, by dropping the BIS price early they got praised.
babum
they got praised, but now people are saying, okay you dropped the prices of 3g what about us?
it is worldwide known that a MB of BIS is more expensive than any other regular data plan, check any country.
Had they dropped both prices at the same time they would have been praised for a much longer time

I'm not quite sure what you're saying. I'm understanding two different points of view from the quoted parts. Can you rephrase ?
patrickak
I guess BIS is getting a bit outdated. With the iphone 4S having imessage, facetime, skype( since blackberry don't have skype) and since they can do all BB can and then some, plus the data plans being cheaper than BIS, i tink it won't be long before we see a large scale migration from BIS to 3G data plans.

Most operators activate blackberry service for free/low price and you would be charged for data separately. Maybe its just bundled in the Middle East

I'm getting a 3G signal on my iPhone, it kept falling back to edge then gprs then back to 3G so I forced it to 3G only and it's working great now. It's slow though, around 120KB/sec.

Ok, so today I subscribed for the 2nd plan with MTC touch the 500mb one for 19$. They've sent me an sms saying that 19$ has been withdrawn from your balance, and to select the "2G/3G" network mode and type "mtc" under Access Point Name. So far what I managed to do is typing "mtc" into the APN. But when I try to select "3G" network from my phone, it says that my sim card doesn't allow a connection to this network. My prefered network is set to "WCDMA(prefered)/GSM".
It's still not working...
Does any1 have any clue about what's going on ? I tried to call MTC the network is busy.
I'm using gingerbread android on Sony Ericsson Arc.
Anything would be appreciated really :(
patrickak
i guess your best option at this point is to call 111 and hope for the best :)
ramisabe3
I've been calling since 8:30, "Network Busy" !
Do they have that much pressure on the customer service now ? :/
111 used to work lightning fast, what the hell is going on today...
Do I need to wait a day or something for the service to be activated ?
patrickak
Every body has been waiting for today forever, so you have to be patient...
personally i won't even try to call them before 2 or 3 days, as they won't be able to cope with the pressure
Leonedes
Well i just called and registered, the nice lady said it needs around 24 hours to be activated so .. go figure!
surfer12
I called an hour ago and I waited less than a minute for a reply. Keep trying.
ramisabe3
Thing is that you can't really know whether you put the settings correctly (or you need to do something else) OR the service is still not operational on your phone :P

Hey guys I registered for 3G at like 11 am today (sent msg to 1188) and just got it working now. However, I'm getting only an Edge connection here.. I'm using an iPhone 3GS . I've read some of you talking about forcing 3G , anyone care to explain? Cheers.
P.S: I'm in batroun.
