Siksik sa info ang forum na ito.

Meron akong Globe Visibility. May MSI U123 din ako na may 3G slot sa ilalim ng battery compartment.

Nais ko sana’ng tanggalin ang SIM sa Globe Visibility at ilagay sa 3G slot ng U123.

Puwede ba ito? Maganda sana para wala ng nakalawit na gadget at libre pa ng isang USB slot. Hindi ko pa masubukan dahil wala pa ako sa ‘Pinas.

Sa may magandang loob na techie diyan, puwede bang pakilabas ng isang step by step tut para sa mga ganitog sitwasyon.

Good Day! have been using Globe Visibility pre-paid for 5 months and have no complaint, the speed is really fast during mornings, ok during afternoons, quite slow during evenings-expected because of traffic. My problem is just i cannot used it using my guest account, have to use my admin account inorder to surf. The problem is both for my desktop with XP service pack 3 and my laptop with Vista Business service pack 2. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance

@leb,

problem ko dn yan.. cannot connect to remote server. ok sya dati pero nung march yan na exeprience ko. and until now wala pa din ginagawa ang smart kahit nareport ko na..

im using Sartbro MF626. nakabili na din ako ng Globe Visi, sya ang 1st na nabili ko pero dahil sa sobrang bgal kahit na HSDPA ako, as in di ako makaconnect man lang, binenta ko. buti binili ng friend ko kasi ok yata sa may eastwood. dito pa naman ako sa makati pero wala. yung smart ok naman pero di pa din gnun kastable.. minsan mabilis minsan sobrang bagal. kakatext ko lang sa SUN para magpaconnection-test sa bahay bukas. sana ok naman. kukunin ko yung monthly na w/o contract.

After reading all the blogs and comments for SMART, GLOBE and SUN I feel like I’m about to throw my Globe Visibility Huawei E160 out the window. Most of the good feedback are for SUN and it’s definitely because of the price. The thing is, it would be a waste to switch to SUN Huawei E220 especially since I purchased my modem at its original price of P2500. I was still in Davao then. My dilemma is this: Whether to “upgrade” to SUN and then just have the modem unlocked so that I can use it once I leave Manila or Stick to Globe E160 and then just have SUN config settings.

Hi,
I just recently availed of Sun’s Wireless broadband. its great for my metro-manila use, but still in development for a nationwide rollout.

I decided to manually unlock my e200 (with success) and tried out an extra globe prepaid sim i had (P30 on load). I placed the number and APN settings given above into a new profile i created with the sun branded dialer already installed on my machine.

It worked. though to my surprise, my Sun service was a LOT faster, even if I had only 1 bar compared to 5 bars with globe.

Tried to unlock Globe Visibility Huawei E220 and it was a success. The modem accepts any sim (globe, smart and sun but not the Red mobile it reports SMART ROAMING) when inserted. Test the all the sims (except Red Mobile) using the 3rd party software auto install of Globe Visibility.

TEXT – all sims okay (receives and sends)
Globe connect – ok but globe has still a problem
Sun connect – error 619 (APN problem) *99***#
SMART connect – error 619 (APN problem) *99#

Note: except Red Mobile did not do the test (walang load eh hehehehe)

Manual registration with network inside E220 using (Partner) was successful (all sims except red)

Guess i have to register the sun and smart sims for OTA internet to get the full service of the sims.

Will update this thread once i have register the other 2 sims for OTA.

Here’s my simple solution:

I have a Smart Bro Huawei e226 3g modem and I open-line it using DC-Unlocker. Now I can put any sim card on to it (Globe, Sun, an other international carrier sim cards). This way, if I want to switch service, I only switch the sim cards instead of both hardware and drivers they use. The good thing with the on-board Huawei software is that you can set different profiles. So if you use Globe, you can set a new profile which corresponds to Globe’s browsing settings then save it for later use. Since I’m using Smart Bro, SmartBro profile is already set as default.

By the way, you can use normal sim cards for browsing. Just make sure that these sims (Globe, Smart, Sun) had their mms and browsing activated. Don’t get stuck with the bundled sim cards that Smart Bro and Globe are offering. In the case of Smart Bro Prepaid, the bundled sim can only send and receive sms and lacks call functionality.

Get your freedom! Unlocking your 3g modem is 100% legal. You’ve paid for it in the first place!

the only downside is that you need to pay an extra P 1,000.00 in order to unlock it using DC Unlocker. You also need a Credit Card to pay for it online. But considering the fact that you don’t have to buy another 3g modem which would cost around P 2,500.00, then it is practical to just unlock it!

Good luck and happy browsing!

Mikee Taylo – hinhanapan ako ng password nung tinry ko ung settings na ginawa mo Instructions:

1. Replace the Globe SIM with a Smart SIM.
2. Plug the ZTE MF626. ( Better to use Globeâ€™s USB Device since its not network locked, Smartâ€™s Dark Night is. )
3. Using the Modem Mobile Connection ( Dialer ) Go to Settings Icon ( the one with the screw driver ).
4. Add a new connections setting, name it as Smart Bro.

By the way, hereâ€™s the configuration of both networks using the dialer:

For Smart:

Dial Number: *99#
APN: internet or smartbro ( internet is faster )

For Globe:

Dial Number: *99***1#
APN: http.globe.com.ph

You donâ€™t need any user name and password.

5. Now go to Internet Icon ( Saturn Like Icon )
6. Wait for it to initialize until you see the signal. Its your preference as well if you want to manually set the Network Settings.

after ko ma add ung smart sa globe visibity ko.

Hi Yuga,

Got some comments.

I’ve installed 3 broadband modems from:
Globe Visibility – Huawei e220
Sun Broadband Wireless – Huawei e220
Globe Visibility – ZTE MF626

They all work ok. There is just one problem with ZTE modem (hassle ang ZTE)

Once you plug it in and disconnect it, you need to restart your computer before your computer can detect the modem again.

I found a little work around for this problem and maybe I can get inputs from you on this:

http://cheftonio.blogspot.com/2009/01/zte-mf626-problem-review-and-solution.html

Do you have a better solution? It’s a hassle to have a USB flash disk in your USB slot just so you can use the ZTE mf626 without problems.

thanks,

cheftonio

At last I was able to use Smart Bro on Globe Visibility’s MF626, I used Globe’s latest version of Modem Mobile Connection Software which is included in the USB. You don’t need to install Smart Bro’s Dialer.

Instructions:
1. Replace the Globe SIM with a Smart SIM.
2. Plug the ZTE MF626. ( Better to use Globe’s USB Device since its not network locked, Smart’s Dark Night is. )
3. Using the Modem Mobile Connection ( Dialer ) Go to Settings Icon ( the one with the screw driver ).
4. Add a new connections setting, name it as Smart Bro.

By the way, here’s the configuration of both networks using the dialer:

For Smart:

Dial Number: *99#
APN: internet or smartbro ( internet is faster )

For Globe:

Dial Number: *99***1#
APN: http.globe.com.ph

You don’t need any user name and password.

5. Now go to Internet Icon ( Saturn Like Icon )
6. Wait for it to initialize until you see the signal. Its your preference as well if you want to manually set the Network Settings.

Good luck! Ã¼

Hello everyone. Does anyone here have the SMARTBRO softwares / drivers and also its configuration on connection settings (e.g. DIAL NUMBER, USERNAME(if supported), PASSWORD(if supported), APN) or if you could do a screenshot…that would be better.

I have acquired a prepaid GLOBE VISIBILITY KIT. And I’m planning to have smart work on this.

If anyone here have anything relevant on what I wrote above, please contact me via email..

Hindi lahat ng lugar may 3G Signal ang Globe, Smart o Sun. Kaya’t gamit ko itong tatlo.

Currently, I use a mobile phone to connect to these 3. Just recently, I purchased Globe’s MF626 Modem and it wont allow Smart or Sun simcards.

If bart’s claim is true, does anyone have the “settings” for smart or sun to share? Bart, are referring to “db.dat” file?

Thanks!

the globe modem is not networked lock all you have to do is copy the settings of your smart bro add it to the dialer of the globe and to switch between the 2 all you have to do is swap the sim.

That’s the question! Which one is better, I keep on getting accounts of personal experience from readers on my blog.

So far, Globe Visibility has been getting good feedback.

I only had the chance to try Smart Bro plugit last July at DLSUD campus. It wasn’t a very good experience at all because the device couldn’t get a hold of a 3G/HSDPA signal and so the connection via GPRS was next to useless.

So for now, I’d say it’s location, location, location!

SmartBro on USB1 and Globe Visibility on USB2!

:)

NOTE: you can’t use both providers in one but you can switch it. however, don’t put globe visibility on USB1 if smartbro is installed on USB1. They should be installed on different ports.

@abe,

I think its not possible to run both device at the same time or you cant switch to any of both because of the conflict.. it would be advisable to uninstall or just rename the Program file folder of the device you intended not to use…

anyway can you have a review of both device? which is better? smart bro plugit or Globe Visibility?

thanks!
