That didn’t take too long. Learned about this a couple of days ago but held off until it was official and the prepaid prices have been finalized. This is Globe Telecom’s response to Smart’s Unlimited Prepaid Blackberry Plans.
Subscribers can get unlimited BlackBerry service on their BlackBerry smartphones with new prepaid service plans for daily, weekly or monthly rates.
Daily Personal BlackBerry: Php50
5-Day Personal BlackBerry: Php220
Monthly Personal BlackBerry: Php1,200
The rates are almost similar to that of Smart. Smart’s weekly is Php300 for 7 days while Globe’s 5-day price is Php220.
The new prepaid BlackBerry service plans provide unlimited access to (push) email including Yahoo! Mail and Gmail; instant messaging via BlackBerry Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, and Windows Live Messenger; and social networking sites such as Facebook and Flickr.
To activate the prepaid BlackBerry service plans and experience unlimited BlackBerry service all day just text BB ON
The prepaid BlackBerry service will be activated on the customer’s Globe prepaid account and BlackBerry smartphone within 24 hours following the text message registration. Internet browsing is not included in the unlimited service and will be charged like any GPRS service for prepaid subscribers — P5 for 15 minutes for time-based browsing or P0.15/KB for volume-based browsing.
Note: Free use on Blackberry APN only. Additional charges will apply when Globe APN is used.
@tin if you read the lengthy thread of comments above, you’ll find a lot of the people just do a simple battery pull. That works/solves almost everything. Try it!
I myself can’t guarantee it though, since i’ve been using the service without a hitch.
@damnvixen that makes sense. Akala ko ganun kabilis magpalit ng mga number ang mga tao these days (all though dati nung may mga SIM swap na nangyayari, sobrang bilis talaga palitan number).
Hey! I tried it last night, 50 denomination and until now, it’s not working! my gprs/edge indicators are still lower case. i called customer service and what scared me most is when they said it is not 100% guarantee that it will work on BB that aren’t bought from globe. It so happened that i got mine from abroad, in Saudi Arabia. Is anyone here experiencing the same trouble? HELP please!
This is my 5th time to renew… the past 4 times have worked properly, only had to wait 10 minutes each. It’s been a couple of hours now since I registered and my gprs/edge indicators are still lower case.
How long does it usually take for you guys??? I hate globe sometimes!!
@benz yup ok na ok.. basta openline lang yan
ok lang ba mag register kahit hindi sa globe binili ung BB.. kasi ung BB ko galing sa US? help pls
same problem as lala, im using BB9700 from the states. i was able to use it for a day tapos next day. cant connect na daw. error message kept on getting msg that im in a area that can’t handle data communication.what to do help! thanks
@lala, are you subscribed to Globe Prepaid Blackberry? If not, blackberry phones requires a blackberry subscription for you to use the data connection using the globe network.
i need help with a BB9700 unlocked from the u.s, cant connect to the internet using globes wap, i keep getting a message, that im in a area that can’t handle data communication what to do? thanks
for me lumipat ako sa globe after registering sa smart kc globe user tlga ako.. i was just trying out smart kc cla ung nauna sa prepaid bis service.. so when globe offered it, the natural thing for me to do was migrate my bis to globe.. ^^
The ViXeN’s LaiR
I was just wondering, bakit ang daming mga palipat-lipat?
Kung nag-Smart BlackBerry prepaid na yung iba, bakit lumipat pa ng Globe? Ano po bang problem with Smart? Di po ba parehas lang?
ok lang ba khit hindi ko sa globe bnili ung unit ko? kasi nakapagregister na ako for almost a week sa glode…tpos d other day nagregister ulet ako… ngexpire na ung registration ko d ko man lang nagamit…tumawag ako sa globe sabi ng customer rep nila…wala daw clang magagawa abt my problem kasi d ko daw sa knila binili ung unit ko…until now wala pa din ako BIS…2 araw na ako nagregister hoping na magamit ko ung BIS…ang problem until now wala pa din….ano kaya pwede ko gawin? Help po….
so ibig sabihin, i need to do a battery pull everytime i will renew service to this one???
This works on my BB Storm 9530 :) Thank you, Globe!
my problem is solved. battery pull solves it.
i have the same problem with ms joanna ong. i did not subscribe to smart BIS for two days already and today, i switched to globe. before subscribing to the globe BIS, i performed a security wipe. just the same, can’t create a new account in globe bis.
what i did was text BB ON 50 to 8888 then globe sent me the terms and conditions. i replied with BB YES then globe said thank you blah blah blah. after this thank you message, the BIS is not yet working and i still have to wait for another message saying that the BIS is already active right? and only then i can register to globe.blackberry.com. please correct me if im wrong.
All those with concerns re: renewal of service, I’ve tried renewing several times already. It really does take awhile with several battery pull-outs needed. Hope this helps.
Hi Everyone. I was able to activate my non-globe BB and everything seems to work until I tried to send some test email to my yahoo account. The device indicated: “Service blocked”. Has anybody encountered this and had some solutions to make it work? Thanks in advance.
@puhretty .. i got renewal problem also.. i can’t register to BB enterprise ..
@joanna ong .. register ka lang http://globe.blackberry.com. yan din problem ko nung nag subscribe ako .. pag ka tapos ko mag register.. na ok na ..
pin me214FC72D ..
wifi gamit ko, magagamit ko pa rin services nang BB kahit d ako naka unli ..
I’m a Smart user before and then I switched to Globe and I can’t register to http://globe.blackberry.com. I get the same error, “Your account has been suspended. Please contact the system administrator.” What should I do? Please email me for answers. Thanks! :)
Globe and Smart can make BB as auto renew service. If the users don’t want the service anymore they can go to business center or send message network carried to terminate the service. What do you think guys? Parang laging may problem kasi sa renewal ng service.
