Smart is setting first in the Blackberry service in the Philippines by offering prepaid plans on a daily or weekly basis. This is pretty good news for those who have open-line BB phones bought without a post-paid plan before.
The daily unlimited rates are Php50 for 24 hours and Php300 for one week.
To activate:
Text in “BB DAY” to 2077 for the daily activation.
Text in “BB WEEK” to 2077 for the weekly activation.
The unlimited plan is only allowed for Push Mail and Messaging (Blackberry, YM, Google Talk and MSN). Regular browsing charge will apply when subscriber access the web browser using WAP Smart APN (Smart Internet).
I have this problem too… I have a Smart Postpaid plan. Once I heard that they were offering unlimited BB Monthly for only PHP1200/month, I immediately had my Data Plan 700 disconnected and availed of the BB Monthly. IT SUCKED!!!!! Upon confirmation of “BB MONTH,” I was able to use it fine for the first 3-4 days… HOWEVER, after the 3-4 days, the service suddenly stopped… I called BB HOTLINE, *888, emailed Smart Customer Care and even went to the Smart Wireless center twice here in Cebu but was advised that I was charged with the PHP1200 (Even if I havent used it for almost 2 weeks already!!!) and problem is currently (until today) being investigated…. SUCKS RIGHT?!??!?!!?
This happened last MArch 30 and up until now, April 11, NO ADVISE YET.
Seriously, SMART IS SO FRUSTRATING!
HELP! HELP!!
Any way for me to end my Smart contract and switch to Globe without being chargeD?????
To eternal happiness
Hi its so nice to know you.
As you know. Smart isn’t that smart. They suck..

Tried Miguel’s instruction, turned my MMS ON then registered, didn’t even pulled out my battery and it worked! Thank you, Miguel. NOw all I have to do is wait for my billing statement next month to see how that 10 peso (unsure) automatic reconnection charge will reflect/affect my bill.
Has anyone tried the monthly 1200 package? Does it work? 2x nako nag attempt ng BB montlhy ayaw, pag BB WEEK ang bilis mag regsiter! Any inputs?

internet browsing setup is automatic when you received your service book. Depending on the bb you use, you’ll have an option to use either “internet browser” or “wap smart” as your default browser configuration
I’ve tried that. But only wap smart and hot browser is appearing in my browser option

hey guys, did you ever receive this message after logging in to http://www.smart.blackberry.com/ ?
“Cannot log in:

your wireless service provider at 888-1111, or *888 from your cellphone.”
I called *888 but all they suggested was to visit https://provisioning.ap.blackberry.com/ which was also to no avail.
Can anyone help?

same problem here please someone helo
my browser icon on the menu sometimes disappears. why can this be? i cant access anymore FB and Twitter even if i use the hotspot browser. when my subscription expires, do i have to delete everything that was installed after the activation, and then subscribe again?
I’ve been using thus pre_paid plan for almost a month now.. And I’m very happy with it
Those who r not able to receive an activation message..
Delete all ur service books, u won’t be able to delete the one that says provisioning.. After that, txt BB DAY or WEEK to 2207..u will receive a txt that ur already subscribed, after tha(, reboot ur BB.. Then u will be able to receive an activation e-mail on ur e-mail acct on ur handset..
@doris u juz have to reboot ur phone if the web browser icon has gone missing..
Hi i hope you can help me here. I purchased a BB9700 from Singapore and after following the globe operator on how to configure my phone she tells me (after registering it) that I can’t use my phone because its not provided by globe) So I complained and now they’re processing my unsubscription to globe blackberry.
Anyway, my question is… will my open line bb be recognized by smart? because I will gladly move to smart if that was the case. Thank you.

All you have to do is to tell globe to ungregister your BB with them. Btw, that thing about buying your BB from them is bullshit. My mom got her BB abroad and she’s subscribed to globe. She just told them she got her BB from them. They really can’t tell because they sell bb’s for prepaid accounts too. Anyway once they unregister your BB with them, just plug in a smart sim, whether prepaid or smart gold lite and send BB DAY to 2077 and it will automatically configure itself.
@ Rocky thank you so much. My BB’s working perfectly now.
Can anyone help us, my wife is in the phil. an here in abroad, she is subscribed in BBM now, but cannot use the BBM, I sent an invitation since I know her Blackberry PIN, but she can’t see my invitation.
Service Provider:Smart
BB Unit: 8520
Can someone help me to guide her to configure the unit.
Appreciate your kind help here.
Many thanks.
