Installing Smart Bro & Globe Visibility on the same PC

Maybe you’re the only one experiencing it because you’re the only one who can afford to have both. :)

Which one do you think is faster between the two modems, is it smart plugit or Globe Visibility?

Hey yuga, im planning to buy one of them, but i want to know which is better. I know that they’re your ads, but could you make some reviews about this

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!

@jepoy – that is a good idea, just like what you do with cellphones which are not openlines, the problem is where we could get a software to unlock/hack the modem…:-)

DO YOU THINK IT WILL NOT OVER RIDE THE SMART PLUGIT INSTALLATION IF YOU’LL HAVE TO USE OTHER PORT?

You can use a USB SPLITTER. Done it and it’s working just fine ^_^V

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!

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! ü

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

after ko ma add ung smart sa globe visibity ko.

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!

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.

sir mark, yung sinasabi mo ba na ZTE MF626 globe ay yung white na flash drive size na may 3 led’s? yung model before lumabas ang globe tatoo?

Why does the configuration written by
mikee not working on my ZTEMF626 modem?

I can send/receive SMS using the SMART sim but
error pops up when i try to connect to the internet..

Pls. help.

Tnx

ano ba ang ilagay sa APN na site for smart?….

pls help… ano po ba dapat gawin? thanks….

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.

Fun Facts: Sorry, I don’t have the exact figures for some of them anymore, I’ll update it once I get back. This is via http://www.speed.io/index_en.html

Globe Visibility Speed in Pasay City: Protacio / Bangkal Makati Area: 303 Kbit/s DL speed (Smokin’)
Globe Visibility Speed in Trading Blvd. Davao City: Pretty decent.
Globe Visibility Speed in Km. 5 Maa, Davao City : Heaven Help Me. Skype can run on it though.
Globe Visibility Speed in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur: It’s less than 56k, but hey, I can still play Vampire Wars!

Hope the gurus can enlighten me on this. Love this BLOG! =) Thanks everyone!

@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.

succesfully use my globe visibility using a smart sim… i just followed the instruction above.
i already have a good signal at starmall edsa shaw.. now test on my other site. thanks to mikee… sana sinama mo na settings ng sun.. hehehe

panu po i-unlock and data card ng globe huawei?

@unlocker_ph

Thanks for unlocking my globe tatoo . i can now use smart globe and sun networks for mobile broadband. hassle free transaction at napakabait po nito. dont hesitate to deal with this person

Hi. I recently (9-02-2009) purchased a Globe Tattoo. I tried using it with my own Globe SIM card. The first time I used it, I encountered this “ERROR 619” about a port being shut for some reason, I goog1ed it forever but didn’t find any solution. After a few hours of tweaking and observing I found the solution, now I want to share it for other frustrated users as well. Using the Globe GUI (software), there was an option there (right in your face) to choose either Globe Prepaid or Globe Postpaid… it was easy to miss this option and simply click on “Connect”… my SIM was Postpaid, I chose this option, click Connect… and yeeeehhhhaaaa! I’m now typing this in the internet! :)

posible po bah na ung smart na sim ang e insert mo sa globe visiblity zte usb modem .. at gagana ? .. un buh ung instructions na nasa taas? . hmmp .. anu po buh mas mabilis SMART OR GLOBE ? >> hmmpp. i need reply plSSS >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!! tsaka panu gamitin ung smart sim ? …

Hey guys this is only for inspiration!

This really works! i have a globe visibility and a smartbro usb yung black.. and i try to use it at the same time. and it works.. magkaiba lang port ginamit.. but yung globe visibility ko eh useless na kasi bandless pa. so i try to use the smart sim also to my globe visibility. i also just found the setup here.. thanks to yugatech! but for sun di ko pa nasusubukan kung gagana yung usb ng visibility(white). I will try it kung meron setup nakapost para makaconnect ako sa sun. Meron na ba nakatry ng sun sa inyo? ok ba? kasi globe is a failure.. smart is fair enough.. i was thinking on using the sun here in makati, angono, sta.rosa laguna. dun kasi ako madalas sa mga spot na yun.
goodluck to all.

take note: using globe visibility is a big risk! meron ako globe visibility and also wimax. wala ako napakinabangan.. its a waste of time and money for me. just check all my spot. kung dun kayo wag nyo na itry!

lahat po gumagana globe, smart, sun natest ko na po lahat kung sino po ung may tanong email me or txt

Go to http://www.symbianize.com
They will unlock your modem for free, you just wait nga lng pero sandali lng.
Search mo lng dun.
You need pala to register for free din.

can i use my sun sim with the smartbro application? just had my smartbro openlined last night.. help enyone? please email me — me****@****.***

the speed of your internet will not only depend on your modem but also on some other factors as well. Location is a big consideration. another is your computer’s specs, setup and condition. Does it have enough memory for one? do you have many programs running during startup? is it virus and malware free? i’ve tried both visibility and smartbro and both works fine with me. i also hear sun is ok. if you want to use all three with no extra expense, get huawei of visibility. you can just request it to be unlocked remotely in some sites without the need of you going to unlockers who charge very high. the software is even free if you know where to look. so why burden yourself with the thought that you’ll lose more money? all you need is patience and determination. just be resourceful. there’s almost nothing impossible nowadays with the internet at your fingertips:) who knows? you might also learn how to use your modem for free internet….:)

04/24/2011 PLS HELP!! E155 Crashes when plugged in to Windows 7 ultimate (laptop)

I have a Globe Tattoo HUAWEI model E155 driver installed in my laptop (OS Windows 7 Ultimate). It worked perfectly until I had someone configured the modem with Smart and Ultrasurf to have an unlimited web browsing..

It worked for about a week. I had no issues with it until yesterday when I was trying to install an aplication, “Connectify” (www.connectify.me).
I was able to download the application, clicked RUN and while installing it, I received an SMS thru my modem (Smart Buddy SIM) and all of a sudden, the display turned BLUE( says “crashing dump at the very bottom) and restarted my laptop..

At first, I thought it was my OS that crashed but it didn’t do the problem after restarting it until I connected the USB again.
Globe dashboard worked okay, detecting signal but when I click “CONNECT” it says:

>opening port
>authenticating
> all device connected
then it CRASHES again…

I did several troubleshooting steps:
1. uninstalled Globe broadband and Connectify
2. Restarted my laptop
3. Reinstalled Globe Huawei
4. Restarted
5. Tried to connect but did the same problem..

Please help!

Hey Need a help. I updated my Globe PLug it Broadbanc Model Huawei E153u-2 with a smart Huawei E1553 on the Smart.. and the CD drive for my Tattoo is Smartbro.. i tried the firmware for this model in globe but its still the same!! nid HELP!. so stupid..
