Globe Bug Sim For Sale

Posted by Boffill Monday, March 4, 2013

A few weeks back, I mentioned about the glitch on Globe’s unlimited internet promos. I have seen online that there are still a lot of people who are able to take advantage of this and were able to get a free connection from Globe thru bugging their sim card. I’d say these people are still lucky that they weren’t caught by Globe Telecoms yet. One thing is for sure, Globe is making their best to fix this issue.

On an online community where I am a bit active, I have seen lots of users who are even abusing this problem by selling their bugged sim cards. I tried googling about this issue and I think it’s not only from the forum I’m on that it’s very rampant. Even on the other online forum, selling of bugged sim cards is very common. Selling of Globe bugged sim is not only common from online forum but also to some online selling portal like Sulit.

I think they shouldn’t be doing this if they would still want to enjoy this free connection they get from Globe. Globe bugging tools are enough I suppose. Maybe they should just share the process on how to bug Globe’s sim card instead of selling it. There is a big probability that Globe Telecoms is already aware about this issue and I think they are handling the situation. Some guys online should learn what low profile is.

Globe Bug Sim

Posted by Boffill Monday, January 21, 2013

Globe bug Sim. Globe bug has been very rampant nowadays specially online. I admit I was able to benefit at it once but I think Globe Telecom caught my number and didn't allow any registration from me anymore. Globe bug has two types, the Supersurf and Unlialltrio. If you were able to bug your sim thru registering to those promo I have mentioned, you can now enjoy a one month of free internet to your mobile phone or globe tattoo broadband. There's a lot of tricks available online so if you want to bug your globe Sim card, go ahead and search for it using your favorite search engine.

There are actually 2 modes on bugging your globe sim card, one is by sending the promo code and dialing the *143# on your dial pad and another is by web registration or commonly called web trick. Some filipino's are too clever to even create a dedicated software for bugging also called bugging tools. When I tried this trick, I used the sms plus dial trick but it was really hard for me to register to the promo. They said that there are specific sim cards that you can use to register but I think that notion isn't true. I believe that there are right timing in bugging though. Globe Telecom actually knows about this issue and I think they are currently handling the situation. I heard that some can still be able to register for free but some are not lucky and I belong to those unlucky people. It is a was between globe's subscriber and the company. I'm sure there would still be a new trick to be leaked by some clever minds soon, I just don't know when.

Smart All-In Mega250, a Mega Trick for Smart?

Posted by Boffill Saturday, December 15, 2012

Smart All-IN 250, big X!

Last month, I mentioned about this “cool” new feature from Smart Telecommunications called Mega All-in 250. The promo offers unlimited text to all mobile networks (Smart, TNT, Sun, Globe and TM), 180 minutes calls to Smart, Talkntext and Sun Cellular and 100MB of mobile internet browsing. You can enjoy this offer for only Php250. I’m currently locked to Smart’s postpaid plan 599 with unlimited call and text to Smart and TalkNText. I never really had a chance of trying this offer and if given a chance, I would love to try it though. It’s really promising and a mouth watering offer from Smart. Personally, if I’d choose the Mega All-in 250 to my current postpaid plan, I’d go for Mega All-in 250 because it’s cheaper and I seldom call my friends and colleagues and even family. My friends enjoyed the unlimited calls anyway. Just recently, I read about this rant posted by a certain user from the forum where I’m very active about this Mega All-in 250. She was subscribed to this promo and was enjoying it at first. When she wanted to use the free 100MB Mobile browsing, she was prompted if she would like to install the Facebook mobile application and browse faster. She installed the mobile application and was still surfing. She was multitasking from browser to an application and to another application for more than an hour. Here goes the insane tactics from Smart, she checked her prepaid balance and noticed that her Php50 extra load was now missing. Doubled checked the balance and still no Php50 showing on her prepaid load. She called the customer service (*888) of Smart and asked if she was browsing normally or tried to browse the Internet using a Java application. She clarified by asking if using Java application is different from other surfing and was told by the agent that YES and was suppose to use the regular browser of her mobile phone only. It was emphasized by the agent that if she uses Java Application, she’ll be charge the regular rate for mobile browsing which is Php10/30minutes. She asked for a Supervisor since the regular agent was no help and still she was told that Smart’s regulation state that using the Java application is beyond Mega All-in 250. She asked if where she can find such reminder since it wasn’t told on the confirmation message sent by Smart when she registered for the promo and was answered “It’s our regulation Maam”. You see the catch here? You will register to their very promising promo and if you use a different application aside from the regular browser of your mobile phone, you will be charged by the regular rate of their mobile Internet. They should’ve told their customers at the very first place that Java applications or a 3rd party application is beyond Mega All-in 250. I hope NTC (National Telecommunications Commission) will investigate this incident. I know she’s not the only one who was tricked by Smart with this promo, let your voice be heard by posting a comment below and I’m hoping that Smart will do the necessary actions for this incident.

My Twitter Has Been Hacked!

Posted by Boffill Sunday, July 24, 2011

Last time I logged in to my account at Twitter was last week. I am not really fond of twitting twits to my Twitter friends but I always value my account. I can contact my cousins and friends thru twitter at times especially when they are not logged in to their Facebook account. This morning, when I logged in to Twitter, I noticed that the spams I get from last week were still there. I first noticed this spam when some of my friends at Facebook were complaining about it. By the way, my Twitter and Facebook were linked to each other. I checked on it and it was there, I checked the apps and websites that have an access to my Twitter and none of them were suspicious. I don’t really know what’s happening now, I tried to check on the Help page of Twitter but have not gotten any good result. Now, I’m frustrated about it because it’s spamming my account and I’ll have to unlink my Facebook and Twitter so that my Facebook won’t get affected. I still need some help about it. I hope this one will be fixed soon!

Customize the looks of your Globe Tattoo Dashboard

Posted by Boffill Sunday, September 12, 2010

Disclaimer: I am not held liable if you happen to mess up the codes of your Globe Tattoo or Huawei Dongle.

This tutorial is not created by me, I have just stumbled this at Symbianize. Credits goes to cmddyc of Symbianize
Step 1:
Make sure your Globe Broadband Application is not running.If it is then close the application.

Step 2: (Making the logo.png)
Open your favorite photo editor(ex. Photoshop).
Create a new canvass with a dimension of 360 px by 40 px.
Just draw your artwork there. You can also copy and paste an image and then edit it to fit the canvassSave your drawing as logo.png(don't change the filename and extension) <--this will be the image that will appear
across the toolbar of the dashboard.
After saving your first image file.Copy and paste that image file in the "C:\Program Files\Globe Broadband" folder
Click YES if you are asked to replace the existing image file.
That's it for the first image.

Step 3: (Making the OperatorBand.jpg)
Again using your favorite photo editor create a new canvass with a dimension of 512px X 250px.
Draw your artwork there.
Save your drawing as operatorband.jpg(again DON'T CHANGE the filename and extension for the sake of this tutorial)
Now copy the 2nd image file you have just created and paste it inside the "C:\Program Files\Globe Broadband\plugins\DialupUIPlugin" folder
Click yes if you are asked to replace the existing image file.(But I recommend you rename the existing just in case you want to restore the original look of your Globe Tattoo Dashboard .)

Note: You can also change the icons that are displayed on the dashboard but I will not cover that in this tutorial.
