Got this SMS from Globe Telecom on Christmas Eve:
Globe Advisory: We will be sending the correct settings for ur unit w/in the next 24 hrs for u to experience GPRS/MMS services on ur phone. Pls save the settings even if u have previous settings to ensure that u have the complete GPRS/MMS settings.
I wonder if this has something to do with IMEvrywhr? Or maybe they merely figured out they were giving the wrong APN all along.
For the other Globe users out there, you might have noticed that whenever you request a GPRS setting over-the-air or contact Globe’s customer support, they give the APN www.globe.com.ph. This, of course, does not work for mobile apps (except maybe for wap browsing), and we figured out for ourselves that we should use internet.globe.com.ph instead.
By the way, I did receive a setting configuration for Globe within 24 hours. I also got a “feature not supported error” on my Nokia phone when I tried to open the message [insert smirk here]
