Guest bensy Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 From globe website: Internet Browsing for Postpaid (eff. October 27, 2002) Modem P0.25/kB WAP via GPRS Cellphone Surfing Free how do we access WAP via GPRS? When we use Internet explorer to access websites (when my settings are set to automatic), is it internet browsing (0.25/kb) or WAP via GPRS? Can someone please explain this to us and how we can limit our internet browsing for free WAP over GPRS. By the way, how much does smart charges for this, when using their sim cards? thanks...

When we use Internet explorer to access websites (when my settings are set to automatic), is it internet browsing (0.25/kb) or WAP via GPRS?Use menu/properties to display page type. WML pages requires WAP browser. HTML pages requires internet browser. Can someone please explain this to us and how we can limit our internet browsing for free WAP over GPRS. In internet explorer, set 'Select Network=Wap Network' for access to WML pages only.
Guest mariolouis Posted July 14, 2003 Report Posted July 14, 2003 it depends on your settings. if you used internet.globe.com.ph as apn, you will get charged even if your just browsing wap pages only. change it to www.globe.com.ph. then in pocket IE, change your http:/ prefix to wsp:/.
Guest grifter Posted July 14, 2003 Report Posted July 14, 2003 or you can download WebWAPSelect so that you won't need to use wsp://
Guest ruelsantos Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 guys, lets be true to ourselves,, there is NO such free WAP over GPRS in globe.. just ask their customer care reps. :cry:
Guest bensy Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 are you saying that this is not true (from myglobe website) http://www.myglobe.com.ph/portal/featdetai...&title=features
Guest mariolouis Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 guys, lets be true to ourselves,, there is NO such free WAP over GPRS in globe.. just ask their customer care reps. :cry: i use it a lot. i'm not getting charged.
Guest dinoalbert Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 guys, lets be true to ourselves,, there is NO such free WAP over GPRS in globe.. just ask their customer care reps please explain....
Guest khe_din Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 I'm using Globe and I'm even using yahoo messenger on my phone and I'm not getting any charges as long as it is browsing it is free, but once you download stuff there are charges.
Guest virgil Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 guys, lets be true to ourselves,, there is NO such free WAP over GPRS in globe.. just ask their customer care reps. :cry: i've talked to one globe CRS--its free man. :roll:
Guest ruelsantos Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 ooppsss...yeah right, what i mean is "DOWNLOADING is charged"........but browsing is free for both SMART and Globe... sorry about that...
Guest p_boy Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 Do all mean that when i browse html's it is not free? and when i browse wap pages then it is free?
Guest mariolouis Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 ooppsss...yeah right, what i mean is "DOWNLOADING is charged"........but browsing is free for both SMART and Globe... sorry about that... wrong again! sorry man but WAP browsing and downloading (stuff other than the globe main wap site of course) via globe gprs is free. as long as your apn is www.globe.com.ph not internet.globe.com.ph which is used to browse full http pages. smart charges to both WAP and HTTP (full internet) browsing/downloading. Just FYI!
Guest dinoalbert Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 ooppsss...yeah right, what i mean is "DOWNLOADING is charged"........but browsing is free for both SMART and Globe... sorry about that... No. Browsing is not free for Smart.
Guest grifter Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 yup. WAP browsing is FREE on GLOBE. GLOBE is one of our clients and we have contacts there that can confirm this.
Guest mariolouis Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 the tricky thing here is even when you are just WAP browsing, but your apn (access point name) is internet.globe.com.ph, you will get charged.
Guest pitviper Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Guys, Can I view http's using globe gprs? is it free? If I choose automatic in data connection, how would I know that it's not Globe Dial-up (which is chargeable)?
Guest grifter Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 you can view http pages only if you set your APN to internet.globe.com.ph for internet browsing. however, you will be charged accordingly. the only thing that is free as of the moment is by using the APN www.globe.com.ph, but you can only view selected WAP sites. It is more safe to select the connection type manually rather than leaving it in automatic.
Guest kryz2per Posted July 29, 2003 Report Posted July 29, 2003 Hello Pipol. I just like to ask you if it is possible to use a Smart sim and have my connections like DNS configurations set to Globe's, Dahil nga may charge ang browsing pag s Smart. Is it possible. Please let me know the exact steps because I'm just a newby. Your help is verymuch appreciated.
