How did you knw he's a small boy!.. What if he has it "So big" inbetween the two legs

*just jokin*

MsNas:

Depends on the phone you want.

An iPhone 6 plus with T-mobile (no contract) is $750
Samsung S5 is around $350 or thereabout

A sim card should be less than $50. I actually paid $20 or so when I first came and got a SIM Card. But it might vary based on location.

zeezahbee:
It's actually $10-12 if you buy from a shop.

I still got a t-mobile sim for $0.99 or even eBay or even amazon but it all be shipped. So for newcomer, it's better to get it in a shop for $10

Snazzygirl oo. Snazzy aye. How far?

profojah:

That means I'll start saving inside my kolo from now on!. So that I'll have enough by the time I break the kolo when I'm about to leave for america!..

DARKLIGHT:


Hi, Zeezahbee! Does it mean that one pays $10 every month for just buying a sim? Please elucidate.

Snazzygirl:

Nope. U pay for a SIM card once and that's it! U only pay for your service monthly. E.g I bought a ultra mobile SIM card on ebay for $1, shipping included. Buying the same SIM card in a shop will definitely cost me more because that's just the way it is. Every month I have to pay for service, so I can make calls and text. For ultramobile, the cheapest monthly payment is $19. If I subscribe for that plan, that means every month I only have to pay $19. Makes sense now?

After first semester as graduate(Masters) student, can one transfer his credit hours to another school? How does one go about transferring?

DARKLIGHT:


Boss, you are so hilarious. Mehhn, it's crazy. Now I know why our gurus emphasize on acing GRE to help get funding. Getting funding can really reduce the "heart attack" one might get for studying in US. To prepare and rewrite GRE can be tiring. I don't know how guys write it twice or thrice. If one has gotten to know this thread before writing GRE, it could have been better. I implore all prospective students that plans to do postgraduate studies to get the necessary materials and study hard. Getting funding from school saves a whole lot of stress.

profojah:

That's it bro!, To be funded will atleast reduce one's heavy financial burden. I always pray to be as lucky as my padi Kenkool. #Mouth-watery offering#

Hi guys, good day to y 'all. I am about to go for studies in the US. Here are the highlights of my story:

I returned from the UK on the 31st of January 2015 after completing my masters in Electronics and Communications Engineering. After consulting with my parents, I decided that It will be good to go for a second masters in computer information systems in the US, so I started preparing. However after following this thread for a while now l think I might have committed some blunders:
1) l selected 4 schools all located in Texas.
2) l already have a Masters from the Uk though In a different subject area from the one I am planning to do now
3) 1 haven't really settled down to work. Its been from one academic environment to another. 2000-2006 secondary school 2006-2011 Undergraduate UNN studied electronic engineering , 2012-2013 NYSC, 2013-2014 MSc Uk, 2015 till date: Been Involved in both a professional course on prince 2 foundation and Practitioner and preparing for this my US masters.

The main reason for embarking on this US MSc being l want to have a broad base especially in ICT and Engineering. Don't want any form of employment drawback to my dream Career.
please Guys advice me on this whole Issue. I will be booking an interview date after we have all brainstormed and trashed this my Issue. Expected to resume school as from 18th of August.

Thanks In advance

I have an app in my phone I have been using for like 2years now. I can call US and Canada for free and when I need to call international number I just buy unit with my card. You can also text as well but you need an Internet connection to do that. I used it to communicate with my school during my admission process. Those in the U.S. It will best work for you guys if only you have Wifi or you get a network without subscribing their plan if it's possible like that.

DARKLIGHT:


MS in CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, hardly gets funding.

MsNas:

It's quite different. Such won't work here.

This is because, in Nigeria you can receive calls even if you have no subscription or credit on your phone. Here, if your monthly subscription ends, that is the day you cease to make or even receive calls. You can't receive calls if you don't pay your monthly bill. So for your app to work, you actually have to have call minutes on your line which means paying some money, even if its the lowest plan your provider has.

Oh okay...what about using phones like iPhone wereby you can still use wifi without a working line?? Cos it's an app which requires mobile connection before it works so if I have were to always connect to wifi what do you think? Lol just trying to see if one can safe some cash.

I wouldn't give too much credence to that. There is a pretty hard cieling at about 28 (to be starting training) which would make you a pilot by 30. Mind you, this means you have your bachelors completed and have commissioned in your branch by 28. It might be closer to 26 for helicopter pilots because their training is longer.

You fly for the first 8 years or so, but as you are moving up the ranks you are becomming more of a planner or a staff officer. You still fly after that - and they always consider themselves pilots - but it's just to maintain the minimum number of hours really.

I don't know as much about warrant officer flight programs (they are similar, but different), but warrant officers fly for their entire careers and are considered more of technical specialists in flight operations. If it is something you are really interested, talk to the different branches. Marines, Navy and Air Force all have fixed wing (jets and propeller airplanes), and all branches, including Army, have options for helicopters.

Aint you suppose to come this fall Owo kolo can't do oooo. You Need real ego ( money)

zeezahbee:
So it means you have to be beside a wifi all day and all night. Santa, this your name no suit you oooo. Paying phone bill should be the last problem you can ever face here. Rent is there, electricity,tuition and food.

Your solution is get simple mobile or t-mobile and go for the $29 plan. Unlimited call and SMS to any USA line. Then you can use wifi when you are home or In school
