Hmmmm...some people didn't research well before buying it.some wanted it for downloads... But the stuff is nt good for download at alllllllll......

The download speed is very slow even at 3g. And the blackberry phone seriously overheat when used as hotspot. The fully charged battery would just die instantly withing 20 minutes of hotspot together with the annoying slow network speeds

How do I migrate to other package on Visafone line?

Simply dial the designated short codes e.g. (*444*package code#).

From all these ive noticed that a whole lot is changed, for those with poor reception, please make the swap, get the compensation, then confirm to us the BB plan still works, then we might take the dive, for me tho, am in for the whole package, Data and Voice, and now my current plan rocks, 5 naira a min to calls to any network, which will be changed to only lesser if you pay a rental, i dont do rentals.

From whats there its not a must, our credit wouldn't be moved nor transferred, a huge NO for me, i'd prefer to top up with the ATM and online means i still use, no Data transfer another turn off, but for anyone with poor Visa reception, dive to the MTN sim with Visa package option mine was embedded to my phone so another turn off, other packages there are mouth watering, for me am okay with Visa at its current state. Would love to see the new changes tho, if anyone migrates, pls share the details, you just might help another customer decide.

My Is that...if we migrate... Are we the bb users still going to be able to subscribe to the 10tb plan..I think so...cos from wat I read..it has nothing to do with our data...and I also think we can nw put the sim inside any bb gone and use... Since the sim is nw converted to gsm..

My nigga. CDMA technology is getting old and outdated. Maximum speed of cdma 1x is around 365KBps and to get to that speed is practically not possible. D speed variation is usually around 1KBps to 100+ KBps , u can't compare that speed with hspa+ of mtn glo and etisalat. Every blackberry 7 user knows that if a blackberry phone is left on 3g the battery goes down very very fast and 3g also makes some of the Bb phones get hot that's y most Bb users prefer to switch to ''2g only'' if u know what that means

I have Curve 7 (BlackBerry 9320) and is also Vodafone with me, how will I know if it can be converted to use Visafone network. Urgent reply pls.

something people have been using since. Buy the phone, they will configure for 2k and u pay 1k subsequently. It is not very fast but i usee it to download in the night just on hotspot and connect my C8 and laptop.

I'm in Lagos bro. And where exactly did u configure your own BB phone to work with Visafone or I will just take it down to nearby visafone office nearest to me.
Wouldn't mind if I can have your phone no pls as I can't afford to buy another BB for this thanks.

Please who browses with visaphone in Ibadan. How's the network speed?

Is this data recommended for downloading /video streaming?

Is this offer still on or has stopped?
And is it truelly unlimited as it says on its site coz I saw "fair usage applies"

Pls if I subscribe will I still be able to subscribe to the unlimited bb plan on the bb?

Does anyone have for sale?
