Technology Market / Gtbank Commences Social Banking Service On Facebook by sestob(m): 9:33pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
In a bid to promote financial inclusion in the country, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc on Wednesday unveiled social banking service on popular social networking site, Facebook. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony centre in Lagos, the Managing Director (M.D) and Chief Executive Officer ( C.E.O), GTBank, Mr. Segun Agbaje, said the service would allow the public to open accounts and get customer service support via Facebook. He said the bank’s objective was to engage members of the public where they worked, lived, stayed or played, adding, “The service will enable persons on social networks like Facebook to commence a banking relationship and perform transactions 24/7, safely and conveniently, without having to leave the platform.” Agbaje said the service presently only allowed people to open GTBank accounts, but pointed out that the bank would introduce new service options that included money transfers, airtime purchases and bill payments. The GTBank boss added that the institution was committed to the convenience of its stakeholders and would continue to introduce value-adding alternative channels in the future. “GTBank has been at the forefront of industry innovations within the Nigerian financial service sector over the last 22 years. The bank is the first Nigerian institution to have recognised online/social channels as an emerging service point, and has over one million followers on Facebook; the largest for any African bank,” Agbaje said. The bank recently introduced the GTBank mobile money that allows customers and non-customers to perform transfers, payments and other transactions from their mobile phones to any mobile phone subscriber in the country.

Politics / Federal Government Set To Launch Government Servicesportal by sestob(m): 8:48pm On Apr 11, 2013 |
The Hon Minister of Communication Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson will on Tuesday 16th of April launch the Federal Government Service Portal in Abuja as part of the initiatives for ‘Getting Government Online’’ to improve service delivery to citizens and other stakeholders. This is in furtherance of one of the key mandates of the Ministry centred on deploying information and communication technology to drive transparency in governance and improve the quality of public service delivery. The primary objective of deploying the Government Service Portal, an initiative of the Ministry of Communication Technology according to a statement made available by the special Adviser on Media to the Minister, Efem Nkanga is to create an easy and single point of entry for Nigerians and other stakeholders to access government services online. The Services Portal which is built using the latest web technology brings together a directory of existing online government services, as well as newly automated services from the ministries of Industry, Trade and Investment, Agriculture, Education, Health and Communication Technology. Some of the newly automated processes and services on the portal are patent and trademark registration, evaluation and accreditation of academic certificates, farmer’s registration, registration and accreditation of seed companies, seed import and export permit, application for spectrum license, License Procedure for Class type license and License procedure for individual type license. The Services Portal has several key benefits which include improved access to government information for citizens and improved efficiency in the delivery of government services to the citizenry. The Portal is a pilot project that will evolve over-time to enhance service delivery and impact positively on the ability of government to drive the use of ICT in governance, as well as promote the development of institutional ICT framework and tools that will enhance citizens’ engagement and online delivery of government services. In addition the portal and the related web services will enable citizens and businesses better interact with government Source: http://www.surestinfo.com/2013/04/federal-government-set-to-launch-government-services-portal.html |

Health / HIV Cured In Baby For The First Time: Scientists by sestob(m): 4:18pm On Mar 04, 2013 |
Researchers say they have, for the first time, cured a baby born with HIV -- a development that could help improve treatment of babies infected at birth. There is an important technical nuance: researchers insist on calling it a "functional cure" rather than a complete cure. That is because the virus is not totally eradicated. Still, its presence is reduced to such a low level that a body can control it without the need for standard drug treatment. The only fully cured AIDS patient recognized worldwide is the so-called "Berlin patient," American Timothy Brown. He is considered cured of HIV and leukemia five years after receiving bone marrow transplants from a rare donor naturally resistant to HIV. The marrow transplant was aimed at treating his leukemia. But in this new case, the baby girl received nothing more invasive or complex than commonly available antiretroviral drugs. The difference, however, was the dosage and the timing: starting less than 30 hours after her birth. It is that kind of aggressive treatment that likely yielded the "functional cure," researchers reported Sunday at the 20th annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in Atlanta, Georgia. What researchers call dormant HIV-infected cells often re-start infections in HIV-infected patients within a few weeks after antiretroviral treatment stops, forcing most people who have tested HIV-positive to stay on the drugs for life or risk the illness progressing. "Prompt antiviral therapy in newborns that begins within days of exposure may help infants clear the virus and achieve long- term remission without lifelong treatment by preventing such viral hideouts from forming in the first place," said lead researcher Deborah Persaud, of Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, Maryland. It appears to be the first time this was achieved in a baby, she said. The baby was infected by her HIV-positive mother, and her treatment with therapeutic doses of antiretroviral drugs began even before her own positive blood test came back. The typical protocol for high-risk newborns is to give them smaller doses of the drugs until results from an HIV blood test is available at six weeks old. Tests showed the baby's viral count steadily declined until it could not longer be detected 29 days after her birth. The child was given follow-up treatment with antiretrovirals until 18 months, at which point doctors lost contact with her for 10 months. During that period she was not taking antiretrovirals. Researchers then were able to do a series of blood tests -- and none gave an HIV-positive result. Natural viral suppression without treatment is an exceedingly rare occurrence, seen in fewer than half a percent of HIV- infected adults, known as "elite controllers," whose immune systems are able to rein in viral replication and keep the virus at clinically undetectable levels. Experts on HIV have long wanted to help all HIV patients achieve elite-controller status. Researchers say this new case offers hope as a game-changer, because it suggests prompt antiretroviral therapy in newborns indeed can do that. Still, they said, their first priority is learning how to stop transmission of the virus from mother to newborn. ARV treatments of mothers currently stop transmission to newborns in 98 percent of cases, they say. "Our next step is to find out if this is a highly unusual response to very early antiretroviral therapy or something we can actually replicate in other high-risk newborns," Persaud pointed out. The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Foundation for AIDS Research.

Nairaland / General / Solution To Painful Memories by sestob(m): 6:22pm On Mar 03, 2013 |

When you lose someone you love, either by choice or just by circumstance, it is inevitably very difficult on a person emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The grief from a break up, or the death of a close loved one is obviously a very trying time for a person, and can be some of the hardest days of a person's life. There are a few things to remember when going through situations such as these. Remember that it is okay to grieve, crying is a good way to release the pain of losing someone, and laughing at the good times and fun memories you shared is also a good coping mechanism. It is also important to remember that everything happens for a reason, and to take everything you learned from the relationship you shared with that person you just broke up with, or lost unexpectedly, and use that life experience to better yourself and your future. Though it may be fresh on your mind just try your hardest to remember that this is just a season in your life, everyone faces difficulties and setbacks, but it's how you overcome them that makes you who you are. Life goes on... Source: http://www.surestinfo.com/2013/03/inspirational-painful-memories.html?wprptest=0 |

Religion / Who Mocked God by sestob(m): 3:59pm On Feb 25, 2013 |
TRUE DOCUMENTED STORY WHO mocked God : John Lennon (Singer): Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: ‘Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that.. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him’ (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times. Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died. Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet): During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:’God, that’s for you.’ He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner. The man who built the Titanic After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: Not even God can sink it’ The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic Marilyn Monroe (Actress) She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: ‘I don’t need your Jesus’. A week later, she was found dead in her apartment Bon Scott (Singer) The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: Don’t stop me; I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell’. On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit. Campinas (IN 2005) In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend….. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.’ She responded: ‘Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here…..It’s Already Full ‘ Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle. Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive…. God can not be mocked… Act wisely Source: http://www.surestinfo.com/2013/02/who-mocked-god.html?wprptest=0 |

Science/Technology / Four Nigerian Students Generate Electricity From Urine by sestob(m): 8:39am On Feb 14, 2013 |
[img][/img] Nothing is really a waste in the real sense of the word. Almost anything one can think of is reusable. Everything has some value one way or the other. This was what four teenage secondary school girls in Lagos set out to prove. Disturbed by the incessant deaths of Nigerians, most of the time, an entire family, from carbon monoxide poisoning from fossil-fuel generator, the yo-yo movement of petroleum products prices, environmental degradation and the recent fuel subsidy scam, four Senior Secondary School II students of Doregos Private Academy, Ipaja, Lagos, decided to find solution to the problem. In a chat with Vanguard Learning, the girls – Duro-Aina Adebola, Bello Eniola, Akindele Abiola and Faleke Oluwatoyin, shed some some light on the project and what they hope to achieve. Excerpts: An idea is born: Said Duro-Aina Adebola, leader of the group; “I read on the internet that a family of five died of carbon monoxide poisoning so I asked myself what could be done to reduce these incessant deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning? From left; Faleke Oluwatoyin, Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola and Bello Eniola From left; Faleke Oluwatoyin, Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola and Bello Eniola “We were always encouraged to bring up ideas to help solve human problems so one day, we were in the Guest Room of our school; we thought of what could be done to solve this problem. We thought of what we could use to power the generator instead of using the conventional fuel, something that can replace conventional fuels and that will not release any obnoxious substance like carbon monoxide into the environment; something that will also be cheap for Nigerians. You know that when the issue of fuel subsidy removal came up, there was hike in prices of petroleum products,” she said. ‘A problem well stated is a problem half solved,’ according to Charles Kettering, so having identified the problem, the girls moved on to seek solution. “We started looking at various materials. We looked at water but we felt that the amount of voltage it will take to break the water molecule is large and we wanted something small so we can have a larger output. We decided to look at waste products because Nigerians always opt for something they won’t have to spend their money on. So we started looking at different materials, one of which was urine. We were looking for something that is liquid, something that has hydrogen molecules in it. We also observed that the amount of voltage it takes to break a urine molecule is less than the amount it takes to break the hydrogen molecule in water. So we opted for urine since we have a higher output,” she said. The generator: “The generator is a conventional fuel-based generator. It combusts slower than the hydrogen gas so we had to retard the ignition of the generator. We actually retarded the back-timing on the generator by 11 degrees.” Components: “We have an electrolytic cell, water filter, an empty gas can, borax and our retarded generator. The electrolytic cell is an old battery cell we got from the junk yard; we removed the contents of the cell and then used perforated stainless steel mesh as the electrodes so urine is placed in the electrolytic cell, where it is electrolysed, releasing hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture. This mixture then goes into the water filter. The water filter is to remove any impurities that might have come in with the gas and then it goes into an empty gas cylinder which serves as the gas storage. “The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas. Borax serves as a drying agent and this is because we do not want lots of moisture going into the generator. Also, borax helps to remove any other impurities that might have come in with the gas. The purified hydrogen gas is then pushed into the generator,” she explained. Asked how much it will cost to acquire a unit, she said; “It’s something we are still working on because this is a prototype which cost us about N4,000 apart from the generator. We are working on improving this so it can just be our own generator, a Nigeria-made generator that works based on urine. Advantages: For this generator, the exhaust gas is the water vapour. It does not emit carbon monoxide like the normal fuel-based generator so this ensures clean environment for Nigerians. Again, one litre of urine can give you six hours of electricity. Appeal: “We are appealing to people to build up on what we have done. They should take up the idea and help us to improve on it so that it can be something that can be in every Nigerian home because this was not made to be lying around; it was made to be used by Nigerians. All we need is support so we can take it to the next level. We want a situation where every home can have this. We also want to make it compact so you don’t have to have different compartments, they can all be in a single unit that can just be attached to a generator.” Other projects: The students are currently working on other projects like bomb detecting radar, motor bike safety device and also paper from maize straw (agricultural waste), to save our trees and environment.

Sports / Is Wrestling Real, Fake, Acted, Or Drama?check Out by sestob(m): 5:35pm On Feb 04, 2013 |
Have you ever argued on wrestling with your friends and family or seen people arguing if the so called wrestling we watch is real or fake? I mean is it direct fight or its been acted? Or better still Are World wrestling Entertainment (WWE), formally known as World Wrestling Federation (WWF), fights for real or a mere acting? We watch them bleed, using chairs and other dangerous objects, yet there is controversy over the genuineness of the game. Some say it’s just an acting to entertain while some argue all we watch on TV is real. Characters created by the wrestlers and their promoters are written into a story that provides general guidelines for how the match is to be conducted and how it is supposed to end. In WWE, the matches are fixed. The winner is decided based on the popularity of the wrestler and the fan response. WWE is like a drama with wrestlers playing different roles. All the matches are based on a carefully written script. Chair blows, super kicks, the wrestler writhing in pain etc. are all part of the drama. WWE wrestlers are skilled professionals who deliver their finishing moves in the safest possible way. But accidents do happen and they result in injuries and blood. In this sense, WWE wrestling is entertainment, that’s why they change from WWF to WWE to portry the E that stand for ENTERTAINMENT. Just as a movie or a stage play would be, Many people pay to watch this entertainment, knowing full well that it is scripted while some don’t know. Does that means that wrestling is fake? Its true that its been acted and determined and the moves are choreographed. Wrestlers aren’t really trying to beat up and injure each other. The wrestlers enemies in the ring are really best friends, and the outlandish stories sorrounding the characters are usually not true. However calling wrestling “fake” is like calling an action movie fake. When you see a movie, you know that the actor didn’t really jump a burning car over an exploding bridge, but you are still entertained. Most wrestlers are exceptional athletes who train for many hours each day to maintain their physical condition. They practise for years to learn the moves and how to execute them safely while still making it looks dangerous. At this point I know you must have a say on this issue. Do you believe its real, acted, fake, drama, choreography? What’s your take and let’s hear your view via the comment box.

Politics / FG Appeals To World Bank Over Job Creation by sestob(m): 10:55am On Jan 15, 2013 |
The Federal Government, yesterday, appealed to the World Bank for its support in the nation’s efforts towards creating jobs for its huge unemployed population. Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, told visiting World Bank Vice President for Africa, Mr. Makhtar Diop, at a meeting in Abuja, that the Federal Government had put in place a wide range of programmes and progjects for job creation and needed the help of the bank to maximize the impacts. According to her, “Nigeria needs the support of the World Bank in sectors such as as agriculture, water resources, education, infrastructure, particularly power, where it has enormous potentials.” In his response, Mr. Diop said he was in Nigeria to “seek guidance in areas of support for Nigeria because Nigeria was important for Africa and whatever affects Nigeria will affect the continent.” He commended Nigeria’s macro-economic policies which enabled Nigeria to post impressive growth rates of well over 6 per cent in the last few years and a time global economic performance was negative. The World Bank chief described Nigeria as a very important member of the organization and a significant player in the world economy and especially in the African region. Mr. Diop assured that the bank would partner with the Federal Government with a view to ensuring that Nigerians enjoyed the benefits of the country’s membership of the global body.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Clubs On Red Alert As Guardiola Reveals He Is Now Ready To Return To Management by sestob(m): 7:54pm On Jan 07, 2013 |
Pep Guardiola has announced he wants to return to coaching – but the former Barcelona boss is keeping his future plansclose to his chest. Guardiola, 41, who took a sabbatical from football after four years at Barca, has been widely tipped as the next permanent manager of Chelsea and has also been touted as theman most likely to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. Guardiola’s confirmation that he is now looking to return to the game will spark renewed competition for the services of the man who steered Barcelonato 14 trophies in four seasons and heap the pressure on interimChelsea boss Rafa Benitez. Batteries recharged: Pep Guardiola wants to return aftera break from football At the top: Guardiola won 14 trophies during his time as Barcelona manager Guardiola told a news conferenceat the FIFA Ballon d’Or gala in Zurich: ‘Yes I would like to come back to coaching. I have been outof coaching for ayear and it’s what I would like but there is no reason to give any more specific details. ‘I don’t have a team to go to but I would like to go back to coaching. I have taken a decision to return to coaching but beyondthat no decision hasbeen taken.’ In the hotseat: Rafa Benitez is Chelsea’s interim manager Asked if he would consider Bayern Munich, who have also been linked with a move for him, Guardiola replied that it would bea ‘lack of respect’ to talk about any team which currently has a coach. Guardiola, who has been living in New York, said he had kept a close eye on Barca since leavingthe club.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Alex Ferguson Plans To End FA Cup Drought by sestob(m): 11:38am On Jan 05, 2013 |
Alex Ferguson has set his sights on ending Manchester United’s FA Cup drought as the 11-time winners prepare to face West Ham in Saturday’s third round tie at Upton Park. United have not lifted English football’s oldest trophy since 2004 when they defeated Millwall in the final and have seen Chelsea dominate the competition in recent years, winning four of the last six tournaments. Ferguson’s team have suffered with tough draws in recent years and they lost at Liverpool last season after being beaten by Manchester City in 2011. But, with United in a strong position in the Premier League — they sit seven points clear of second placed Manchester City — Ferguson can confidently turn his attention to making a winning start to the FA Cup campaign. “Over the last three or four years we have had some really difficult ties,” Ferguson said. “When the draw comes out you hope for either a home tie or one you can navigate. This is a particularly hard one. “But I always feel, at a club like ours, the closer we get to Wembley, the better we become.” United’s match at West Ham is one of four all-Premier League ties, alongside West Bromwich Albion’s trip to Queens Park Rangers, Arsenal’s game at Swansea City, and holders Chelsea’s match at Southampton. Chelsea were stunned 1-0 by bottom club QPR in the Premier League on Wednesday and interim coach Rafael Benitez has admitted that his players are feeling the effects of the gruelling Christmas season. “I thought they were doing well and I thought that would be fine, but maybe in odd areas we were tired,” he said. “You could see we didn’t have the intensity and the pace on the pass and the movement that we were expecting.” Southampton, meanwhile, have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks after a difficult start to the season and avoided defeat for the third successive game by holding Arsenal to a 1-1 draw on New Year’s Day. Manchester City, United’s nearest rivals in the league, host second-tier Watford, with the FA Cup one of only two trophies they can now win after elimination from the League Cup and the Champions League. With many of the competition’s big names drawn against fellow top-flight sides, the chances of a major upset have been reduced, but seventh-tier Hastings United will hope to pull off a shock at Championship side Middlesbrough. Romantics will also hope to see Mansfield Town earn a place in cup history when the team from the fifth-tier Conference National host last season’s beaten finalists Liverpool on Sunday. Fixtures (1500GMT unless otherwise stated) Saturday: Brighton and Hove Albion v Newcastle United (1230GMT), Queens Park Rangers v West Bromwich Albion, Peterborough v Norwich City, Oxford United v Sheffield United, Middlesbrough v Hastings United, Charlton Athletic v Huddersfield, Barnsley v Burnley, Hull City v Leyton Orient, Southampton v Chelsea, Aldershot Town v Rotherham, Crawley Town v Reading, Manchester City v Watford, Nottingham Forest v Oldham, Derby County v Tranmere, Sheffield Wednesday v MK Dons, Crystal Palace v Stoke City, Luton Town v Wolverhampton Wanderers, Wigan Athletic v Bournemouth, Tottenham Hotspur v Coventry City, Millwall v Preston North End, Macclesfield v Cardiff City, Bolton Wanderers v Sunderland, Fulham v Blackpool, Leicester City v Burton Albion, Leeds United v Birmingham City, Aston Villa v Ipswich Town, Southend v Brentford, Blackburn Rovers v Bristol City, West Ham United v Manchester United (1715GMT) Sunday: Swansea City v Arsenal (1330GMT), Mansfield v Liverpool (1600GMT) Monday: Cheltenham v Everton (1945GMT) http://www.surestinfo.com/2013/01/alex-ferguson-plans-to-end-fa-cup-drought.html

Career / The Importance Of Having A Mentor by sestob(m): 11:59am On Jan 04, 2013 |
[img][/img]No matter how good you are at your craft, there really is nothing like being able to have a mentor. Most business owners and successful online entrepreneurs will admit that a mentor was a big part of their success. A lot of people feel like they can do everything on their own and this is something that can lead to a lot of problems. If you are serious about succeeding in life, you will need to know the importance of having a mentor. There really is nothing like having someone tell you that what you are doing is wrong. A lot of people go through life without having an idea as to what they are doing and this is why it’s important to have someone guide you. Having a mentor will take you through the steps and let you know if you make a mistake. A mentor is someone that more experience and someone that you can trust. Remember that there are mistakes that you can commit without you ever knowing about it and so that you will need to find the right mentor. In order to succeed, you will need to make sure that you find the right mentor. However, finding a mentor can be one of the toughest things to do. Though you might associate a “mentor” as someone that is older than you, a good idea is to simply just worry about their experience and knowledge. The person does not need to be older but someone that can truly guide you the right way. Whether it is your boss, teacher, coach or even a family member, it is important that you choose one correctly. If you are serious about succeeding and being able to avoid mistakes with your business or life in general, it is crucial that you find the best mentor possible.

Sports / I’m Fit For Nations Cup — Mikel by sestob(m): 11:05am On Jan 04, 2013 |
Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi has declared that he is fit for the Africa Nations Cup holding in South Africa after a slight knee complaint. Mikel was pulled off late in the second half of an EPL game against Norwich City after he suffered a knock on his knee. But on Thursday he told MTNFootball.com that he was now as fit as fiddle and ready for action to douse speculations regarding his availability for this month’s continental tournament. “I am going to be at the Nations Cup as there is nothing to worry about concerning the injury, it is over,” Mikel said. “I am okay and fit for action. I am already looking forward to play in the FA Cup game against Southampton. I was advised by the doctor to rest it for the QPR game; otherwise I was ready to play.” Injury ruled out the Chelsea star from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa at the last minute and the midfielder again reiterated that he will be at the Eagles training camp in Faro, Portugal, on Saturday. Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez said before the Queens Park Rangers game that Mikel’s knee problem was not serious. “Mikel missed the Everton clash due to a knee injury, but it is not that serious,” Benitez said. Mikel and his compatriot Victor Moses who also missed the 1-1 draw international friendly against Catalonia are billed to travel to Portugal together immediately after the cup game in England.

Webmasters / Make Indirect Calls From Your Bbm Andall Chatting Application Free by sestob(m): 11:27am On Dec 19, 2012 |
What exactly is a call, call is just the process of passing information from one person to another. Today I wanted to make some important call to my brother, in short I want to deliver a life saving message to him and when i checked my wallet to buy recharge card that was when I remembered I have spent the money. But as a sharp guy something came to my mind and I tried it and it works out perfectly. And that’s what I am sharing today for our members to start enjoying. As we all know that chatting applications are now so easy for us to get and we can also choose from them all and at the same time can have them all. CHATTING APPLICATIONS THAT CAN PERFORM THIS FUNCTIONS BBM, 2GO, NIMBUZZ, SKYPE, SH MESSENGER, EBUDDY AND ALL CHATTING APPLICATIONS All you need to make this indirect call is either BIS for blackberry users or MEGA BITE (MB) for symbian and java users. Am going to show you what I did with BIS on blackberry as example and you can just do the same with the chatting application you have. You will also end up with same result. All I did was since I don’t have money to call but I have BIS to browse. I went to recording on my phone, I recorded my voice as I was saying the entire message I want to deliver to him in details I saved and send it as files to him on BBM He downloaded it and listen to it and he replied me also using the same way. And I was able to archive my aim without buying any recharge card. You can see that I used what I have to get what I want, that’s why I have come up with this idea for you too to start making your calls just the way I did since you all have chatting applications and all Chatting application support sending of files. In case you encounter any problem, feel free to let me know by dropping it as comment and if it works for you, remember to drop a comment. Make sure you share for friends to enjoy too. Am not selfish that’s why I shared it don’t be selfish too. Source: http://www.surestinfo.com/2012/12/make-indirect-calls-from-your-bbm-and-all-chatting-application-free.html |
