Is your iPhone eating up your phone bill?

iphone3gs2[1]Mine does. In a shocking discovery, apparently my bill for Globe is now around 8,000php. That is soooooooooooo BIG that I now hate Globe. I called their CustHelp (211) and the agent there did not help solve that problem.

So the problem is the Wi-Fi.

The Globe CustHelp via 211 did not tell me this but good thing the people at applei.ph community told me about “Kahit naka wi-fi ka, pag nag fluctuate yung wi-fi, automatic mag co-connect sa 3G yung iphone” (even if you are using your wi-fi, once the connection between your router and iphone fluctuates, your iPhone will connect to the 3G service.)

What to do?

iPhone users, who are fond of connecting to the internet through their home wi-fi should change the APN settings to make sure you will not be billed by Globe or SMART on internet use.

How?

1. Go to Settings > General > Network

2. Change APN from internet.globe.com.ph to something like fake.internet.globe.com.ph

3. Reset your “Usage” for Cellular Data Network.

4. Connect to the internet via wi-fi and check if your “Usage” doesn’t get any bytes.

Once you have confirmed that you can connect to the internet through your home wi-fi without the Usage getting any bytes, then you won’t be getting those WHOPPING POSTPAID BILLS anymore.

Unreleased Michael Jackson song “This is it” unveiled

October 13, 2009 · Filed Under Music · Comment 

Earlier, Sony Entertainment unveiled Michael Jackson’s supposedly-to-be-released song for his concert with the same title “This is it” on www.michaeljackson.com. This brand new song from Michael Jackson was released after 4 months of his death (June 25).

I just finished listening to it and here’s the stream of MJ’s new song. Also, there’s a few seconds of “sponsor message” before the music plays.

October 1, 2009 · Filed Under Miscellaneous · 1 Comment 

Last Saturday was unexpected. Ondoy flooded our house and with that flood includes my supply (for 2 months) of wood shavings and food for this cute critters getting wet. With that, since we need money to recover from the flood and money for getting new wood shavings and food for the animals here in our house, I’m selling two (2) male hedgehogs for a low price.

Hedgehogs for sale.

vader in the park2I’m selling each hedgehog for 3,000php each. That’s already discounted and very low compared to the market price of a hedgehog which normally is 6,000php to 12,000php (bioresearch pet store).

The money from this will be bought food supply and wood shavings for the other hedgehogs (including the baby hedgies) and pets we have. Also for recovering the damage Ondoy caused last Saturday.

If you’re interested in buying them, please leave a comment in this post or contact me directly at chinoyray@live.com or 0908.863.60.26.

Thank you in advance.
