The Great BT Mobile Broadband RIP OFF

Here's the scenario, I have £13.00 credit in my account, I'm going out in an hour or so, I buy a 1gb bundle, confirm, my account is £3.00 now the bundle is submitted, wait upto 30 mins. Nothing, no bundle, no text, nothing. So I topup £20.00 buy another bundle and instantly it appears in my account. So a 1gb bundle actually cost £30.00. This is the third time this has happened over the few years I've had bt bb, altho previously I blamed myself thinking I had done something wrong, not confirmed or something, this time I waited to see nothing happen. Thanks BT

And again today £23.00 credit, buy a 1gb bundle and nothing, buy another 1gb bundle and instantly it appears, now £3.00 credit. I'm surprised you're closing this 'service' BT, seems a real money spinner to me!

Do I finally have the proof we are being ripped off on DATA?

I believe some jetpacks are targeted some are not. It may be random or it may be based on your data usage. If you use a lot of data (Let's say 10 Gigs per month) it is easier to sneak in a Gig or two. Here is my situation. I had two Jetpacks. My MIL lives on our property in a separate house. She uses internet very sparingly, mostly for e-mail. I added a jetpack for her use. For a year she averaged about 2 or 3 hundred MEGABYTES per month. In August I decided to upgrade my phone to a Samsung Smartphone. I was able to use the Smartphone for my own Hot Spot. So, I turned off my MIL jetpack that was no longer under Contract and gave her my Jetpack that is still under Contract.
Keep in mind I use about 10 to 12 Gigs a month on the internet, my MIL never used more than a couple hundred Mebabytes per month. So guess what happened?
My MIL suddenly went from using 2-300 Megs a month to using 2.4 GIGS a month.
I can only conclude my Jetpack has been either hacked or Verizon pads the usage to get me to go over and add another 2 gigs. I checked the daily usage for the month and there was a sudden 1.6 GIG data usage in a 24 hour period. It occurred on the 22nd of September. I know my MIL did not use the Data. This usage was tied to the Jetpack that I have been using for the last year and consistently had unusual data usages. Of course Verizon denies this. It is always my fault. Now I guess it is my MIL's fault. I am seeing Data usage when the jetpack is turned off. She checks her e-mail about three times a week.
I can understand there might be a delay in the data use report but when the Jetpack is turned off for three days and still shows data usage during that period I think it is a lot more than a "delay" Someone is using our data and Verizon is charging us for data we are not using. Verizon can deny it all they want but I believe my experience is proof.
I have talked to Verizon and they are sending me another Jetpack to use in hopes it is the jetpack that is at fault. It will get a new SIMM card.
I don't think it is the Jetpack at fault. But we will see. Personally I believe Verizon is capable of sending me a new one then stopping padding my usage so it appears it was a faulty Jetpack. Either that or the new one will have a different "address" and who ever is hacking it won't have access until it gets hacked again.
In either case there is a real problem with this entire DATA system.
BTW. When I upgraded to a Smartphone I bought the phone rather than go on a contract plan because I wanted to be able to switch to AT&T if this continued when my Jetpack contract was up. The Verizon 4G coverage is very spotty where I live but AT&T is better. I explained this to the salesperson. The salesperson agreed with me, said he understood. What the salesperson failed to mention is the $600.00 smartphone he sold me would not work on anything but VERIZON so I would still be stuck with Verizon unless I wanted to spend another $600.00 for a phone to switch to AT&T. I think this shows the mindset of Verizon and its employees.
So you might ask, why do I stay with Verizon? Simple, right now it is the only game in town where I live until my Jetpack Contract is up and I decide to take the $600 loss on the Phone and switch to AT&T. Had I known the phone would not work on AT&T I might have made the switch when I upgraded to the Smartphone and just kept the Jetpack account until that contract was up.

When it comes to the issue ofbthe smart phone all you need to do is unlock it to accept the new simm card. Congress has made it legal and now requires company to provide either an app for unlocking the phone or, an unlocking service. Simply download and run the app or take it into your service providers store and it can be unlocked. Hope this is of some help.

Is the Verizon Recycle Program a Rip-off? It may be.

Bigpond Mobile Broadband vs Telstra Go Mobile Broadband

I am currently on a 15GB Bigpond Moble Broadband Plan, and whilst checking out options to reduce my monthly costs noticed the Telstra Go Mobile Broadband Plan. As far as I can tell the only difference is that the Go Mobile Plan allows you to add an extra 1GB for $10 if needed, but the Bigpond plan just slows your service.I live in an area where the only service I can get (apart from satellite which I don't have) is wireless broadband.The big thing is that I am studying externally at both Uni and TAFE, so my download needs vary. I am thinking at this stage that switching to the Telstra Go Mobile would be a better option, but then again I have also heard that you are better off staying with Bigpond Mobile Broadband.Any advice or information people have on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The only thing I can suggest is that you look at your average monthly data use and go from there.. Both services utilise the Telstra network so there shouldn't be any speed drop.

Huawei E173 mobile broadband modem install - lost access to Internet

A few days ago I purchased the Huawei E173 mobile broadband USB modem ("Internet Stick") with SIMcard from Tchibo; they use the 3G+ network (HSPA/UMTS) from O2 in Germany. I installed the modem with its "Mobile Partner" GUI in WinXP/SP3 on my Asus EeePC 1001R netbook and in WinXP/SP3 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop and also installed the modem in Arch on the Dell laptop.
For the Arch install I followed the section "Easy Install using Network Manager" in the Archwiki "Huawei E220"; that was all that was needed, using NetworkManager, modemmanager and the Gnome network-manager-applet (nm-applet).
All went well: I successively and successfully used the modem and got on the net in WinXP on the netbook, then on WinXP on the laptop and finally in Arch on the laptop. Then I tried to use it again in WinXP on the Asus netbook: no access to the Internet. Tried it again in Arch: no access. Tried it again in WinXP on the Dell: no access.
The symptoms were the same in all three cases: when the stick was inserted, the OS recognized it, it asked for and accepted the SIMcard PIN#, established a link with the ISP access point - with excellent signal strength -, I was given an IP address in the 10.xx.xx.xx range, and according to the stick's LED, the connection alternated between being on an UMTS and HSPA net. But no Internet access, neither in Firefox nor Chromium nor Opera, with and without firewalls or system proxies! I was able to ping my own IP address but not the IP addresses of the standard gateway, DHCP server, and DNS servers, and some of these addresses were peculiar (I can provide more info on that). And no luck pinging Google or Amazon, either with their hostnames or IP addresses.
A support call to Tchibo confirmed that there was no O2 net service outage in my area, that signal coverage ought to be excellent in my area, incl. for an HSPA connection, that my new account was active and in good order, there was no block on it and there was plenty of high-speed data capacity left in it.
So I exchanged the stick. So far I've installed the new stick/SIMcard only in WinXP on the Asus netbook, with new cellphone # and PIN. And everything is fine again; I'm back on the internet.
I don't want to be confined to browsing in Windows; Arch is where I do all my work and that's where I want to access the Internet as well. But for nothing in the world do I want to go again through the ordeal of being completely locked out of the Internet and trying to troubleshoot this problem without access to it. But I'm leery of using the new stick in Arch again and again experiencing the same lockout; I need to know what the cause of this problem was.
I see several possibilities:
1. Hardware failure of the first Huawei stick.
2. Some network config setting might have gotten corrupted in going through two Windows and then the Linux install.
3. Some account or network settings on the ISP side might have gotten corrupted.
Re 1: Seems highly unlikely to me; the stick I returned worked flawlessly for 24 hrs. and is probably still perfectly all right.
Re 2: Are such config settings stored on the SIM chip or elsewhere in the data storage section of the stick, so that they an incompatible setting might be carried over from one OS or install to another?
Re 3: Tchibo already seem to have gotten confused over the uses of the stick in my two Windows installs. When I installed it in WinXP on the Dell (after having installed it in WinXP on the Asus netbook), the data volume counter was reset, and they again started counting KB's from zero in the Dell WinXP install, but kept track of usage from the Asus install separately, in spite of the fact that there was only one account with them, and account identifiers such as cellphone # and SIMcard PIN# were identical in the two cases. Further, they don't officially support Linux; perhaps their software got totally confused by the usage coming from NetManager in Linux. But one would think that this stick would be completely portable from machine to machine and from OS to OS, just like a USB WLAN adapter.
Any thoughts about the cause of these problems, whether they might reoccur if I use the new stick in Arch, and how I can get around them?

Thanks for the tip. I'm very leery though of trying to use the new stick in Linux until I know exactly what caused the problem before because with the first stick it was after I'd used it in Linux (just once) that I lost internet connectivity in all three systems. If that happens again, I'd be in the same hole as before: trying to troubleshoot a potentially complicated networking problem without access to the Internet. Short of an expensive call to customer support of doubtful outcome that could cost me the price of the stick (not toll-free; costs 0.42 EUR/min), the only way out then may be to return the stick again and again set up a new account. I doubt, they will go along with that.
Setting up the stick in Arch was actually the easiest thing. After I'd installed networkmanager, modemmanager, nm-applet and some other bits (such as mobile-broadband-provider-info), it was all plug-and-play, and with these bits of software Arch automatically set up a mobile broadband connection to the ISP's server and I had an excellent Internet connection. Only after I went back into WinXP, did I lose all Internet connectivity in all three systems, even though I still got a good link to the AP (persistent misconfiguration of GW, route, subnet mask, etc?).

T 430 MOBILE BROADBAND

I bought Lenovo ThinkPad T 430, but the mobile broadband can't start. I had inserted the sim card and downloaded the Ericsson H5321gw/C5621gw Mobile Broadband Driver which I have installed but I cant find Mobile broadband manager compatible with windows 8

Hi Swathu,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Are you sure that your model has been shipped with WWAN card from the factory?
If you have a WWAN card installed in your system, Lenovo Mobile Broadband Activation will guide you through the activation of mobile broadband. Also, install Think Vantage Access connections to handle various wireless profiles.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Double debit €1.98 - Ripped off

I have just created an account so that I could purchase an app for a friend (9.99). I then receive three e-mails form my CC company informing me that the following amounts were debited :
1.98 - ITUNES.COM/BILL ITUNES.COM LUX
1.98 - ITUNES.COM/BILL ITUNES.COM LUX
9.99 - ITUNES.COM/BILL ITUNES.COM LUX
These are debits, not tests. I am not surprised apple have more money than god, if every time someone purchases something they charge nearly 4 euros for the privilege.
This is the first time I have tried the i-tunes store. It will also be the last.
What a rip-off.

I suspect you will find the first two items will end up either with a matching refund, or else will evaporate from your credit card history as if they had never happened.

REF:- RIPPED OFF

i have read the commets that people feel ripped off because the g5 intel was brought out 4 weeks after the g5 isight,well i did feel fine untill i have now discovered that you can load windows xp onto the new g5 and run it,not the usual crap virtual pc,so now i feel ripped off to,my daughter who is a uni,has to go to her friends to work on windows,i have tried contacting apple direct by email but there does not seem to be a addy for them,i also have a g4 imac 17" with a motherboard failure which will cost 400.00gbp to repair,well to sum up i have spent 2300.00gbp in 3 years on the best computers(and there are bloody good) but feel a little upset that my dauughter still has to travel 10 miles to use a windows system,surely apple should offer some sort of buy back for people who wish to upgrade to intel,to me its only fair,after all we work **** hard to earn our money and pay a lot to buy the best

Sorry.
A) There is no "G5 Intel"
B) There is no email address in the world that will get Windows to run natively on a PPC based Mac.
Contact them by phone. It will get you the same response as an email - nothing - but you will get it faster.
I will say it again, if she requires Windows, then you made a mistake by buying a Mac.
I love Macs. You love Macs. Heck, you did a good job raising yor daughter since she loves Macs, but they are not for everyone in every application. If you must boot into Windows - and that is rather clumsy way of handling things - then sell this G5 and buy an Intel-based Mac.

The Great Infinity Rip Off

Got fed up with BT throttling P2P of an evening so thought I would bite the bullet and go to super fast. Called upgrade number and was refferd options team. They assured me BT do not traffic shape... yeh sure. Mentioned the Glasnost test and he'd never heard of it!! Anyway sorted me a slightly better price so decided to go ahead with it until........... come Jan 14, 141 and caller display are to be charged for @ £1.45 pm EACH. Stopped the upgrade and requested MAC.
No thanks BT.
Going to SKY, who throttle traffic.... according to cust options guy, not by my tests at a m8's house last night when BT gave me 4k p2p traffic and sky was @ 2.2mbp. Every night @ 4pm down goes the speed and at midnight, starts to go back up. Very strange if no shaping is going on!!
Wanted to stay but saving £14 pmth, first 6 month saving £24 pmth and £80 cash back from Quidco...... no brainer.
I don't watch "FREE" Football so I am not going to pay for it with hyped prices for 141 and callerID.

Can anyone tell me why i cant get Netflix, and why the price to rent a movie is actually £4.50 when it states £2.99 - £3.99 on the Apple web site? Also unless you have a massive broadband it takes forever to buffer a movie to down load.
Netflix is only available in US and Canada. Netflix is not mentioned on the UK pages for appletv.
the prices state "start from £3.49 (HD) and £2.49 (SD)", key words being "start from".
the speed of your broadband is not apple's fault.

Mobile Broadband with Gobi 2000 outside the US

Hi all,
Just got my X201 with a Gobi 2000 card inside. Since I live outside the US I was never really sure how it would work outside the AT&T and Verizon networks. Even after I received the Thinkpad it was not very easy to find information about how to set it up, so I thought I would post it here - I am sure someone is looking for it...
This is what I got: X201, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
First of all you are wondering where to put the SIM card. Take the Thinkpad battery out, and you will find the slot of the SIM. The cut off corner on the SIM should stick into the slot.
Next, you can use the Lenovo "Access Connections" software to make the connectivity, also outside the US. This is the same software as you use to to manage your Wifi - the one that shows Wifi signal strength in the Windows task bar.
(Note it should also be possible to use the Microsoft Dialup software, the the APN needs to be entered directly into the modem using "+cgdcont=1" - google that if you want to try.)
Back to Access Connections.
For someone new to Thinkpad, you may start with the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox. That is the blue button on the keyboard, and the blue toolbox icon in the task bar. After you have done all your Lenovo and Microsoft updates here, you will notice an exclamation mark under "Security & Networking", "3G Mobile Broadband". It will essentially tell you: "A Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) card is installed in your system. Please run Lenovo Broadband Connect to activate your card."
This is somewhat confusing, particularly in the GSM world. What is it will do is not activating your Gobi 2000 card, but activate a subscription with a carrier in the US. Either an AT&T subscription, with an AT&T SIM and GSM/HSDPA, or a Verizon subscription with EVDO (which does not use a SIM). If you have put your European SIM in the Thinkpad this will lead you nowhere.
Just click "Ignore Issues" to get rid of the exclamation card.
Go back to Access Connections - just click on the Wifi signal in the task bar.
For the record, I am running version 5.61 of Access Connections. There is also 5.62 available for download, but it only seems to be adding Sprint settings, which we do not need outside the US.
Now, in Access Connections click on the "Location Profiles" tab, and up to the right do "Switch to: Advanced".
Now "Create...", so you can enter settings for your mobile network.
Give it a name, and as type of network choose Mobile Broadband.
Choose the Gobi 2000 hardware, and click next.
Next screen you will change the technology used from EVDO to HSDPA/GPRS, and finally get some life in the hardware.
Under Select WAN Settings you may choose to go Automatic, or Custom. I believe the Automatic covers about 30 non US networks, mainly European, but if your network is not covered, go Custom, and click Edit Settings.
Now you an choose settings from one of the 30 or so networks in the drop-down list, or just enter them by hand.
For the record, you just need the APN, the Username and the Password. There are the same settings you typically enter into your phone for GPRS connectivity, and they are probably available on your providers website. You will probably want to change your Authentication Option from PAP to NONE, depending on what your provider's instruction says.
For the record, for MTN Cyprus these are "internet", "wap" and "wap".
Click Next, and although the next page looks messy there is not really anything to change - just click Finish.
OK, we are done. Now you can test your connection, either by choosing that as a Location and clicking Connect, or by using the Mobile Broadband radio button and the Connect button.
You should now be able to use Access Connections as a single point to switch between Wifi and HSPA, and have no annoying exclamation marks from the Lenovo ThinkVantage - also outside the US.

Perhaps that is all you needed, but there are definitely 3G ISPs in the world that will need somewhat more than that.
There are also 3G ISPs that check the IMEI of devices and will only connect devices thay have sold.
3G services globally are only semi-standadised, at best, in terms of what is needed to establish a connection and it it is quite important to pay close attention to all the information provided by the particular ISP that a connection is attempting to be established with.

I am just starting out trying to install ARCH with ONLY an e156 USB 3G modem.... Sorry I can't suggest anything. And, I am asking if you could help me by posting you code for ppp.
I wish to connect with JUST ppp/pppd as it is all I will have in a base install. Not with wvdial. just ppp
can you let me know exactly what you did with the e156 to get running on ARCH with ppp?

The data usage alerts seem to be a rip off!

So, on the 13th I got text messages saying that we used up all data in our plan and that we either sign up for an increased allowance for $10 / month or pay $15 for an additional GB for that period. I almost was tempted to sign up, but then didn't.
Well, we got the bill and turns out we were actually still UNDER our allowance by several hundred MB by the 16th, so on the 13th it would have been even lower.
I think it's a rip off if you send people a note that they used up all their data telling them to reply now to increase their allowance if in reality they're still well below.

I use this app. It does measure all data in and out, and because of that you will see its totals higher than the phone or Verizons data widget count since MMS is data, but doesnt count towards data allotment. It keeps me on track. It has plan and alarm settings to cut off your data when you reach certain thresholds versus Verizon just sending out a text alert, but not disabling data.My Data Manager - Data Usage - Android Apps on Google Play
I typically set 3 alarms: 1 for a daily (Data amount divided by 31 days)
1 for 50% and
1 for 85-90%.
You can always re-enable mobile data if it cuts you off and it will continue to monitor your usage.

How to get the ESN of a Mobile Broadband using the mbnapi?

Please let me know if there is a better forum to ask my question.
I have created a VS 2010 C++ program to communicate in LAN, WWAN or WI-FI. The program runs under windows 7. In the previous release of this program, we were using QCWWAN2K.dll to communicate in WWAN but now the customer requested to use
the Mobile Broadband API of windows 7 (mbnapi.h). Everything is working fine except the fact that I can't get the ESN number of the mobile broadband adapter. The function I am using is IMbnInterface::GetInterfaceCapability. This function should return the
IMEI for GSM devices and ESN/MEID for CDMA devices. In my case, it's a CDMA device but it always return the MEID. I really need to get the ESN.
Is anyone know how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage issue of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
I suggest you should consult your issues on
Windows Hardware WDK and Driver Developmentforum like this thread:

for better solutions.
