AIRTEL NIGERIA UNVEILS NEW BBM DATA PLANS



Airtel Nigeria, one of Nigeria's top service providers has unveiled a new data plan designed specifically for BBM chatting. Since Blackberry released the cross platform application, we at technerd have been anticipating whether our service provider would create a special data bundle that would support the application.

This new data bundle is designed to allow unlimited data usage for only the blackberry Messenger application based on the user's subscription. it allows unrestricted access for family and friends to chat on BBM on either a daily, weekly or monthly basis.  To subscribe to the new BBM Bundles for smartphone users, customers are to dial:

  • *440*22# for the monthly plan that cost N300
  • *440*23# for the weekly plan that cost N200
  • *440*24# for the daily plan that cost N100 


These special bundles would greatly alleviate the cost of data subscription for the teeming number of smartphone users. It also shows that Airtel still has an innovative bone in them. The Service provider which has gone through so many managements has lagged behind in terms of innovations but they have managed to outsmart their competition. In the official press release, the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of Airtel, Deepak Srivastava said “The demand for BlackBerry Messenger on smartphones is unprecedented and as a company that thrives on innovation and customer satisfaction, we had to be swift in providing our customers with added value and further delight their BB service experience with the BBM bundle plans. In addition, the offering will enable our customers to experience the efficacy and robustness of Airtel’s 3.75g service”. This is definitely going to snag them some customers in the near future as many users are adopting the BBM craze by the millions on a daily basis.

TECNO PHANTOM A1: FULL REVIEW

I recently walked into a store at the computer village in Ikeja,Lagos and i saw people huddled around a manufacturers cubicle testing out a new phone, i was amazed to find out it was a Tecno phone that drew such a crowd, not just any Tecno "Kpalasa" phone but a nice looking white device that could be easily mistaken for a samsung galaxy device or even HTC. The Tecno Phantom A1 was released a few weeks ago, it received rave reviews and was being compared to the Samsung Galaxy S3 its critically acclaimed as the best budget Smartphone in the market. I've decided to do this review now as the buzz around the phone has reduced and a review can be done in a cooler atmosphere and without sentiments. OVERVIEW Starting with the packaging, Tecno has really improved with the packaging and presentation of this phone. it comes in a glossy box with all the spec details of the phone printed on the back. Out of the box, it comes with a set of earphones,usb cab...

iOS 7: PICTURES AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Apple announced iOS 7 at WWDC this week. Today we bring you an in depth Review of the OS. Many iPhone and iOS users have been clamouring for a fresh breath of air in the look and feel of iOS. iOS 7 is already bein touted by apple as the biggest break away from the norm since it announced its first generation iPhone back in 2007. Personally I think the comparison is a little far fetched because most of the functions are already available on other platforms like windows phone and Android. I have included snapshots of the iOS 7 key functions. However let's take a look at the goodies....... LOCK SCREEN: the new lock screen takes the personality of your wallpaper. Its not a far departure from what's available on android jellybean. HOME SCREEN This is the new home screen in iOS 7. Apple redesigned all of its icons for this major update, including Mail, Settings, iTunes, Game Center, Photos, Safari and more.
