I know about at least one person who imported a i-mode phone into the country and had problems getting it to work with GloDirect.

Is there no organisation in Nigeria that checks phones for compatibility with local networks before they're imported? In SA the three networks do their own testing, so does the telecoms regulator.

In this case I believe the person travelled abroad and simply brought the phone into the country. There's no body that tests phones as far as I know. Can you send me a link of the website of the organization that tests imported phones in your country?

Lord knows how many times I have come across newspaper ads touting the features of a phone - and i-mode is listed as one of them! As if it would do anybody any good here. No networks outside of Japan and a very few European nations support i-mode, to the best of my understanding.
Testing? Nope. NCC does some sort of screening and has a list of approved handsets. Unfortunately, the list is very dated. The newest phone on the list is the Nokia 6600! That was released in what year?! According to NCC, my 9500 does not qualify. Story!!
@seun: I accepted MN's death long b4 you announced it. I knew it was going to happen. The "why" of the killing was - and still is - what is hard for me to accept. But I guess it does not really matter; or does it?
Anyway, good work on how you have made Nairaland interoperable. Very impressive.

We have a week till April is gone and still no news of GPRS from both Mtel and Vmobile. No news about ANYTHING from MTN. Will a miracle happen in the next few days?

@AYA: MTN might drop a bomb an announce that they've lowered GPRS tariffs:-) Down here it's seems like some people insist that SA subscribers all 20 million of us use branded phones that have limited functionality.

I called Mtel customer care like 2 weeks ago and one lady told me to go to their service center at Ikeja that gprs is available and only on postpaid.
