Does anyone kno if there's any good pto that doesnt charge for monthly access?

There's no monthly access on my Starcomms line. Its pure prepaid.

@all: I started learning PHP scripting last year and made enough progress to re-design my site in PHP then. Now, I have moved on to PHP/MySQL databases, and I successfully created my first database today. I created a database-driven poll for our Mobile Data Survey which ran versions 1.0 & 2.0 last year. Version 2.1 is ready now, so and cast your vote at http://www.domainstandard.net/mobility/user.php (Web or WAP, it makes no difference).

@Aya: your starcomms line may be prepaid, but they remove N50 daily as access charge which translates to N1500 monthly. I'm not too sure, but I think MTS and Reltel offer free access. The intercellular i-Talkmore also offers free access.

Where is Angelgirl? its been almost a month since ur last post.

@amby: sorry to blow your bubble on this, but there's no access charge whatsoever on my line. The Starcomms guys call it "private plan". Anyone interested in no-access-charge should ask for that when purchasing.

@mikky: Nope. I simply bought the phone/line. I load my airtime and talk on. Just walk into any Starcomms shop, or pick one from the numerous sales people on the street.

@Aya: there's a question I've been meaning to ask you. Do cdma phones (like ur starcomms mobile) have built-in browsers as their gsm compatriots do? If yes can u use the internet service provided by the PTO's for wap on the phone?

@amby: Yes; CDMA phones have built-in browsers, but in most cases they have not been activated and so subscribers have not been able to use them.

However, the built-in browser is functional on Reltel's Pocket PC-phone. Starcomms has also announced that its new broadband platform to be launched next week (delivering speeds up to 400kbps) will allow Pocket PC-phones (I don't know about regular phones, but they will be stupid not to include those) to use the built-in browser.

Hmmm 400kbps? That'll be worth acquiring a line for. Only hope it'll be affordable.

@aya: How fast is starcomms now. I used it once with a phone connection and was getting almost 2mbps. Compared to 21st century's 46kpbs. I want to get their pcmcia card which I hear is faster. What do you think. What's up with this broadband jist
