Kiloslol09:40
Kilosthey all a buncha nuts at times09:40

magespawnsays he who went on an install marathon09:41
Kilosthe fly?09:42
magespawnno you Kilos, you did all those installs all in a row09:42
Kiloshahaha ya but now i know the tricks09:43
Kiloshad to thump them into subconscious09:43
Kilosconscious dont work too good09:43
=== Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za
magespawnreptition is always a good way to memorize something09:44
Kilosdo install with 3g plugged in then remove it before rebooting09:44
Kilosif you leave it in nm dont show mobile broadband after the boot09:45
magespawnnow that is strange, wondeer what happens if the modem is built in like with some laptops?09:45
Kilossomething in the last few scripts it runs before closing down09:46
Kilos?09:46
Kilosits very fast but on closing down it says something about modem-manager disconnect09:47
Trixar_zaHey Kilos - 8ta finally allowed me to switch over to 8ta More :)09:47
Trixar_zaWill see tomorrow if the 'double your airtime for R50 or more' offer still works09:48
Kilos8ta more? Trixar_za 09:48
Kiloswow09:48
Kilosif you put R50 you get R100 worth?09:48
Kilostell me how09:49
Trixar_zaYeah, it's the new prepaid plan. They give you a certain percentage more Airtime each time you recharge. It's supposed to be double for amounts over R50. Atleast that's what I've heard from the advert on the TV.09:49
Trixar_zaWell, you dial *180# and go to tarrif options and then select 8ta more and send 1 when it asks.09:50
Trixar_zaDidn't used to work, but monday it finally worked for me09:50
Kiloswow ty will look at that09:51
Kilosthey cutting some throats hey?09:51
Trixar_zaIt's probably to attract more users09:53
Trixar_zaOnly pain is that you have to switch over manually. It's not part of the default tarrif plan (which is 8ta per second)09:54
Kilosi wonder if theyll let you use the more bit to get data as well09:55
Kilosor only allow it as airtime09:55
Trixar_zaShould be for anything09:56
Trixar_zaI'll find out tomorrow when I recharge :P09:56
Kiloscool ty Trixar_za 10:00
Kilosthey actually quite good. the 2g+1g thats R149, they only deduct R14610:01
Kilosso if the more works R100 will get the 2g+1g and have R50 over10:02
=== Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za
Kiloshi queery meeting monday night hey10:03
=== Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za
queeryhi oom Kilos10:03
Trixar_zaThat may be two different tarrif plans/specials10:04
Trixar_za:P10:04
Trixar_zaNot that I've tried the 2g+1g plan10:05
Trixar_zaspecial*10:05
Kiloshave you got them to activate the sim?10:05
Kilosfor data10:05
Kilosyou dont see the 2g+1g till you do10:06
Kiloswell we can just hope10:07
Trixar_zaActivate it how? It's rica'd and it has the 3G settings enabled.10:07
Trixar_zaI am kind of using a Vodafone 3G modem with it though :P10:07
Kilosthey do it while you are chatting to them10:08
Kilosdial 180 and wait for an operator10:08
Kilosgo through the motions of course10:08
Kilospress 1 for this etc10:08
Trixar_zaAh, of course :P10:08
Kilosbut they answer and get to an agent quicker than the other providers10:09
Trixar_zaSounds pretty good. When I get it, I'll be downloading like crazy :P10:14
Kiloshehe10:15
Trixar_zaMostly supplementing my ScummVM collection. I'm still bummed about losing Full Throttle because of a failing Ubuntu install10:17
Kilosai10:17
Kiloshow did you manage that?10:17
Trixar_zaNo clue. Just started going. Devices wouldn't work. Couldn't burn CDs and no flash drive would work.10:18
Trixar_zaSo it kind of screwed my back up plans10:19
Kilosoh my10:19
Trixar_zaDidn't have a LiveCD at the time either :P10:19
Kilosinstall prepaid-manager-applet10:19
Kilosyou can see airtime and topup from there10:19
Trixar_zaActually I just use the 8ta website10:20
Trixar_zaIt's pretty sweet10:20
Kilosi dunno how to see data balance without putting sim in fone yet10:20
Trixar_zaYou can recharge and see your data there too10:20
Trixar_zaAnd balances10:20
Kiloslink?10:20
Trixar_zaLet me get it quick :P10:20
Kiloshope there no moving pics10:21
Kilosthey eat data10:21
Trixar_zahttp://onnet.8ta.com/10:23
Trixar_zaI don't think you pay for data used with the 8ta sites10:23
Trixar_za:P10:23
Trixar_zaSince you can access them with no data and airtime10:23
Trixar_zaBtw, your MSISDN is your cellphone number10:24
Kilosah 10:24
* Squirm pokes Trixar_za 10:24
Kilosty10:24
Trixar_zaHey Squirm :P10:26
Squirmhow goes Trixar_za ?10:29
Kilosthat site doesnt show my bundle balance10:33
KilosTrixar_za, maybe the number to setup data is 18310:34
Kilosi forget all these numbers10:35
Kilosread the pamphlet that came with sim everytime10:35

charlvngood afternoon\13:51
charlvnwow, busy today13:51
charlvnhow's it going?13:51
Kilosok ty and you charlvn 13:53
=== Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za
Trixar_zaKilos: Well that's a slight rip-off. Just recharged with R50.14:26
Trixar_zaThey give you R50 free airtime, but it's not part of your official balance. So you can't use it for data bundles.14:26
Trixar_zaFurther more, it expires after 7 days :/14:26
Trixar_zaOh well, deals that are too good to be true normally are14:27
Kiloslol14:27
magespawnso you can only use it to make calls and expiry so typical of cell companies14:27
magespawni am out of here for now later guys14:28
Trixar_zamagespawn: Pretty much. Probably extends to sms and mms too. Not sure if it only starts working after all the account airtime is depleted or if it works instead of account airtime14:28
Trixar_zaLater magespawn14:28
Trixar_zaOn the upside, I found a way to recharge my Cell's batteries without needing to buy a cheapo charger (and it works with USB)14:30
Trixar_zahttp://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html14:47
Trixar_zaNever gets old14:47
Kiloseish Trixar_za  they all skelm14:48
Kilosi once got a mtn once off R50, they advertised download as much as you like in one day14:49
Kilosthey didnt say its throttled after first 200 meg14:49
Kiloshaha Trixar_za try transfering some of it to another fone14:50
Kilosmetoyou thingie\14:51
Kilosmight break the expiry loop and whether you can get data with it14:51
Kilosyou lucky my nokia 2730 has its own plug , doesnt charge with usb14:52
Trixar_zaNah, I think that's why they keep it separate from your airtime. So you can't pull that trick :P14:53
charlvnKilos: i'm doing well thanks14:54
Kiloshehe14:55
Kilosty for letting me know14:55
charlvnno you asked me earlier but i didn't respond sorry :)14:55
