Azeez,

You said:

Ask yourselves this questions: why are people not browsing for free on Glo?, why is it common to Zain & Mtn? It is all because of the security system put in place by Glo.

What security system is this? Without sweating it, I can come up with a number of free browsing cheats for Glo. Fortunately for them, I choose not to walk down that path years ago. But I do know for sure that there are hacks for the Glo network in circulation out there – and publicly too.

I doubt if Glo has much of any sort of security set up. In my opinion, the Glo network is just as porous as the others.

My take on the free browsing issue is this: the network operators can try all they can, but people will still look for ways to beat them. Blocking Opera mini wouldnt deter them (hackers) from doing their thing.

I know of many people around me that are still browsing for free on their phones’ native browsers. I hope u all will agree with me that hacking is a phenomenon that is prevalent in all nations. When hacking occurs, it is either the security system set up by the network is not working well or is leaking along the line.

I am not an advocate of hacking & free browsing, but I just believe that the operators are not doing enough to curb it. To catch a thief, you have to behave like one.

Whosoever believe free browsing is not stealing is not sincere even to himself.He should imagine himself invest a fortune to put up a business just for some smart guys to come and take it for a free ride.How would he survive? But MTN should also make a rethink because blocking opera server would not help them in the long-run, as the genuine opera users will take to other networks to satisfy themselves.MTN should not try to compel people to their phone default browsers , opera browsers are designed to make web browsing experience a complete fun, so any attempt to stop people from having access to them will be counter productive cos they are used to it already.So all that MTN should do is to provide maximum security for its servers just like Etisalat did,as using opera application is not a crime in itself but only using it for free.

Yomi,
I’ve tried to download bolt on my phone, but the download’s constantly interrupted. I’ll still go to a cafe later though, thanks.

I’ve tried two other phone browsers like bolt and teashark, The two can’t stand opera mini 4.2 which is an old version.

I’ve also tried the UCweb mention by ebeekay, the screen backgroung is quite intersting but it did not connect to the network.

Yomi, please give us list and links to some other phone browser so we can try it and also post comments.

Why are there no discussion about instant messangers on this website?

Mustapha,

Have you tried Bolt, an alternative mobile browser to Opera Mini?

Well, I was never even aware of Zain’s data service until I saw this page. Thanks for the info. Using Etisalat has been really draining on my pocket, and Mtn is out of the question on my phone as it (a Nokia 5130c) comes preinstalled with opera mini.

I can also understand your rage at the ‘free’ browsing craze that is all the rage in Naija today. But what can I say? Nigerians have the leaders they deserve, so when I hear someone complaining about ‘corrupt leaders’ while tapping on his illegal browser, I only smile ruefully and shake my head.

the free browsing thing is illegal but the steps taken to prevent its exploitation by MTN is likened to killing an ant with a hammer. instead of stopping it all together they can work around it making their homepage secure because the trick exploits SQL injection tricks.

and secondly introduce packages similar to the zain lite package or make data a reward for recharging. This way they stand to gain more than their current method.

MTN and others should realize the revolution of mobile browsing like their contemporaries in europe and north america have and exploit these opportunities.

Kayode,

The compression technology of Opera Mini is not cheating. In a number of ways, Opera Mini helps the networks, for example by reducing the load on network resources. Note that the subscriber still pays for whatever data is transfered when using Opera Mini.

But when applying free browsing cheats (whether via Opera Mini or Your-Freedom, or any other means), a subscriber transfers data without paying for it. That’s stealing.
