Quick Connection Tip for Globe Pre-paid Visibility Users

I just learned a new trick today. If you are using Globe's prepaid visibility modem - you know, the one with the white Huawei modem, you can force lock your WCDMA/HSDPA connection (if you are lucky to get one at all) by setting it up in the Mobile Partner.

Go to Tools > Options > then select Network. For Network Type select WCDMA only. This will prevent the program from automatically sliding down to using GSM signals in the even it detects them. But keep in mind when you select this option, the modem will not indicate it has detected GSM signals and will instead reflect a no signal status. That means you won't be able to connect at all. Actually since the top speed is about 50kbps, it is doubtful if you would want to connect in that situation as you would probably end up paying P5.00 for every pageload.
