Presenting; The Remember Card Feature for Verve Cards! – Coming Soon!!!

 

Here at Quickteller, we are constantly trying to figure out ways to make the on-line payment experience a bit more convenient, while at the same time maintaining the security and safety of transactions. One time-consuming feature repeatedly came to mind: why do users have to repeatedly enter their full card details each and every time they have to carry out transactions?

So we gave it some more thought….hmmm…. OK.

Registered users have Quickteller accounts, why don’t we find a way to tie in their card details to their accounts and save some time?

Quickteller in conjunction with Verve presents the Remember Card feature for your Verve Cards!!!

Features:

• Faster and more convenient
• Only CVV2 and PIN are required
• Safe and secure as it uses Quickteller login & Safetoken
• Ties all your ATM cards to your unique phone number* you used to register for Safetoken**
• Available on Quickteller.com, m.Quickteller.com
• Will be available on select partner sites shortly

*Your unique phone number must have been verified by the system
**Safetoken OTP required

If you want to enjoy Remember Card when carrying out transactions, just register your Verve Card for Safetoken at the ATM using your unique phone number and then verify your phone number on Quickteller.com. If you have not verified your phone number on the system, you will be prompted to do so while carrying out a transaction on Quickteller.

How it Works:

1. Enable your Verve card for SafeToken
2. Login with your Quickteller details (i.e. username and password). If you do not have one, create one at Quickteller.com
3. Verify the phone number used for Safetoken (please note that you can register all of your cards for Safetoken using the same unique phone number)

Please note:

If you have not verified your phone number on the system, you will be prompted to do so while carrying out a transaction on Quickteller.

A Safetoken One-Time Password (OTP) is required to complete transactions over your bank’s set limit. If you have not registered your card for Safetoken, you will receive instructions on how to register for Safetoken at the ATM, via text or email.

How to use a BlackBerry Plan on any other devices

Assorted Smartphones

BlackBerry plans are relatively cheaper than other straight data plans mostly because of the way the service is designed. Often times, I get asked if it is possible to use the a BlackBerry service plan on other phones. The answer to that is yes and no…in the sense that it is possible in some instances and won’t work in others. Again, it depends on the way the service is configured by the network in question.

Right now, here in Nigeria, it is possible on two networks, so I will share how you can on both, however, you should note that the data access via this means may be as a result of oversight, if that is the case, it could be shutdown anytime.

Airtel:

• Activate a BlackBerry plan on an Airtel Nigeria sim by texting BSM to 440 or Dial *440*4# costs N1,200. Or by texting BCM to 440 at the cost of N1,400.
• If your Phone does not have the Airtel APN set, set it up as follows APN: internet.ng.airtel.com  Username: internet Password: internet
• And that’s it. Your device will access the internet using the BlackBerry plan’s data. You should note that the Airtel plan has a 1Gb cap.
• If you exhaust the data and want to purchase another, you will have to first deactivate the current one by texting DEACTIVATE to 440.

Airtel 1+1 Offer:

To be eligible for this offer you must have  subscribed to one of the above blackberry plans at least once. After the expiry (30 days) of the bundle you do the following:

• Recharge the same Airtel SIM with a minimum of N1,500
• Dial *440*161#
• Voila!!! Your data account will be credited with 4,192MB (4.1GB) of data, valid for a hooping 60 days, (great, is it not?)
• You can now insert the SIM into the modem or any device you use for browsing
• ENJOY

Globacom:

• Activate BlackBerry Social Plan on the Glo by texting SoWeek (costs N400 and has a 700mb cap valid for a week) or SoMonth (costs N1,200 and has a 3Gb cap valid for a month) to 777.
• Change the network profile settings on your non-BlackBerry device to the following: APN: blackberry.net; Access number: *99#; leave username and password blank.
• And that’s it. Your device will access the internet using the BlackBerry plan’s data. The plan is automatically deativated when the data is exhausted, so you can straightaway activate a new one.

Update: Seems the Glo plan doesn’t work any longer, MTN though now works as described below:

MTN

• Activate BBC or BIS on the MTN by texting BBC or BIS to 21600 (costs N1000 (BBC) or 1500 (BIS) respectively and has a 2.5Gb cap valid for a month).
• Change the network profile settings on your non-BlackBerry device to the following: APN: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net; username and password are both web.
• And that’s it. Your device will access the internet using the BlackBerry plan’s data.

Most phones require you to restart before changes to the APN are effected so if it does not work as soon as you alter the APN, restart the phone.

You should also note that I haven’t personally tried any of these so I may not be able to comment on what the experience is like. I have seen them work though, so it legit works.

Android 5.0 “Key Lime Pie” UI Concepts Hitting the Web, Give Us Very High Hopes

As we approach the rumored date for Android 4.3′s launch on June 20 (at least, that’s what our sources say), many have already come to the realization that we should not expect Google to introduce a new interface for the OS. It will still be called Jelly Bean and nothing too crazy will happen. What most in the business have their money on is that we can expect to see Google change up Android’s look in the iteration after next, being Android 5.0 “Key Lime Pie.” That’s when we will see some new colors, icons, wallpapers, etc. take place. 

Graphic designers appear to be already creating their very own concepts for what they would like to see in Android 5.0, playing more with lockscreen widgets and revising the Android homescreen look. Artist Jinesh Shah took to his Google+ page recently to post up a few pictures of his own ideas, some of which we have become big fans of. While it comes off as minimal and clean, there is enough information on any given homescreen and the lockscreen to give off the sense that this concept would be highly functional and practical for users.

The lockscreen widget shows a comprehensive look at this user’s upcoming meeting, even showing a map preview of its location. Below that, we can see upcoming flight details, all of which would be able to be customized under new settings that would come with KLP. As for the homescreen changes, what sets this concept apart from others is the idea of “hidden” widgets. With swipes and other gestures, you could reveal other widgets that don’t necessarily have to be on your homescreen when not being used. It’s a fantastic concept, one that we probably wouldn’t mind seeing implemented.

Share your thoughts on the Android 5.0 concept below!
