  1. You may have noticed something new in posts, since we upgraded to v4 of the IPB software. That new addition, is Acronym Expansion. You will notice a dotted line under acronyms / initials, like IPS, for example, the creators of the IPB software. If you mouse over these various groups of letters, a popup window will show you the expanded meaning of those initials, in case you may not be familiar with them. I will try to add more of these, as they come to mind, or as I see them in various posts on the site. If you have any you would like to see added, just let me know. Here are a few I have added, which some of you may find useful: EOS, FWCMS, COLA, DOB, NGO, FUBAR, PPPPPPP, SFA, FFS, YMMV, etc. For some of us who appreciate electronics, computers and such, AC, DC, SPST, SPDT, NiFe, NiCd, AH, FLA, GUI, WiFi, WAN, LAN, SWR, EER, BTU, BTUh, etc. I have also added some cities in Cambodia, PP, SR, BTB, and SHV. Lastly, I have added various currencies and miscellaneous other acronyms. I have 104 acronyms, currently. Always adding more, as time permits.
  2. I just bought a Huawei mobile hotspot/wifi and love it. Just insert the Metfone sim (limited plan with dongle) card and it gives me internet for my computer and tablet. Its smaller than a pack of Cigs.
  3. I have a Smart USB Dongle for sale, including the SIM. If you reload the credit, you will be given an additional 2 Gigabytes of credit each month, for the next two months. Firm Price: $20 USD. I paid $35 for it, including the dongle, the SIM card, and $5.00 USD credit, about three weeks ago. Selling because I am happier with the Metfone Dongle I have been using since the first part of June. Interested parties contact me at: 088-38-24-501
  4. First, let me preface this post with a little information about Metfone. The dongle I have is a black one with white trim. The company also sells one that is white. The software that loads when you connect the white one will be different than the black one that I have. Anyway, onward. When you connect the dongle, the software will be loaded into your computer. The control panel will look like this: Click on "Menu". When the drop down menu opens, click on "USSD". The following window will open. You will have several options in the drop down menu, one of them being able to check the balance of your account: Another option will be to load credit on to the account: Follow the directions, inserting the card number to replace the default zeros in the sequence, and click "Okay" to load the card. After clicking "Okay" to check the balance of the account, a message will show in the upper window, telling you how many dollars and cents you have as your dollar balance. (This is NOT the same as your data balance. I will explain this more, later.) After the message shows in the upper window, you will see a popup on the bottom right side of your screen, as shown below: Afterward, click the "X" to close the request window, and the main view for the control panel will show again, automatically. Click on the "SMS" button - - and the following window will open, showing your new messages in blue. Highlight the most recent message and it will show in the lower side of that window. (If you cannot read it clearly enough, highlight the text and paste it into a word editor, or notepad, as I do.) I have been keeping a record of the credit on my MetFone USB Dongle, and how it has been used. Typically, if you are only browsing web pages and sending / receiving email, you will use very little of the allotted bandwidth each month. It is when you are downloading videos (YouTube, etc.) or when you are downloading torrent files, that you start hitting the bandwidth on the dongle. Do note that, when you first have the SIM card loaded, upon purchasing the SIM, dongle, and initial credit, you will see a message that reads something like the following, after checking your balance: "Name/Number: 1770 Time: 2012-07-17 20:18:10 Content: Hello!You have following free resource: 100 items free items for onnet sms, 307200 KB free data1, 2644614 KB free data2,Thank you." The amount of credit will vary, depending on what you have purchased. The above text was sent well after I had been using my internet. It should be over 4,000,000, if new. Now, how the dongle "uses" or "consumes" the credit you have on the SIM. The first credit it will use is the balance of "Data2". After "Data2" has been depleted, "Data1" will be consumed. After "Data1" has been depleted, the dongle will start consuming the credit from your USD balance. So, if you keep an eye on your balance, every once in awhile anyway, you will have enough time to buy another card to top up (reload) the credit on the dongle. Please note that you can also send and receive text / SMS messages through your Metfone USB Dongle. As you can see on the SMS I received, above, you are allowed 100 free text messages. Simply use it as you would any cell phone, when sending messages to any other domestic cell number.. I hope this has been a helpful tutorial for you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to post them in this thread.

    Microsoft's Super WIFI Super Wi-Fi could change game From Phnom Penh Post Wednesday 20th June 2012 By Stuart Alan Becker technology called “Super Wi-Fi” that uses the frequency spectrum between television channels called “white spaces” could be a game-changing force in how people connect to the internet, especially in places like Cambodia. The technology, which requires specialised equipment costing about US$2,000 for a base station would enable a fibre-optic line to connect with an antenna and create internet connectivity for users to connect wirelessly up to 20 kilometres away.
