may nabili aq smart bro stick pos may password pama..d n nagtext ung nagbenta..pano kaya ireset to
My SMARTBRO stick can’t connect to its network….why?
bakit ung power plug it mahina d2 sa laguna area..sayang nmn bili ko di ko nmn magamit eh ..1245 pa nmn cya eh
Last December 30th, I bought the Starter Plug-It for 995. I was happy because it says I have 120 INTERNET hours for FREE. But last night, January 4th, I couldn’t connect to the Internet. I re-loaded it and voila, it’s back on! I guess 120 INTERNET hours starts from the time you first used your plug-it, and runs continuously even when you disconnected it. Does anyone have a similar experience?
