Transferring Domains to Different Registrar?


Okay, I had been planning of transferring my domain to another registrar, but I don't have in depth knowledge on how to do it especially with the transfer fees it's attached to. Above is the pricing list provided by one of the few popular domain registrars, Namecheap.com, and I just don't know if my assumptions were correct with regards to it.

I would like to ask each any everyone of you if your really can spare a word, please leave a comment below to help me out on deciding whether it's best to just renew my domain or transfer it.



Anyway, I clicked on the .info transfer pricing as seen above and I was trying to understand whether the said price is fixed up to the tenth year or it's just a sugar-coated price that if I ended up transferring my domain I would end up paying much than if I had just renewed it. So here are my questions to all knowledgeable people out there with regards to this issue, first if I transfer my domain for 10 years will I only pay the said allotted amount of not less than ten dollars? Second will that mean that my domain will be registered as well in ICANN for ten years?

If you can spare some insight about this issue, I really would appreciate it. Read More......

My N series Cellphone Under Nokia Care

After tireless efforts on waiting to have a network signal for my cellphone, I had lost my patience and went directly to the nearest Nokia Customer Care shop to let them fix my buggy phone. Of course, I'm expecting that it wouldn't be fixed that easily at a short span of time without prior notice, and I was right with my assumption. However, what's so shocking to see was that it's not only me that rushed there to have their cellphones be sorted out but a lot of people ranging from different social statuses, and classes. All of us clamored on that little space they had provided, for them to fix our phones. It's more like a local bank where a lot of people waited to be served.

Can you imagine waiting after a 30 customers just for you to inquire your cellphone problem to Nokia experts? Well yes, it's true. When I went there at Nokia Customer Care shop located at SM North EDSA, they are serving already customer number 1114, and when I took my number at their podium dispenser I'm customer 1140, what a discrepancy right? But I think waiting is worth it, since my phone can be fixed already with it's existing problems.

When I already took my turn to be served by the experts from Nokia, they asked for my personal information and the problem that currently persists within my cellphone unit, and I replied with my litany of rants. She diligently listened and explained to me that for them to fix my phone I need to left the phone with their care, which I complied. Hence, I need to wait for 2-3 weeks for my cellphone to be fully functional. Now, I'm cellphone less again. Hay, I wish they call me as soon as it's already fixed.

Another N series Flaw

This was the second problem that I had encountered using the Nokia N series phone. So probably you will know how this post would go - a rant post so bear with it.

Nokia is one of the famous brands available over the market for selling different kinds of cellphone handsets, and since it's popular a lot of people uses this brand even those within the poverty line in this country. What's so special with Nokia? It's user-friendly. You don't need any formal education on how to let the thing function properly. It's easy to use and efficient. Upon opening your handset box you can instantly set it up and text your way to your friends or even call the people you wished to call to brag about your new phone. It's that simple to use. However, if you encounter bugs within the system itself (like me) then it is another story.

You can see that I had stated that this would be the second problem that I had encountered while using Nokia. The first problem can be found here for you to read. But to recapitulate the first problem that I had encountered I can say that I had the difficulty on connecting the said the device to the computer using the USB cable provided, with which up to now wasn't even resolved by either the manufacturer, Nokia, or any other people (i.e. technicians) out there.
Now for the second time, Nokia disappoints me for their buggy handset included in their N series collection. I never thought that I'm going to be a victim again of this still unresolved problem dating back from 2006! All over the world people are making rants about this problem that I had now encountered - losing their signal!

Try to Google "N series no signal" any N series, be it N70, N80, N90, blah, blah, blah, it will bring you result on people complaining about losing their signal, people complaining that they cannot make and receive calls, and people ranting that they can't receive any text messages at all.

What the Nokia personnels in forums suggest again is to go to the nearest Nokia service center so as to diagnose the existing buggy problem within your handset. They won't provide patch update, and so on. They will just suggest that you go to let your phone be diagnose and if problems exists they would replace your phone with the same model. Yet there is no assurance that it's bug free! Other's will suggest that you force GSM to provide you with signal but this is 0% success rate at all, and not of help to those who are seeking answers.

And now I am one of them, ranting over the sudden lost of signal on the phone that I am using. My carrier provider, SMART, does in fact have a strong signal within our household and the place that I currently stays with but why in the world does my handset doesn't have signal. I had tried my SIM on my mother's phone and it does it fact have signal, but when I use my mother's SIM on my phone, BAM!, same results no signal! Now what the hell am I going to do with this phone, it seems like a paper weight to me now, no use at all, since I can't text my friends.

Anyway, I'm going to turn the buggy phone off to let it cool down for the meantime, maybe it might work, maybe not, but I'm going to still research if there is a possible solution over the internet that I had not read, and try it out or I'm just going to head out directly to Nokia wireless center for professional help.
