AVAILABLE & TESTED SOLUTIONS
Comment: Eto yung ginawa ko sa SIM ko ngayon. So far, so good. This theory might prove itself in due time.
Sadly, rjebuna found this not working at all. Yung mga sumubok na nito paki-submit nmn po ng observation nyo. If this turns out to be ineffective, we'll have you updated.
Kung nakatulong, pa-hit ng Thanks.
Note: Observation info only from hereon. Huwag basahin kung ikaw ay nagmamadali.
Halos nabasa ko na lahat ng topics ng mga ka-Symbianize natin dito na VPN+Smart users tungkol sa pangangatay ng SIM ni Smart. Tatlo... Tatlong SIMs na rin ang namatay sakin. OK sana yung idea na i-unlock na lang yung dongle at mag-switch to Globe. Pero wala akong mahagilap na guide kung paano i-unlock yung E1553 ko. (Kung may alam kayo --- )
Di ko ina-angkin na idea ko ang lahat ng nandito. Kung sa tingin mo ay ikaw ang nagpasimula ng isa o lahat ng idea na nandito, o may na-miscredit ako, o may gusto kang i-correct or i-dagdag, tell me, I’ll give you credit and thanks.
May mga bagay-bagay din na malalathala dito na pawang teyorya lamang. Ikaw na ang humusga. 
Ang Ginamit:
VPN: Hotspot Shield OpenVPN (for more details, go to this tutorial by 89dufpoqidjv)
SIM: Smart Buddy Browser SIM (bagong bili, 40 pesos, NEVER... EVER... INQUIRE FOR BALANCE)
Typical Setup
APN: internet
Dashboard Settings
PPP (Point-to-Point) IP – Di ko masyadong na-iintindihan kung ano to. (Pasensya
) Siguro eto yung IP address na in-assign ni Smart sa SIM natin.
Konting kaalaman:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol
Sa pagkakaintindi ko (di kasi akong ma-techie na tao), eto yung connection established between you and Smart. Di ba si Smart yung provider natin? Ede si Smart rin yung nag-provide sa atin ng “connection authentication, transmission encryption , and compression.” So dito pa lang, may link na si Smart sa atin, sa SIM natin. May exchange of information na kasi the moment na connected na yung dashboard mo sa internet. Information = unique SIM number, data, load balance, etc.
Pag na-notice ni Smart na may significant movement sa bandwidth mo... Poof! SIM blocked for UDP access.
VPN connected
Anchorfree HSS IP (VPN)
Observation:
Before ka maka-connect sa VPN, wala kang makikitang IP sa entry na yan. After successful connectivity, yan ang makikita mo. Yan yata yung internal IP (Proxy) na in-assign ng VPN application mo sayo.
Theory:
Eto yung parang cloak sa actual Smart-assigned IP mo. Para bang imbes sa Smart ka makikipag-exchange ng data sa tuwing gagamit ka ng internet, i-re-redirect ka ng VPN app mo sa ibang server, o ISP, o proxy, o ewan ko kung ano nga talaga.
Q&A:
Bakit nalalaman pa rin ni Smart na may bandwidth disturbance? Point-to-Point Protocol. Kahit naka-VPN ka pa, walang ibang madada-anan ang data transfer mo kundi sa SIM mo. Pakatatandaan na sa connection ng Smart SIM mo nakikidaloy si VPN at sa kung anu mang proxy siya nagba-balatkayo.
Alternative Setup 1
APN: SMARTBRO
Dashboard Settings
PPP (Point-to-Point) IP
Observation:
Kung ikokompara mo yung PPP IP sa setup na to sa setup nung sa itaas (APN: internet), MAGKA-IBA yung IP nila. Nung nag-disconnect ako, at nag-reconnect, tingnan ang pagbabago ng IP:
SAME SIM. Another IP.
Theory:
DYNAMIC yung IP na in-a-assign ni Smart sa mga SIM natin.
Q&A:
Kung dynamic yung IP, paano na-bo-block ni Smart yung IP? Yung SIM. Yung SIM mismo ang bi-no-block ni Smart. From dynamic, i-lilista ni Smart ang SIM mo sa STATIC IP list nila, parang blacklist kumbaga, kasama na yung mga kakosa ng SIM mo.
Anchorfree HSS IP (VPN)
First Established Connection
Reconnection
Observation:
Eto ang di ko pa rin ma-intindihan! (or tamad lang ako mag research) I connected to the same client #55 sa Hotspot Shield without disconnecting my dashboard, in comparison sa first connection, iba na yung proxy server. Diba pre-configured na yung IP proxy per client sa VPN? Ewan. Padayon!
Alternative Setup 2
APN: www.globe.com.ph
Dashboard Settings
PPP (Point-to-Point) IP
Observation:
Globe? Sa hindi nakaka-alam... Basta Globe... Possible!
Same SIM, different APN, different IP. Pero kahit siguro yung APN sa first setup ang ginamit, magiging dynamic pa rin talaga ang assigned IP ni Smart sa atin.

The Random Cluster Sampling+Blocking Theory
- Ultrasurf (for more details, go to this tutorial by sil_Ence)
Blocked yung SIM mo for UDP connection (tama ba ako? haha). Ibang connection yata yung dinadaluyan ni Ultrasurf. Kaya pede kang mag Ultrasurf sa blocked SIM mo.
- Buy a New Dongle (Other Network)
Switch to Globe. Alam mo na ang rason kung bakit kelangan.
- Buy a New SIM

(dko alam kung bakit pero alam niyo na ang sagot)Smart Buddy Browser SIM, Retailer SIM, TNT or any other Smart internet-ready SIM (SmartBro Sim -> Di pwede). Do Alternative Setup 1 or 2. Here’s a step-by-step:Quote:Originally Posted by nahugotts disaggree ako sau.. Katay narin yung retailer sim ko pero mejo tumagal ng 1 week b4 na blocked. Naka 6 movie ang na dl ko b4 xa nakatay...

Hindi pa xa na baba block ni smarty. Pero tuloy ang dl ko ng movies. Alaga nga lang mag rekonek hehe. Try nyo rin baka yun ang temporary solution para hindi ma blocked
- Sa System Tray mo, siguraduhing walang program na possibleng mag-o-auto-connect sa internet e.g. instant messengers, updaters, etc. Kung meron, exit/disable it. Kung ayaw pa rin, go to your Task Manager, Processes tab, right-click on the entry, choose End Process;
- Insert new SIM on dongle;
- Open dashboard and wait for the modem to completely recognize the newly inserted SIM;
- Make sure na may installation kana ng working VPN app;
- Follow the Dashboard Settings of Alternative Setup 1 or 2 (Scroll down further to see the setups);
- Connect to Smart via Dashboard. Hinatayin hanggang maging stable yung connection mo;
- Connect with your VPN at your preferable client. AGAIN. Hintayin hanggang maging stable yung connection. WAG NA WAG munang mag open ng browser o ng kahit ano pang program na kumakain ng bandwidth;
- Pag OK na, pwede na!
Additional Tips - Sa System Tray mo, siguraduhing walang program na possibleng mag-o-auto-connect sa internet e.g. instant messengers, updaters, etc. Kung meron, exit/disable it. Kung ayaw pa rin, go to your Task Manager, Processes tab, right-click on the entry, choose End Process;

My own theories are: - Pag ginagamit sa regular surfing ang sim mas may chance na hindi malagay sa blocked list ng smart ang sim. - 5 pesos ang minimum load na matitira sa sim at wag 4 pababa. Maybe effective: 1. Buy a new smartbuddy sim. 2. Loadan ang sim kahit mga 15 pesos. 3. Gamitin sa regular surfing for 15 to 29 minutes (gumamit ng timer). 4. After 29 minutes, wag kayong magbabalance inquiry kagaya ng sinabi ni TS, (syempre alam nyo na na 5 pesos na lang ang naititira sa sim, pero wag nyo gagamitin ang natitira sa pagtetext.) 5. Saka kayo gumamit ng preferred nyo na VPN. Ewan ko kung effective sa inyo yan pero, try nyo na rin, malay nyo. EDIT: Nakalimutan ko pala sabihin na 2 weeks ago ko pa pinaloadan ng 15 pesos ang sim pero until now nko-connect ko pa sya sa VPN. |

Same SIM, different APN, different IP. Pero kahit siguro yung APN sa first setup ang ginamit, magiging dynamic pa rin talaga ang assigned IP ni Smart sa atin. SUMMARY OF THEORIES (Depressing Reality)
- Dynamic ang Internal IP na ina-assign ni Smart sa SIM natin.
- Wala tayong control sa internal IP between Smart and our SIM. I tried using a static IP as suggested by our fellow co-members. Smart rejects it. Hindi ka makaka-connect, sa dashboard pa lang.
- Kayang i-block ni Smart ang SIM natin at di tayo pwedeng mag reklamo dahil may record sila na may bandwidth movement yung SIM mo na hindi DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL sa load mo. (Oo, bawas-bawasan mo na rin yung pag-to-torrent mo)
VPN is NOT stealing = YES;
SMART needs revenue to sustain itself = YES;
VPN affects Smart’s income generation = YES.
- Pag na-block na yung SIM mo, blocked na talaga yan for UDP.
- Google. Sa dami ng empleyado ni Smart, pwede nilang i-research ang LAHAT ng klase ng FBT/UBT para ma-aksyonan. Counter-measures. We'll never know. Baka may mga employees sila mismo na member ng forum community natin dito. He could be me. He could be you. Ayaw ko mag generate ng distrust dito, but it is reality, people.
- Smart+VPN user census says - Prove na lahat ng klase ng Smart internet-ready SIMs EXCEPT SmartBro ay VULNERABLE sa pagkaka-block.
The APN Theory
Quote:
| Konting Kaalaman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Point_Name Access Point Name (APN) is a computer protocol that typically allows a user's computer to access the Internet using the mobile phone network. On a technical level it is a configurable network identifier used by a mobile device when connecting to a GSM carrier. The carrier will then examine this identifier to determine what type of network connection should be created, for example: what IP addresses should be assigned to the wireless device, what security methods should be used, and how/or if, it should be connected to some private customer network.[1] More specifically, the Access Point Name (APN) identifies an IP Packet Data Network (PDN), that a mobile data user wants to communicate with. In addition to identifying a PDN, an APN may also be used to define the type of service, (e.g. connection to wireless application protocol (WAP) server, multimedia messaging service (MMS)), that is provided by the PDN. APN is used in 3GPP data access networks, e.g. general packet radio service (GPRS), evolved packet core (EPC). |
APN: internet
- Assigned and EXPECTED to be used for MOBILE BROWSING with a BROWSING SIM e.g. Smart Buddy, TNT, etc.;
- May bandwidth limit. Mobile browsing data is compressed for faster transfer. Compare that with regular browsing on a computer;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_capQuote:Originally Posted by ProEarthSmart Buddy Sim is solely used for cellphones --- which enables the use of limited or simple applications such as facebook, ym, and browsing only unlike when you use smart buddy sim in your VPN wherein downloading large files are possible. However, this usage --- also enables the Smart telecom to detect and block your sim card since it's obvious that it already exceeds the basic applications (above the limit).
Smart VPN users, pag sabay2x kayong nag to-torrent, stream, online games o kahit anu pang klaseng internet access na malakas ang kain sa bandwidth, mahahalata talaga ni Smart, at posibleng nakaka-experience na siya ng overloading sa servers niya that were designed and intended for light data transfer only e.g. mobile browsing.Quote:A bandwidth cap, also known as a bit cap, limits the transfer of a specified amount of data over a period of time. Internet service providers commonly apply a cap when a channel intended to be shared by many users becomes overloaded, or may be overloaded, by a few users. Implementation of a bandwidth cap is sometimes termed as Fair Access Policy or Usage-based billing.
- May data transfer duration (for the lack of a better term). Ibig sabihin, more or less than a few minutes, or an hour. Sa mobile browsing kasi, ON-and-OFF yung internet traffic. Pag nag load na yung page mo, OFF muna siya. Another page, ON, then OFF afterwards. Now, sa case ng broadband usage, continuous yung flow e.g. torrents, downloads, Facebook (auto-update), instant messengers, e-mails, online games, content streaming, etc. Kung ako si Smart, magdududa talaga ako.
APN: SMARTBRO
- Assigned and EXPECTED to be used for a BROADBAND CONNECTION with a BROADBAND (SmartBro) SIM;
May point si jondgreat. MALALAMAN ni Smart kung anong klaseng SIM ang ginagamit mo.Quote:Originally Posted by jondgreatmeron din ako theory TS-- baka smartbro sim lang ang inaallow nila ng heavy downloads and non smartbro sim will be blocked- which means kahit apn pa ng smartbro ang gamit natin bsta hindi Smartbro sim ay for sure will be blocked.
- Walang bandwidth limit, o kung meron man, MALAKI ang bandwidth limit. Allowed for downloading, content streaming, long, continuous duration of internet connectivity, etc.;
- As far as I know, using a SmartBro SIM doesn't work with VPN, Ultrasurf or any other FBT/UBT out there.
APN: www.globe.com.ph
- I never had a Globe dongle or used a Globe SIM. Gusto kong mag-unlock pero di ko magawa!

Sa dami ng Smart users ngayon (mobile/broadband), Smart won't be able to accommodate all numbers for observation (e.g. bandwidth movement kahit walang load, nakakapagtext kahit zero balance, etc.) So the best way would be RANDOM CLUSTER SAMPLING (Statistics ba to?!  ). Kunyari ako yung Head ng Development-something-ewan Team nila. Sasabihin ko: "Let's put all numbers with the prefix 0919, 0920, 0921... under observation." Poof! Unti-unti nang na-fi-filter yung mga PAID users from the "FREE" users.Kaya nangyari, luckily yung number mo has some format na hindi kasali sa tinamaan ng cluster sampling. I'm not saying na yung number prefix lang. Pede ring "Lahat ng numbers na nagtatapos sa 5!", etc. Maraming posibiladad. |

Kaya iniisip ko rin yung sinabi mo na hindi lahat ng number naaaccommodate ng smart na imonitor, baka nga may mga filtered formats lang at hindi naisama sa filtering ang number ko.
Pero malakas pa rin ang kutob ko na nung nagfilter sila ng mga numbers eh nagkataon na nagiinternet ako using regular load kaya di na isinama yung sa akin.

guys...lahat kayo my point.lhat ng sinabi nyo posibleng mangyari,pero bkit b pinagpipilitan p rin natin gumamit ng smart sim..isa lng ang dahilan kc napakaganda ng signal/data conn. na binabato saten ng smart.2 sim n block saken.
sakt s ulo ang globe n gamit ko at pti n rin cguro ka.sana guys makapag create kayo ng unblock smart sim.pr every katwan masaya..
