Antara IM3, iPhone4 dan Fixed Dial Numbers

im3_fdn_480_IMG_0022

Saya punya sebuah iPhone4 yang praktis sekarang bisa dibilang nganggur sejak saya menggunakan iPhone5. Well, ga sepenuhnya nganggur sih. Sewaktu traveling ke Jepang + USA + Singapore justru iPhone4 ini jadi ponsel utama. Kartu-kartu operator lokal di negara-negara tersebut saya pasang di iPhone4 ini. Phone working fine, yah iOS 6.1.2 sepertinya membuat iPhone4 bekerja sedikit lambat untuk beberapa aplikasi. Yang paling berasa saat maenan instagram. Selebihnya baik-baik saja.

Nah hari ini saya mo masang kartu operator lokal. Jadilah saya malam ini maen ke Giant + Lotte Bintaro mencari SIM card perdana simPATI dan ga ada yang jual. Alasan standar sih “lagi kosong”, but who knows? Akhirnya saya iseng-iseng beli paket perdana IM3 ajah seharga 10ribu di Sentra Ponsel Lotte Bintaro.

Keanehan terjadi saat saya mau mengaktifkan perdana IM3 ini di Sentra Ponsel. Network tidak terdeksi. Setelah ngubek-ngubek setingan iOS, reset setting tetap saja No Services. Karena saya ga mo ngerepotin mbak yang di Sentra Ponsel itu akhirnya saya bayar saja dulu n pindah ke 7-11.

Kejadiannya adalah begitu pasang perdana IM3 yang terjadi pertama kali adalah muncul notifikasi “Fixed Number Dialing Activated”
Apapula ini? Seumur-umur pake iOS ga pernah dapat pesan kaya gini.

Yang lebih aneh lagi pas browsing ke situsnya Indosat disebutkan
“Bagi seluruh pengguna handset, pastikan Fixed Dial Number (FDN) di non-aktifkan saat melakukan aktivasi untuk menghindari kegagalan registrasi prabayar. Jika terjadi kegagalan registrasi, gunakan handset lain.”

Halo? Handset lain saya cuman iPhone5 dan ga ada jaminan saya ga akan ngalamin kejadian yang sama secara sama-sama pake iOS cuman beda versi saja. Kemudian mo aktivasi pake smartphone ajah kok beribet amat sih, harus pake handset lain segala?

Jadilah saya nyari tau apa itu Fixed Dial Number (FDN).
Menyimpulkan dari Wikipedia dan berbagai thread forum yang membahas problem yang sama di berbagai handset,

Fixed Dialing Number (FDN) adalah sebuah layanan yang ditanam di SIM card GSM. Jadi dari operator nih bukan dari pabrikan ponsel. Saat FDN aktif, SIM card tersebut cuman bisa nelpon ke nomor-nomor yang sudah kita daftarin ke FDN. Layanan ini berguna misalnya buat orang tua yang pingin batasin pemakaian ponsel anaknya cuman boleh nelpon/sms ke nomor-nomor tertentu. Tidak semua SIM card mendukung layanan ini. Kalo kita mo make pun kita harus ngisi PIN yang tiap SIM card berbeda dan PIN ini hanya disediakan oleh operator. PIN nya juga beda dengan PIN standar SIM card yang 1234 itu.

Like I said, there’s nothing wrong with the phone. Dipasangi Axis, simPATI, kartuHALO, Ready SIM USA, sampe terakhir Hi-Card Singtel ga ada masalah. As matter of fact, I’m still using the SingTel Hi Card.

Dugaanku sih Indosat ngaktifin fitur ini untuk ngerestrict kartu perdana supaya ga bisa nelpon sebelum aktivasi. Lha masalahe gimana saya bisa aktivasi wong jadinya tuh kartu malah masalah di iPhone4 saya, diapainpun sampe reset all setting tetap saja “No Service”.

Akhirnya saya beli perdana lain buat membuktikan teori di atas. Di 7-11 saya beli perdana XL. Sialnya XL ga punya microSIM, dan sevel ga punya pemotong SIM Card biasa ke Micro SIM 🙁 Moga-moga ada SIM card cutter di rumah, kalo ga kepaksa ke kantor deh besok demi motong SIM card doang 😛

ah, a note from samsung.com

Not all SIM cards have a PIN2 code. If your SIM card does not, this menu option is not displayed. You must obtain your PIN2 code from your service provider

Perfect 🙂

update

Ternyata ada MicroSIM cutter di rumah dan kartu XL nya berfungsi dengan baik  mulai dari aktivasi sampai kirim SMS di iPhone4 ini 🙂

Jakarta Night Festival 2013

What is it all about?

So, to celebrate Jakarta’s 486th anniversary (June 22), the capital city will held several major events.
From annual event like Jakarta Great Sale, Jakarta Fair, Jakarnaval, Abang None beauty pageant and introduce new event called Jakarta Night Festival.

Jakarta Night Festival (JNF) itself is not actually new. Jokowi-Ahok introduced it on new year eve 2012-2013 as Jakarta Car Free Night. There was also similar event called as Malam Muda Mudi in the Ali Sadikin era.

During JNF, Sudirman-Thamrin-Monas was closed down from 6pm to midnight (some said until 2am). There were stages along the road from Slank, Jamrud, Steven & The Coconut Trees, Jazz – Dangdut – Blues – campursari – disco and also keroncong 🙂

Main stage was at Monas area where OVJ performed as well as Kotak and Bondan & Fade2Black.

These are some photos taken with my iPhone5…

Mobile Apps = App{roach} S{trategy}

Pasca kelahiran iPhone tahun 2007, kata ‘mobile‘ menjadi satu kata yang wajib untuk diperhatikan di kalangan business. Dan dengan melonjaknya trend penjualan ‘smart mobile device‘ (ga hanya phone doang yah) 3 tahun terakhir ini, ‘mobile‘ bukan hanya wajib untuk diperhatikan tapi perusahaan-perusahaan harus mulai terjun ke dalamnya.

‘Mobile’ akan menjadi channel distribusi baru.
‘Mobile’ akan menjadi metode service baru.
‘Mobile’ akan menjadi bisnis baru.

Tapiiiiiii… ada tapinya neh. Sebelum mulai melangkah maju, ada hal-hal yang perlu diperhatikan. Ini semua menyangkut strategi. Hal ini yang saya rasa masih minus di sini. Karena kebanyakan orang, terutama mereka yang ada di level business decision maker yang masih bertindak berkacamata kuda dan masih fly high dengan euforia tren yang sedang ada. Masa sih segitunya? Oh ho ho ho, percaya deh. I’ve been talking to guys like this dan itu melelahkan.

Jadi mau kamu jadi orang marketingnya, jadi orang produknya, jadi orang teknis nya, strategi ini sangat penting. Karena bikin strategi ini tidak akan beranjak jauh dari mengenal secara dalam apa sih binis kita itu sebenarnya dan apa sih app yang tepat yang akan kita butuhkan nanti.

Iya dong, banyak aspek yang harus diperhatikan. Ga cuman asal “eh gue pingin A B C, siapin duit dan pilih ajah antara X/Y/Z untuk membuatnya”. Tetotttt, nah ini yang bakal bikin berantakan karena both parties are clueless actually.

Nah, saya mengutip diagram infografis dari Mutual Mobile untuk sedikit memberikan gambaran contoh bagaimana kita membuat strategi terkait pemanfaatan mobile technology tadi. Karena Mutual Mobile adalah perusahaan yang bergerak di pengembangan mobile web dan responsive design, point-point yang akan dibahas di sini lebih mengarah ke pendekatan bentuk mobile app nya nanti mau seperti apa.

Dan klien MutualMobile ini ga tanggung-tanggung lho. Ada Google, Cisco, Xerox, Samsung, Audi dan banyak lagi

Wikufest and Atomic Tom

At Wikufest #1 2012 I choose “Look into your (mobile) devices” as the title of my presentation.
Compared with other titles, it’s just nothing… maybe. Not fancy, no technical items.
There’s Mobile Commerce, Mobile App Development, Cisco bla bla bla.

But I like making surprises, and I hope I did it well 😛

Yes guys, you can do more just by using what you’ve already have.
What’s been provided by environment around you
What’s inside your pocket
What’s in your head…

You’ve laughed with that frog video, ‘wow’ with the virtual 3d ads
But this is the video i like most

for iOS users, these are the app that make it happen
Piano: i think it’s Virtuoso Pianist by Peterb. But could be Pianist by MooCowMusic also
Guitar app: iShred by Frontier Design Group. I used it ^_^
Drum: Drum Meister by Seung yi Lee. Got it also 🙂
Bass: either Bassist by MooCowMusic or Pocket Guitar by Bonnet Inc

After Train and YouTube Effect, still with their phones

Now, after getting a Korg Nano Key, Nano Pad and Nano Control at Wikufest 2013.
Is there some cool stuff i could watch at Youtube or listen in sound cloud?

Kreatifitas itu seringnya muncul karena kepepet kebutuhan…
Tapi jangan menunggu kepepet untuk jadi kreatif ^_^
