Link to youtube video https://youtu.be/tbzC5TWrwNk


Transcript : The bmobileGo app was launched today. I saw an ad for it in the Guardian newspapers. It is available for Android and Apple devices. Their website has listed the functionality of the app. I am a prepaid customer so topup is the most useful feature to me. The website also lists the benefits as they see it. Convenient. Reliable. User- friendly. 24/7 Access. I installed the app but was not able to create an account because I was not receiving the OTP code. I dont know the reason why the app is not sending me an OTP code but I hope the app was properly tested. I was able to sign in with my Google account. I tried the prepaid topup using my scotia visa debit card and that was successful. I like the quick codes feature. The find a store feature is also useful. No mobile data required to use the app. I wish I also had the option to purchase topup from online banking. I wish the chat feature was within the app. Chat was not available so I called customer service and they said to restart phone. That did not work. Still not receiving the OTP code. I emailed 3 different emails I found on the play store and on the website and no response as yet. I will update in the comments when I am finally able to add my account. Website has useful info on using the app. Link in this video description - https://bmobile.co.tt/kbtopic/bmobilego-mobile-app/. Wish they had some video tutorials. Also, they should link to the app directly from their website so that you are sure you are downloading the exact app. A feature I would like to see on the app is to be able to turn "pay as go" on and off. How many of you have lost money to "pay as go" by accident? I would rate the app 7 out of 10 for functionality and 8 out of 10 for user experience. The only thing I wasnt able to do was add my account and number. Once added they say I would see the following. Share your thoughts with us in the comments below. What features do you want to see in the app? What has your experience been like? Did you get the OTP code? I encourage you to review the app on the play store and give them your feedback.

Giving

It is 237pm and I have decided to write. I drank a strong cup of coffee. It is hot outside but cool inside in the AC. I have no topic but I feel like writing. I love giving charity. Who knows it, feels it. The world would be a much better place if we all shared with one another. If we helped one another. If we only take as much as we need and leave the rest for others. If we prioritised needs over wants. We are going to leave it all behind when we die. We cannot carry anything into the grave except our deeds. One of the easiest ways to give money to charities is through SMS codes. The telecoms should have a system in place where charitable causes can sign up for an SMS code to accept donations. Long ago I remember seeing the donation tins at the supermarket. We should have more of those. I think more people would give more if they were presented with more opportunities to give. The nlcb booths could be outlets for making donations. Linx machines could be points for making donations. AT...

Technology in Trinbago

It is 205am and I have decided to write. I was doing some research and trying to update myself on what is happening in the tech space in Trinidad and Tobago. Nothing stood out in particular. I went looking at what other Caribbean countries were doing that we could adopt. I think there are opportunities in that. Then I decided to focus my energy on coming up with a list of things I think could be done with tech in Trinbago. 1. Feeding a startup culture. Ease of doing business. Make it easy to start and run a business. Support for businesses that earn foreign exchange. 2. Launch the work from home policy. 3. Have a similar policy for online schooling and home schooling. 4. Tech literacy focusing on cybersecurity and keeping safe online. 5. What would it take to get Paypal and CashApp supported here? 6. Support and encouragement for tech bloggers and tech youtubers. 7. More hackatons and a yearly developer survey. 8. Facilitating contact and communication between local techies and big tec...

A simple prayer

It is 200pm and I have started to write again. I abandoned my last blog post. I did not know what to write. I still do not know what to write about but I am still going to write anyway. I was thinking. What if there was a clock where a day was 100 hours and an hour was 100 minutes, what would be the current time in Trinidad according to that clock? 58.82 would be the time according to my friend — 5+8+8+2 = 23. 58.33 would have been the time I started — 5+8+3+3 = 19. If you are familiar with my writing you know that 19 and 23 comes from my book Love Letters. Nice but what to write about? I was thinking about a simple prayer. What would be a simple prayer? What would be the simplest prayer? My friend says that "thank you" is a simple prayer that carries so much weight. What about a prayer that is an acronym of the word simple? That forms a grammatically correct sentence. [insert s word] in my prayer like [insert e word]. Share, save, soul ... ease, every, eternal are some words...
