Embedding Page

Choosing how you’ll use the chatroom you have now is done here, in the Embedding page. Since the objective is to set up the chatroom in your site, you need to go with Embedded Options.

Embedded Options

Before you embed your chatroom, you need to set its size correctly, in accordance to the preferences of your site. This is important, especially if you don’t want to use too much space for the chatroom or want to make it noticed by your viewers easier. You can change the size by dragging the Height and Width scrollbars. There’s a preview window that will let you see the changes you’ve made.

After finalizing the size for your chatbox, look for its Javascript codes below. There should be two groups of them – you need to copy both. Open your site and paste the code where you want it embedded. There are added instructions written on the Embedded Options tab that will help you do so.

How to Setup Chatwing

Once you’ve pasted it, save the changes you’ve made on your site and open it again afterwards. The chatroom will be there, right where you want it to be.

Note: If Javascript doesn’t work on your site, replace the codes you pasted with the iFrame codes found on the lowest part of the Embedded Options tab to continue using Chatwing.

Using Chatwing

As the Admin, you have complete control over the chatroom. Any nuisances loitering on the chatroom can be kicked out immediately by you. You can have their messages deleted too. This will prevent spammers from exploiting the chatroom and use it to send out spam.

Through their social media accounts, they can start chatting inside instantly – there’s no more need to register any account whatsoever. But if they want to join in without their identities discovered, they can do so under the guise of a pseudonym by logging in as Guests.

The chatroom will efficiently handle your chatters with ease, and it will always have room for anyone. And it is constantly improving, features and all. This is so that it will continue to provide the best chatting experience for its users.

Just duplicated old Globe sim to new Globe nano sim

I have this 6 year old Globe sim which is already a vintage one for me and survived the lifetime of a ordinary mobile number.

With all the new release smartphones which required a different type of sim or its form like the micro sim and nano sim which is similar to the ordinary sim pack but smaller in size. Now, old sim pack similar to mine have bigger bronze surface (electronic read) than the new once released, which is why only few would their to cut one, especially to nano sim.

I just found out from a friend of mine that Globe Telecom offers sim duplication for both postpaid and prepaid which is very good service to save and backup your old sim as well as have a duplicate in case anything goes wrong with the old one.

How did I do it? Here are the steps.

– Go to any Globe Service Center near you, it’s advisable to go mall branches (chances are they offer that service or they can accommodate it).

– Line up in their “Customer Service” window or ask a priority number (not the Cashier).

– Just tell the customer service representative to duplicate your Globe prepaid sim and your valid reasons (do the talking).

– They will check if there is an available sim and they will check your sim serial number using your mobile phone or you can show the original sim casing (the card form when you bought your sim). Anyways, you can let them check the sim serial number using their mobile 🙂

– Pay 40 pesos for the duplicate sim and wait for about 5 to 8 minutes and your duplicate sim is ready. That’s it!

Duplicating Globe sim is much cheaper than cutting sim which is about 70-100 pesos in certain establishments and you got to preserve your original sim and not risk of losing it forever.
