Is the Mimo Service Down?

Hi Pratik, Mimo is up. What problem are you having?
Pratik Sinha 2:30 sáng on Tháng Hai 9, 2010 Liên kết tĩnh
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server
Thats the error I get when I try to access mimo.vn.

That’s really odd. We haven’t see any issues from throughout Vietnam. Do you happen to know the Internet Service Provider you’re using? If you access url.mimo.vn or m.mimo.vn or http://www.mimo.vn or just http://mimo.vn, they all result in the same problem?

nothing works, all that works is blog.mimo.vn .. so basically just your wordpress site, not the app. I do not know what ISP am using, because I am staying in a hotel. However I tried going through a proxy and it results in the same problem
http://www.faceoxy.com/index.php?q=http://www.mimo.vn. Try that.
Tried a couple more proxies besides this one, and all give the same error. So it may not be an ISP issue. This is what the whatismyipaddress.com gives me as my ISP, and it also confirms that I’m behind a proxy server.
Hostname: proxy01-hcm.vnn.vn
ISP: Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications (VNPT)
Organization: VietNam Data Communication Company
Proxy: Confirmed proxy server. (Read about proxy servers)
Type: Cable/DSL
May be a proxy issue?

Hi Pratik,
We still haven’t figured it out. It may be that your hotel itself may be using a proxy. We tested with other places using VNPT with no issues. Have you had any luck today?

Hi Pratik, we’re looking into it. We’ll update you as soon we have know something.

Well the issue was Firefox (3.6.2pre on Kubuntu 9.10). Epiphany works fine. Now the other issue I am facing is that my smses to 8045 are giving me a failed delivery and hence I can’t register my phone with the service. I have Mobifone (01289xxxxxx series).

Hi Pratik, thanks for the updated information. We’re looking into seeing what’s wrong and will try to have an answer for you by the weekend.

Hi Pratik, we’ve been getting SMS’es fine from your number series. Have you been only having trouble with the 8045 shortcode? Do normal SMS’es go through? Do you happen to remember if you’re using pre or post pay on the account?
By the way. getting to Mimo via Faceoxy was ok for us.
