True. For an EDGE network these are reasonable restrictions. However in this day and age not allowing (b) and (d) is keeping us in the stone ages. Most smartphones can act as a modem and you know we all want to use Skype or Tango on the go. Digicel will be crazy to keep these conditions for their 3G plans.

any android pps? i tried not working i didn't get any text saying i was selected but i tried the settings any help? i am seeing the 3g network when i manually search but i am getting a error when trying to connect. My phone is quad band :
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

you need to have the service activated on your sim

Wow this is very embarrassing for b-Mobile.

TSTT has always been reactive, its only because of competition the started to step up....

no..they don't NEED to step up their game for anything because trinis will always rush to buy whatever they have to be 'in de game'

look at those ridiculous 4g devices..you'd be amazed at how many fools rush to get that nonsense. if people boycotted, then TSTT would move to suit

TSTT separated the services in order to make more money......you want a phone..no problem...buy a phone and get basic use..you want data...get a 2G edge plan more money .....want faster data get a hot spot - more money and its on a contract.....

they separating the services to make more $$$$.....data and voice should be together - not separate...

[Nasrallah]

must say it is working good, how much for the packages though? i am already paying $200 a month for data

Bmobile $100 unlimited FTW

[mojosodope]

I'm sure their terms and conditions will be updated with new restrictions with the fair usage policy when the service is fully launched and plans have been made available.

[stev]

this only for non blackberry users right?

[nemisis]

Barbados and Jamaica site have details of the packages and pricing so its a good place to get an idea of the data plan strategy

[stev]

^^^yeh but wat kinda competition is there in those countries? digicel cud buss price in we ass until bmobile step up in their game.

why cry?
aren't you among the few that post in here that complaining that 3G taking long to reach?
dont you want to have blazing fast speeds to pull up youtube vids on your phone?

i sure i could find the thread where everyone was saying when the pricing scheme hit the market all who begging for it will complain / bawl at the cost

[mojosodope]

^ I agree if the speculated price bothers you so much then don't pay for it and stick with whatever service you currently have.

Those who wanted the service and felt like they needed it will pay for and get it, simple as that.

[shaq090]

It's not the price...... It's the amount of data u can get.,... Bb will have unlimited data but other phones will have some really small quota of data..... Thats if they give us curaçao's policy....

[Stephon.]

LMFAO you are so predictable bye!

Ok service in Williamsville and environs....



The way some men talking here, I sense some epic throttling in the future....lol

[CL9_EURO]

A lot if not all of TMOBILE USA Phones will not work here as they use the 1700/2100 bands...
I tried a couple devices to confirm. I know a lot of 4G Android devices being sold locally are tmobile devices so just a heads up to you guys thats not getting service.

As for other android devices only thing you need to change is the APN and for each device i tested so far the network automatically pushes the apn settings to the phone. Again you need to have the service activated on your account...

Following a detailed evaluation against stringent technical and operational criteria, ITU has determined that “LTE-Advanced” and “WirelessMAN-Advanced” should be accorded the official designation of IMT-Advanced. As the most advanced technologies currently defined for global wireless mobile broadband communications, IMT-Advanced is considered as “4G”, although it is recognized that this term, while undefined, may also be applied to the forerunners of these technologies, LTE and WiMax, and to other evolved 3G technologies providing a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed. The detailed specifications of the IMT-Advanced technologies will be provided in a new ITU-R Recommendation expected in early 2012.
