It seems as though the advent of competition has caused TSTT to re-structure their bmobile rates in that it's now TT$0.58 + VAT per minute after the first 3 minutes of your normal rate to make and/or receive calls on and/or from your bmobile cell.

This includes calls made to and from fixed lines to bmobile cells.

What do you think of that?

If I calling a mobile from my home phone then that works out to be a charge of at least TT$2.76 (TT$0.80-VATx 3) after the first tree minutes then a charge of TT$0.50-VAT on the fourth minute.

I'll do the math properly later.

So we now have to pay to receive phone calls on our cell phones??

nah i dont think they will start back doing that, but you never know eh, because at the end of the day is nasty TSTT. but we have it good though, because those service providers in the states still charge you for recieving calls. like if you have a post paid plan with xxxx amount of minutes every month, when you revieve calls, your minutes does go down. and its the samething with sms.

Yeah but most of those North American providers offer plans with unlimited local calling after 6 pm etc. So it kinda balances out, at night you can use your phone like a regular land line.

Can anyone give a comparison of before and after with these new cell phone rates?

Where is Digicel? Not even seeing any ads......

check the date of this thread last post was in '06, plus those prices back then were temporary as stated on the fine print on the ads and the multiple extensions they allowed for those lower rate deals.
