If you already are post paid I don't see the problem in taking a phone on contract. You would end up paying the same monthly rate unless you were planning to cancel/switch.

Gamersgate has a really sweet deal on Ghost Recon: http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-TCGRC/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-collection-bundle

Not redeemable on Steam though...which may or may not be a good thing.

Exactly that.

Lets say for example.....Digicel decided to offer a brilliant $99 a month data plan for 10GB. 4G Inclusive of some talk time and text.

Bmobile will have you by the gonads for two years, unable to make the switch to Digi penalty free.

If we only had one major player in town, I would feel comfortable being locked in.

Begun, the 4G war has.

Digicel vs Bmobile.

For that reason, I'm out (in the voice of Daymond from The Shark Tank)

Yeah we'll see how it goes but if it is any indication so far they seem to match each other in terms of price. Perhaps service quality etc. will be differentiating. A price war will simply "bottom" out. I wouldn't want to switch if it was for a small discount, changing numbers is a hassle for me. It seems like they following the North American model where contracts like these are common.

Think about it if Digicel did have a huge price drop and bmobile didn't respond with either lower prices or upgraded packages their customers would be pissed. They wouldn't want to lose those customers after 24 months, that would be pretty short sighted strategy. I haven't really been following Digicel in terms of bundled minutes/prepaid costs but how have they fared compared to Bmobile over the past 4 years or so? Have they ever "beaten" Bmobile on price?

Well for starters, Digicel was first to market with 4G. People like myself on the green team had to salt with EDGE.

If you were locked in on contract....you wouldn't have the option to switch without penalty.

No4G4U

Suppose they drop another network upgrade next year. Want to risk being left behind again?

And the more people bmobile can get to take those contracts, is the more assured they would be of their pricing strategy. Why reduce prices when they have X amount of customers locked in at $450+ vat for two years?

Some of my family swear by Digicel. Apparently cell to cell its tons cheaper than bmobile. They take advantage of all those talk for free after the first 3 minutes type deals. I don't use it personally (as mentioned before, stuck on the green team)

I'm considering it for the misses because she couldn't care less whether is 3G 4G or Swappi inna 4D

If something better comes along within the two years, it won't be a problem.

Will keep my primary phone contract less though, so at least one of us could have that flexibility.

Then again, thanks to the integrated wireless hotspot on the droid, one epic 4G can serve two phones (once we're in close proximity)

Decisions decisions.

I can attest to one thing though 4g coverage is hands down better on Digi, I don't ever drop to edge but bmobile is a different story, located between central, north and east. Hopefully in time they will get up to par

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #608 on:** December 11, 2012, 01:30:36 AM »

I've used 4G on my Nexus in Trincity and Port of Spain so far without issue.

Have yet to hit Tobago. lol

Should be heading down south soon as well. Will give it a shot down there. Where exactly are the trouble spots for you?

Couva, Freeport?

Chaguanas and macoya, sometimes on the highway, not that big of a problem but very noticeable coming from Digi with no dips
