CellOne is foreign owned and yet the company is being called a ‘local firm’.
The management teams should consider a career in stand up comedy…

What a “crock”! Cellularone are owned by ATN (Atlantic Tele Network) they are an american owned company that call the shots and pull the strings. The notion that this is a local company is a Joke… Just because they have fooled the Regulators.. does not mean they can fool us…. Cellularone is Foreign owned…..

Bottom line !

No difference. I have been with Digicel from day one now and I have to buy all my phones from Celluloco. whenever MY SERVICE PROVIDER DIGICEL brings in a new phone they have no interest in offering them to me or their existing customers, they just try to market them with a new account. I am a regular customer so I guess I have to pay a regular price! When you sign a contract it should also state, THIS IS THE LAST PHONE WE ARE GOING TO OFFER YOU.

For instance, the Blackberry Storm here was about $550.00 (WITH contract) , while I saw them in the U.S. for under $200! I understand they pay duty and all of that, but surely they don’t need to be charging almost 3 times the amount the phone would cost in the US. It’s not like we have 30 phone companies where they can’t find customers. Let’s face it- The companies we have here are monopolies.

I’m with M3 and just got their $47/month plan including 100 minutes and IM service (BBM). I’m happy with the price and service after being a customer for 2 years. I’m just wondering what this merger will mean going forward since M3 is the only carrier that sells phones unlocked.

I am a M3 customer(well ‘was’ after reading this…lol), but dont use roaming features….too expensive….OMG!!!

Dropped calls, network is busy when trying to make calls. I keep receiving text messages every month stating that payment cannot not be secured on my card, but I no longer have them deducting from my card as I prefer to make payments online…. so why I am getting text messages that do not apply to me??? I’m also tired of receiving the digicel contest text messages, which I’ve asked them to stop sending me – yet I’m still receiving them :/ But does digicel send out a text message to it’s customers letting us know that they are experiencing issues and that i cannot send/receive calls or text messages… NOPE!

Their customer service is a joke. I’ve called their call center not only to wait forever to be connected to an agent, but when an agent answers he/she then hangs up on me… And it has happened more than 3 times!!

I’ll be making the switch once my contract is over.

LMAO You are but a few lil’ words on a website. Stop patting yourself on the back, ya not that important.

You can’t speak to MY experiences. I am voicing MY personal experiences with Digicel within an UNFORMAL format. The words I choose are my own.

To enlighten you further, I am one that makes FORMAL complaints to which I have gotten ‘some’ results. However, I don’t feel one shouldn’t have to continuously complain about bad service. A service I pay for! How many complaints does a company need to get before you decide to raise your level of service??

If you are happy with your service at Digicel, good for you. I didn’t yank your chain to start with! YOU POSTED ON MY COMMENT, not the other way around.

PS. Just because you used the word “eloquently” doesn’t make you any smarter… Just a word to make other people THINK your are!

I went to the movies with my friends a couple weeks ago and my friends with Cell One and M3 didn’t have any bars at all. My friend sitting next to me who’s with Digicel but has an old 2G Curve had like 1 or 2 bars. My Torch (I’m also with Digicel) had 4 bars!!

I dunno about standing in line. Aside from getting a new phone, I never go into the shop… You can do most things online these days.

I don’t use Digicel because they are the cheapest. I use them because I get the best service with the most products. And nobody knows a blackberry like Digicel. They are a young innovative company and are constantly making changes. I have been with them since AT&T and even as an exisiting customer have been able to participate in sales. I am not suggesting they are perfect but I was with other providers before and now am quite happy where I am.

Do not make blanket statements you can not support. Speak only for yourself. I didn’t elect you to speak for me.

I have been in the Digicel store to pay my bill and i hear and see how customers act. The reality is that most consumers in Bermuda have Champagne taste and Pepsi pockets. What that translates to is (Scenario) that people see there is a promotion that Digicel has launched and ASS-U-ME that because they see $99 price tag and a picture of a BlackBerry Torch they are being miss led. They are always guide lines and stipulations to any sale at any company but the average consumer can not comprehend that. Most people who have something negative to say are usually the have-nots and are the ones they can’t or just refuse to pay their bills. My point is that consumers will always have something to say and Digicel can’t be that bad of a company if the competitors have to merge to give the people of Bermuda a better offering, WTF! Digicel clearly does that on their own if they are still the market leader. Don’t be blinded by the media and ignorant talk. Respect “A Little Confused”

Boss Lady, I do not receive ‘CRAP service’ as you so eloquently put it. I have a tendency to get great customer service wherever I go. I find that my attitude is reflected in the people I deal with. Just as I have now upset you, you are reflecting those emotions back to me.
