bmobile vs digicel (coverage)

When asking the question digicel or bmobile one must consider different aspects of the services provided, that are of use, to the individual or group.

I will attempt to make a comparison of bmobile vs digicel taking each aspect in turn.

I am currently with digicel and i am thinking of switching to bmobile who i was with initially. We must always be willing to switch carriers otherwise the competition does not work to the consumer's advantage.

One of the most important features of any cellphone provider is coverage:

In the very early days of digital cell service, with bmobile being the only provider many parts of TNT was covered with very little if any service at all. Then digicel came along with 99% coverage (which was the reason that i switched to them).

The situation is a bit different now. There is bmobile coverage in most places int TNT however everyone knows someone that still can't get proper bmobile service in their home, while digicel gives full bars. There are even parts of Lavantille in POS that don't get proper bmobile service.

In summary if you are living in an area that is not covered well by bmobile, digicel is the way to go. Switch, don't be running from room to room (or outside) looking for a signal. Also call bmobile and let them know why you are switching so maybe one day when they upgrade their signal in your area you may consider switching back if they throw in some extra goodies.

digicel WINS on coverage in TNT.
