How dotish. Power goes out...no land line

Some modems have battery backup. Maybe you can ask about that or get a ups then when power goes, your landline would still work.

[matr1x]

Still, the very idea of a system that before didn't need an electric input....now at the mercy of a power outtage. How dumb

[FrankChag]

you sound like a bitter die-hard tstt customer
you never had a flow phone joe? they work with wall juice, same same.

I had flow





Watch, talk, stickkkkkkkk

[maj. tom]

Internet telephony doesn't work that way.

Another issue is flows network having battery backup. If it doesn't then u could have ups u not getting a connection.

When I first had flow we would have connection during a power outage but after a few years it appeared the network connection itself went down with the outage

[matr1x]

Only chumps go with flow

CWU: TSTT haemorrhaging millions of dollars per day

TSTT’s online systems have crashed and it could be costing the state telecoms provider over 100 million dollars. That’s according to the Communication Workers Union which claims TSTT is haemorrhaging millions of dollars per day. This after some of its digital portals went down. With its website offline, TSTT has suspended all bill payments. But while it may spell good news for customers, as Akash Samaroo tells us workers are now afraid that the losses will give the company more leverage for retrenchment.

Why doesn't the government just sell TSTT , it clearly isn't profitable, they just like beating this dead horse

[SuperiorMan]

Why doesn't the government just sell TSTT , it clearly isn't profitable, they just like beating this dead horse

Should have been sold a long time ago.

[DTAC]

TSTT/bMobile is like every other Government backed "Monopoly". Pay "jook-out-yuh-eye" prices or go somewhere else. The thing is, is that there is choice Digicel in the case of TSTT/bMobile and a number of other airlines for Caribbean Airlines. But that mentality is so entrenched that even in the face of competition they don't be competitive.

Case in point, look at pay-as-you-go data. It's so insanely expensive, 99% of the revenue from pay-as-you-go data most likely comes from people leaving on data after their data package ends only to realise your $100 top-up was obliterated in 5 minutes of Internet use.
I speak from experience

If pay-as-you-go data was reasonable (like $10 per Gig), you know how many people would just leave it running and top up phonecards to pay for it. They'd sell a crapload more phonecards.
I would do that because it makes no sense paying hundreds of dollars for a data package for a connection between my Wifi at home and Wifi at the office, but I'd happily buy a phonecard every week or so to have at least a persistent Internet connection on the go.

[redmanjp]

^i just take a $15 data addon which gives me 2GB and last a month. only need it for when i not at home or work just like u and i only use it for streaming radio, websites and whatsapp no videos so i doh use up plenty.

I always thought that was an add-on to an existing package. Thanks mate.

I like bMobile again.

that's one of the reasons i didnt port my number to digi even though they call me twice to encourage me to do it. for the same data i would have to take a plan with plenty minutes which i wont use much of plus take a data plan on top of it.

Anyone having problems when making or receiving calls on Bmobile?
After calling the number it doesn't ring - just silence
When answering calls there's just silence.
Calls not connecting
Works after a few tries

[SuperiorMan]

For whatever reason roaming hasn't been working the last couple of days too.....no ringing or anything.

If you're in the U.S., AT&T and T-Mobile have shut down their 3G networks so unless you're connected to T-Mobile's limited 2G network you're not going to get calls or SMS to work until bmobile rolls out VoLTE in Trinidad and signs a VoLTE roaming agreement with either AT&T or T-Mobile. The same thing applies to Digicel as well.

A lot of cell sites are down for bmobile atm. I called customer care and they said that due to the recent retrenchment, they don't have anyone to go see what's wrong with the sites. Very disappointing imo.

Ohhh then that makes sense. I really need a new 5G phone.

This would explain why bmobile service went to sheit this yr. I'm surprised they still have customers tbh
