New Blue mobile network

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Seems they are offering cellular and mobile data services?

$1 for smartphone and laptops if you subscribe eh. Trini's going to crash that event just for that limited time deal, That event might actually be the worst place to be tomorrow.

[VexXx Dogg]

Facebook page is sus. Red flags like rain
generic godaddy page although they in operation for a while (scroll page and see)
gmail address for PR contact.
Bmobile number as main point of contact? (I suppose they ported, but still kinda sus)

[pugboy]

they buying bulk time off main carrier and reselling
common practice all over and even more so now with the advent of esims

Yep, Trinis gonna show their true colors.

Pushing, shoving, fighting, cussing….

I hope the venue is properly ventilated for Trini crowd that coming to crash.

Anything official from TATT on the legitimacy of this, published operating frequencies, permissions, etc.?

Good moves for the mobile market. Things need to get as cheap and open like in India.

that star logo look ripped off from Star Plus (indian soap opera channel) and Disney star.

also huge missed opportunity if they dont use these songs in marketing:


or this one

[snowman]

Well it's essentially a rebrand then.

[bluefete]

Bottom line: What are their rates / charges / terms / conditions.

They said it on Instagram which I am not on.

And that $1.00 is for parents with children first then the rabble after.

Edit: Now hearing yuh have to walk with at least a $269.00

[Monk BANzai]

looking forward to see how this new player affects the current solution and pricing as an alternative for Cloud storage/Offsite storage and recovery...

[gastly369]

Limited info still

[death365]

1. The phone pictured is a doogee x97 pro (or the regular x97) ... very basic specs about 150usd

2. It's generally a mvno but using what network?

3. Stay away from that madness that will be happening today

[maj. tom]

TATT website has no info at all on The Star Network or Blue Mobile. No publications or announcements, nothing. Their godaddy website looks like somebody out of high school made it with one of those YouTube ads for SquareSpace.

And the Star Network has had a Facebook page publishing mundane nonsense for about 3 years before this rebranding switch and gradual announcement launch.

Anybody signing up, report your experiences please.

maybe is just a ready-finance/island-finance/higher-purchase scheme where they "sell" you a phone or laptop for $1 and you higher-purchase for $25/week for five years or some flabbergastry

[fokhan_96]

Looks like another "Laqtel" ...
Some of all yuh would be too young to remember that.

The info snowman posted rang a bell.

I remember seeing some literature on the Grapes Education stuff. They were giving free laptops for a subscription based education platform - which would have of course covered the cost over time.

So yea, this might be the same scene under a different name

[K74T]

Building management shut down the event LOL.

IIRC every other concession in telecommunications in Trinidad was via an RFP/competitive bidding.
I really don't recall seeing any RFPs for TATT for broadband or cellular providers in a while.

Persons arrived since 4 this morning!

[jsm1985]

Everything about the marketing, webpage, phone number seems like 1 person did it from their bedroom. Seems very "struggle-ish".

[sarcasm]Shocking. Who would have thought that.[/sarcasm]

Seriously though, planning fail on their part.

On a side note, if Starlink does setup in Trinidad, I do wonder how they'll treat with the name of this particular company? FWIW, it seems like Star is trying to capitalise on the recent blurb about Starlink in the local media.

[redmanjp]

hope ppl doh confuse this with Starlink which also launching

Edit: i see somebody beat me to it ^

[redmanjp]

seems they were trying to launch since February judging from their FB posts

I sorry for their CSR's whenever this event actually happens. We all know is the CSR's responsible for cyat in bag schemes.

[Country_Bookie]

I just bounce up Elon by the doubles man. He say next month he coming back to give away Model 3's for $100. All them stealerships ago dead.

Yup, US trinis might do just that, however YOU Guyanese will have to wait a lil longer to show your true colours.

Correction: $259.00 a month for 3 years

Can't compare it to Uber because this isn’t a foreign company or franchise coming here. It’s a local company.
