my bmobile tech chat transcript from this morning

AARON: hello
lwillia2:
Good morning. Welcome to Bmobile Webchat. My name is Ms Williams. How may I help you?
AARON: please clarify, when buying an iPhone 4, you pay 3500 for the handset and another 3000 up front as a downpayment??
lwillia2: That is correct.
AARON: *Please tell your management that this is way over priced!! - I will be ordering the iPhone 4 from Apples website unlocked for 4500 TTD*
AARON: thank you
lwillia2: Thank you for using our Web Chat service and for making Bmobile your option.

so i guess they dont care either

they are putting the $3000 towards your bill over a 24 month period though - so it's actually cheaper in the long run to buy it from bmobile.

I think they want you to make that downpayment as a way to not have people buy iPhones and resell it.

normal data sim wouldnt work, you need the micro sim and plan, they would be tied together.. just like a BB sim and data plan

jus a slight correction

I took my bb data sim and used it in my iPhone , when I purchased my iPad 2 I modified it to a micro simn inserted it , I am still using it in my iPad and it works great , much faster than on my bb .

so I can confirm that the once u activate the bb service / data plan on any sim card it will work on a non blackberry phone .

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ the data can seem faster on the iPad 2 just because of the dual core processor which parses webpages faster - the data rate is still the same as on your BB

[Bezman]

well iDynamic, you just clarified what i said, you couldnt use the data plan on another sim, you used the sim that the data plan was assigned to

well... 3000 /24 = 125 + 250 = 375 a month

which is more than i pay now a month

and this way, i can switch to the other network if need

isnt the 4g personal hotspot alone over 300$?

if so bmobile deal is not that bad because they offering the 4G for free


also it would be good if when the iPhone 4s/5 releases that customers can trade in their iPhone 3Gs /4 and pay the difference for the 4s/5 ....that would be great , not good.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

ok just to CONFIRM - a TSTT employee responsible for rolling out 3G just confirmed that 3G IS NOT OPERATIONAL IN T&T from TSTT as yet

they are looking at later on in the year perhaps at the end of the 3rd quarter

There is no 3G for iPhone (or any phone) at this time. Instead to compensate bmobile is offering a 4G wifi hotspot free of charge to customers who purchase an iPhone 4 from them.

Since this person is more on the engineering side of the 3G rollout they cannot confirm if everyone with EDGE will automatically get 3G when it is activated or if there will be a separate charge - taht is up to marketing or billing dept or some other department.

So you can stop turning on your 3G on your iPhone every 2 minutes to check to see if you see a 3G icon!! lol

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

200th post on the 200th page of this thread

what do you think bmobile has planned for existing iphone users because as off now the reps have no clue, they only keep repeating package 1, package 2, package 3

[iDynamic]

is the slowness of the wifi that thief out my head oui... actually believed it was 3G speeds

[SRASC]

Yea, I figured it would. The speeds say that, but it actually browses pretty fast. Not running up to par today though. Probably as a result of Blink's recent problems.

[AD Solutions]

stupes epic thief head

I don't think they have a clue for existing iPhone 4 customers. I'd guess as well they don't know things like the Caller ID issue, the robbed Personal Hotspot, GPRS/EDGE settings, MMS settings.

Saw this unlocked iPhone 4 price chart I made earlier?



My EDGE ain't any better...
