Features and style are important things to consider when buying a new cell phone. However, the service provider you choose is as (if not more) important. It is important to know what your needs are and whether or not a particular service provider meets those needs.

Currently there are two cellular service providers in Trinidad and Tobago. These are bMobile (TSTT) and Digicel. Both will argue that theirs is the best network and service. Without a doubt, both will have their individual strengths and weaknesses. The bottom line is that you must decide what is important to you and choose a provider based on those requirements.

Word of mouth can be a great way to gain information, about the quality of service delivered by a provider. Ask family members and friends about the service they have experienced from different providers. Ask them about costs, customer service and the quality of reception received in different areas of Trinidad and Tobago (in particular the areas that you frequent). You should have a fair understanding of how well each provider performs in each of these areas before you make your choice.

Now you can choose a service provider that will meet your specific needs at a price that’s fair to you, the consumer.
