I use Digicell when we are down there (5 months a year). How can I intergrate a SmartPhone with internet service. I have Coral Cable @ $130 BZ per month, and I only use it 5 months out of the year. I was told if I disconnect my internet when I'm not there that I may not be able to re-establish service when I am there because of availability. Please advise!

Al - I've had them 'temporarily' shut down my internet and cable and did not have any 'reconnect' fees. I did it when I was going to be gone for two months.

bywarren - I've had the same prepaid digicell for about nine years. I simply call my number once every couple of months while we are not in Belize, leave a message and therefore keep my number activated. Had my phone stolen a couple of years ago and I do the same with my new digicell.

Thanks for that info. I was understood to believe you had to make calls within Belize. I leave my phone with a friend that does that, but from what you say that would not be necessary.

Harriet, how long do you have to wait for them to re-connect it when you get back?

Does anyone know if Coral Cable has an email address to contact them.

Try coralcable@ccvbz.net

The Digicell service continues to be abysmal. Does anyone know if they are even trying to sort it out?

bumped into some BTL engineers fixing a minor landline problem this afternoon. I asked them about the Digicell problems and they confirmed that they personally were having a lot of difficulty making & receiving calls, but they hadn't realised the problem was general. The senior guy called in to the Digicell engineers while I was standing there and they told him they weren't aware of any problems. He then described the problems he was having and referred to the problems I had told him about it. The Digicell guy said he'd look into it.

It seems incredible that no-one has reported the problems and that Digicell are unaware of any, but that's what they wanted me to believe. I suggest that everyone who is currently dissatisfied with Digicell go to the trouble to register a complaint with them. Then maybe we might get something done.
