50.000 GSM Lines Available December 15
November 27th, 2008 | by admin |Good news for the tens of thousands who have been waiting patiently for a cellular telephone line, 50.000 GSM lines will be available on December 15, said Orlando Cascante, director de Servicios Móviles del ICE.
Cascante was quick to point out that the lines are not new, but rather, lines from users who did not pay their bills on time or decided to cancel the service.
ICE has a policy of “liquidacion” after two consecutive bills are unpaid. In such a case customers lose their lines, however, can in many cases get back the same number if the non payment has not continued for more than 3 months, or will be assigned a new number.
ICE’s plan to is make available between 2.000 and 2.500 lines a day based on reservation.
According to ICE, there are some 150.000 people waiting to get cellular service.
ICE is working on expanding the Ericsson network by 300.000 additional lines, which should have been available the first week of December and reviewing the bids for the 950.000 3G lines which the institution says will be available sometime by the end of 2009.
