Bmobile broadcasts their 4G bandwidth on 2,4 &28. If I bought a phone missing one of those, would the signal be that much affected?

Depends on which one is missing. Some cell sites only have band 2, some only have band 28 so it would be better to have a phone that's has these two bands specifically. They've only recently started to roll out band 4 but if you can get a device that has all 3 bands it would be highly recommended.

The annoying part for me its taking up 3 notifications spot ontop my phone and now have space for 1 notification at a time/per app... all others are hidden till pull down to check.. Next to my IG notification is front facing camera so nothing shows in that zone for obvious reasons..


And for aesthetics it looks like pure bullsh1t also

On Android, yes, with root and a sideloaded apk. Not really worth that security risk.

Considering how bmobile pulled back its sponsorships, retrenched staff, axed a lot of the topup freebies like extra credit and data, restricted the remaining freebies so they don't make sense, removed the affordable talk and data plans and replaced them with a costly alternative that also don't make sense, the question is what sort of vibez is bmobile anyway?

With the kinda finances they owing people and uncertain future they facing they should have saved that ridiculous marketing consulting fee and kept the provider I.D as it is. Most times the best thing you could do when you in a hot corner is stay quiet and not draw attention to yourself.

Seems a number of ppl are having issues making and receiving calls on bmobile.
Trying to call and getting call failed. It's random though.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Had a client tell me he couldn’t get me but my office is notoriously a dead zone so thought it was that. He was calling from digi and I am bmobile if it matters

I guess you can keep using them and expect a different result next month.

So the $15 and $25 talk & data addons no longer possible unless you have a data plan. So i will have to pay $160 for the Eagle plan per month. Perhaps it was an oversight that that has been possible for a couple of years and they now ketch on to it?

So they finally rolled it up. I was saying that this was what they meant to do all along since they announced that new set of plans if you scroll back to those posts. Less for more definitely always the plan. And Digicel does the same regarding addons so really can't complain your only choice now is which set of deadzone dogsheit smelling better for your wallet.

lol Digicel plan offering 1GB data for 30 days for $175 how disgustingly ridiculous is that? 1GB!!

Ent we was supposed to be getting a 3rd mobile provider some years ago... like in 2016. Has TATT been sleeping since? Somebody needs to come in and shake up these two. Digicel too expensive (bmobile not too far behind) and bmobile does just be thiefing your money for spite. The monopoly has now turned into a duopoly and TATT not doing sheit. You telling me a 5 second call costing me a full $1.45 on digi and $1.39 on bmobile. That is madness

Does pay $160 a month with rollover... Does use data heavy at times Spotify android auto streaming etc. But it's whoever use the plan in the initial time get the option to select it every month others don't see the option
