This is pretty cool. I was wondering how to turn that off.

There's also another message I have seen when in no coverage areas. It's a popup that comes up VERY often and says "There are mobile networks available that might have limited service, do you want to connect to them?" (or something like that) and you say No and it will prompt you again.

Anyone know what that service is called?

BTC Bahamas (aka BaTelCo) is the only carrier in the country of the Bahamas. Yes, until 2014, its a monopoly. It is partly government owned and offers telephone, internet and wireless services. In New Providence and Grand Bahama, it operates an HSPA network. It is currently rolling out this network over the Bahamas. It has peak download speed of 8 Mbit/s for post-paid accounts, and 2 Mbit/s for pre-paid accounts.

BaTelCo is an acronym for the Bahamas Telecommunications Company, now simply referred to as BTC. A majority share of BTC was purchased by Cable and Wireless on April 7, 2011 from the Government of the Bahamas. Unfortunately, and predictably, they do not have a users forum. They are constantly working on their system due to upgrades, cables being cut by road crews, and frequent power outages. Finding out information about BTC's current status online is next to impossible. If you're like me, and flashing roms or radios, etc., you never really know if a problem is caused by the rom/radio, or by BTC's network. I am starting this thread in the hopes that BTC users have somewhere to go and report current issues, because calling customer support is absolutely useless when experiencing data connection loss, proper APNs to use, and other issues relating to our devices here in the Bahamas.

Please, if you have any information regarding current network status in your area, or any questions to ask, tweaks or mods to share, complaints to voice or just observations to make, please list them here.

data throughput has been next to useless in Freeport, Grand Bahama since 9/27/12, no connection to google servers, therefore, no sync capability....although, I can ping google.com, services such as talk.google.com do not connect...market does (inconsistently) and gmail and gvoice can be manually synced, at times...

of course, a call to customer service only netted a "we are currently working on it" statement....no official announcement on their website or facebook page (at least that I have found)
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Just some helpful info

Pppinternet.btcbahamas.com is outdated so just use Internet.btcbahamas.com for both prepaid and post.

I was in Freeport two weeks ago and drove all over the island with H+ on, and working, on my S3. I'm also heading over there on Monday so we'll see.

Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Keep them non-controversial please.
[Networking] tnpapadakos:

[Networking] Tutsumi:
That's just you... Worked fine, another friend on an S2 worked fine. Check your settings or ask us a question via our inbox on our Facebook page.

GTalk works fine for me. Also, BTC doesn't use the ppinternet.btcbahamas.com info anymore.
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
it still works though..

and by using the gprs apn, i was able to get post paid download speeds on pre paid....booyah :laugh:

Gents, I have a friend over in the Bahamas that has BTC LIME prepaid. He bought an S3 off ebay but he bought a Verizon one. It is rooted and we installed APN pro with Titanium Backup Pro we did the APN settings but not sure we are getting it right. Please help if you can. Thank you!
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
is it a GSM? or a CDMA? BTC is a GSM network
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Do see this video that goes into detail about the network.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upBeLNDawHI
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
Tutsumi, Do you work for BTC?
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Mhmm...
[Networking] marcustaz:
The Verizon is supposed to have Global support with some GSM just not sure of frequency, Best we can get is edge and it is SLOW! so slow it is not really usable. :confused:
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
thats what i thought
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
you need a gsm phone with GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS1700/2100 (B4), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1)

thats why he's not getting anything above Edge
[Networking] Tutsumi:
It's global, but are you aware of the roaming rates? Seeing as it's Verizon, your phone itself (to work here) would need to have HSPA+ 850 MHz as a frequency.
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
that would be the UTMS850

but he already said he's got the pre-paid account on BTC so roaming is irrelevant

its his device, he doesnt have the proper bands...its a Verizon device, Verizon is CDMA primarily, so it wont have all the proper bands

i went through this problem with my girl's HTC Thunderbolt from Verizon...same issue onthat phone too

also I had the same issue with my GSM T-Mobile MyTouch 4G...it did not have the UTMS850, so all I could get was Edge...cant receive an FM station if your radio only has an AM band receiver, same kind of situation, just to make an analogy
[Networking] Tutsumi:
You do realize that UMTS is not HSPA+, correct? HSPA+ is backwards compatible to it, but UMTS is more like WCDMA. This is why people can search for UMTS and it will work here generally.

As for Verizon, they do have some HSPA+ devices that can work here. See: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/full#/phones/full/carrier/Verizon/?f[5][]=1224&f[5][]=1227&f[193][]=1231

Didn't see where he was saying he was using one of our SIMs.
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
Well I think the point is his phone will not get 4 G there. And I don't see how someone could be on BTC prepaid without a BTC SIM card. But thanks for the link that should help him
[Networking] marcustaz:
Yea no luck Verizon just s$cks.. They lock their radio and APN down so you can't use it. Anyway he sold the phone got an unlocked att and is in business. Thanks

That apn is not outdated and we use 850mhz for 3 and 4g and 1900mhz for gsm
[Networking] Tutsumi:
No, it's outdated. internet.btcbahamas.com is what everyone should be on.

As for 2G, we work on the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz frequencies.

4G is 850 MHz

And LTE is at least 700 MHz on the 17 band, with others likely to come in.
[Networking] daorderdillon:

Nah, look forward to it around Christmas time. Working hard to have it up and have good handsets that work well on it.

Can I use my Nexus 5 on BTC network

I recently purchased a Nexus 5 from a Tmobile retail store in the USA. I will be in the Bahamas this Xmas 2013. Will my nexus 5 work on BTC network> if so what type of service will i get 4g, 3g, 2g?. I know there are two versions of the Nexus 5 (D820 - for USA use , and D821- for international use). I'm not sure which one mine is but I'm guessing since I purchased it in the US its D820. Does this mean my phone will not work on BTC network? Also I'm hoping the phone is already unlocked. Im not sure how to tell if it is or not. Any advice on this would be helpful. If it cant work on BTC network I will return it and get another phone that will. Thanks in advance.
[Networking] daorderdillon:
Never buy phones from a carrier u r taking a chance
[Networking] bigdorkus:
I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Please share your experience
[Networking] Tutsumi:
I purchased a Nexus 5 directly from Google Play's store more so to test it. I also have the 820 version, and the frequency we'll be using here in the Bahamas is Band 17 so it should hopefully work.

I'll report once I've got my LTE SIM though.
[Networking] daorderdillon:
So we have to get a different SIM card for lte
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Yup, had to have a LTE SIM card.
[Networking] daorderdillon:
How much for SIM and is band 1700 the only one ?
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Should be the same price. And it's 700 MHz pretty much, band 17
[Networking] daorderdillon:
I'll wait for more bands
[Networking] Vernal007:
4g LTE

:o good to see some Bahamians on here.

From the looks of it so far with the post paid packages looks like 4g LTE will cost a lot more.. I'll be good with the H+ for now since i'm always around wifi
[Networking] daorderdillon:
Lol
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Hey Vernal, good to see you on here.

I've just tested LTE on my Nexus 5 and it seems to work for data. Again though, the network is still being tested with a few more people on it until the launch in Jan.
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Here's a test of the LTE speeds on my Nexus 5 out at the Nassau International Airport last Thursday night.
[Networking] gtcway:
I'm in the Bahamas as well. I guess this applies most places but what's the point of such high speeds on a mobile phone, then put such a low limit on downloads?

The only reason to have speeds this high is media, streaming, etc. Then if you actually use media for more than a few hours per month, you reach the limit.

I know that's how the provider makes money, but what can you do on a cell phone at 40Mbps that you can't do at 15-20Mbps? Most people in the Bahamas don't have 20Mbps on their home internet connection, where they are likely able to use such high speeds.

My home speed is 6Mbps and I have no problem running netflix on a roku, while my wife is on youtube and my son on skype. But somehow, people think 40Mbps is needed on a phone?

I'd rather have lower speeds with much higher data limits.
[Networking] Tutsumi:
You think so? Faster speeds means it's easier to share the data pool with others and not get bogged down as well. Faster speeds means I can load up that website or upload that picture before I move from outside to an inside WiFi and possibly have it fail. Faster speeds means I can download that document I forgot but need to show a client without having to say, "One moment please, I need to download this file." Faster speeds pave a way to share mobile data with persons without being bogged down since someone might be using a bit more.

A lot of people feel the exact opposite of how you're viewing it. If you want higher limits though, check out PostPaid instead since that has 3 GB, 5 GB and 15 GB packages.
[Networking] daorderdillon:
Is the lte up as yet
[Networking] Tutsumi:
It's been up. Customers have been using it from last week. All we require is that you have an LTE device (that works on our network), and an LTE data package to get the LTE SIM card.
[Networking] gtcway:
What you're saying makes sense, but I think there are much more that agree with me than you. The constant complaints I hear from people are about ridiculously low data limits not download speeds.

Personally, most places I go I have access to wifi so my 1gb lasts a month. But only because I'm very anal about watching my data use.

Also not interested in spending $150 or more a month for a cell phone.

Maybe some competition will get prices where they should be.
[Networking] daorderdillon:
Take it easy on my boy man:eek:
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Lol, it's fine, dillon. gtcway, fair enough. Let's take a look at your points.

People are complaining about ridiculously low data limits

For starters, we've always offered very competitive amounts of data for very competitive prices when you look at our per capita and ration it out with other countries. The next point is this: Before we placed on the caps - the main complaint was speed. Now that customers are moving onto the LTE network, it's freeing up a lot of the HSPA+ network. I just had a customer yesterday on PrePaid who was getting consistent speeds of 5 Mbps all over Nassau. Might be a one off, but hey.

So, +1 for improving speeds.

Limits, well most persons aren't actually hitting their limits. Yes, people may complain but those are the minority at this point to be honest. And minorities tend to be the loudest. That said, they aren't overlooked. So how do we provide bigger caps?

We increased PrePaid to now 2 GB for the same price as the old 1 GB and put 1 GB on for $20. That's already an extra GB.

Still going over? PostPaid is suggested. You mentioned a $150 bill for a phone. For a phone you're wanting higher speed caps on. That means it's more than just a phone. That means it might make sense to go for a package as low as $19.99 a month and get a 5 GB package for $40 more - a total of $60 pretty much. That's what? 2 1/2 more than PrePaid gets, plus you have minutes and texts? Hell, make it cheaper and go Pay Per Use for calls and texts and just use the $40 for data. You'd probably spend more on calls and texts than the $19.99 package but hey.

Bahamians have to get over this fear of a bill. It's not as much as you make it out to be, and if you're anal about things anyway then there's REALLY no worry about this.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

Personally though, I use about 1-2 GB a month myself. Sometimes 3 or 4 when I work events and need to post videos and pictures as they happen. Most of the time though? I stay under 2 GB. It just seems like a smart move for me, and if I need to switch back to 1 GB or 3 GB, then by all means.
[Networking] gtcway:
Sounds like you work for BTC?

Yes, BTC has better plans lately. I did recently sign up for postpaid. Was waiting for them to allow you to switch and keep you number, but it looks like it will never happen.
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Mhmm. That's why I intentionally put their logo as my avatar. No one seems to notice it though....

Mobile number portability is coming this year, don't worry about that so much. Glad you made the switch though.:good:
[Networking] gtcway:
Thought maybe you put the logo there because you really like BTC? :)

Quick question, if you don't mind. Since I have postpaid now, is it worth it to put a sim lock on my sim card? Don't want to lose my phone and have someone run up hundreds of dollars of calls.

Is it as simple as activating the sim lock in settings on an android phone?

Don't want to do something to screw up the sim card and have to get another one.
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Lol, nah.

Honestly, you don't find a lot of people doing SIM locks anymore like that - but if you feel the extra security is warranted that's more power to you. Also, you're correct about where it is. If you mess up, just make sure you have a valid ID on your account so we can verify you and give you an unlock code.

Any suggestions Btc guy?
[Networking] daorderdillon:

[Networking] Mastershake242:
Apparently Btc loves football. I was getting almost 9mbps down last night. Tested In skyline drive and a buddies s4 active in village road.
[Networking] Tutsumi:
Modem configs don't really help much in my own testings. The only things that made any difference was on the phone itself such as ROM and kernel.

As for the speeds, well those are in heavily congested areas to be honest. While we're working to improve service in areas like that, it'll take some time. I think a press notice was sent out today about us putting up some new towers and improving capacity as well. I think I mentioned it before but we even had someone getting like 9 Mbps on PrePaid (non-LTE) here in Nassau as well so it all varies.
[Networking] tnpapadakos:

Hey, I've got an HTC One m7. Got the LTE sim and for a while I was a true believer. Speeds so fast i thought i was on wifi. I have a 3gb post paid plan so i was beatin youtube and wats app bad, even could have used hotspot without problems.

Then two weeks ago when the BTC network crashed my phone went down to. Only problem......it neder came back up. I visited both stores in the southwest plaza, and the mall, called, went on facebook, twitter, everything!!! Even got my sim changed. But no LTE. Im lucky to get 3g in most places.

Anyone having the same problem? More importantly, anyone SOLVED the problem?

This driving me crazy man. I been here all week trollin the internet, updating firmware, installing custom roms, all to get that LTE back.
[Networking] daorderdillon:
Don't brick your phone because of btc it's probably their network that has the problem. I see u have came over to the HTC devices I have a butterfly S and this weekend I will have the HTC M8

Believe me the phone itself is unbeliveable. After the M7 i dont think i can even look at iphone or samsung the same again. I have cutom rom Android Revoulution HD and that just doubles the features.

Almost did brick it last night though. Trying to update the modem firmware hoping that would help and ended up not getting signal for an hour. This LTE gat me like a junkie needing his fix bui.

Oh and i sent you that pm Tutsumi

[Networking] Mastershake242:
It does sometimes pay to do a little tinkering. Definitely with custom ROMs and sometimes with modems. A buddy of mine had his s3 show some great speeds back in the day. If there were 3 of them in the room his would always be the fastest.

As far as bricking goes just always remember to have a full backup.

[Networking] islandhopper700:
Ah....i was hopeing to avoid making this point but since you brought it up. BTC has been charging me some random bill called GPRS for FOUR MONTHS now!!!! My bill's that high because every month i go in to complain and yall tell me to wait until the next bill and itll be fixed.

And just so there's no confusion: my bill as of April is over $1,100.......WTF?? January GPRS = 577.00, Feburary GPRS = $476, March GPRS = $267. Keep in mind that my actual bill is $55 per month. They keep telling me its a glitch at both stores and i dont have to pay it, but they dont want to fix it.

Just been at southwest plaza yeaterday again and spoke to one of the ladies on the showroom floor. Same promises. Same result. Every month i have to deduct the GPRS bill and pay my balance. You can check....ill wait:D

Maybe you can fix that too Tutsumi. Wont hold my breath though.

Oh and i posted on the BTC apology letter then went on the facebook help chat thing.:cool:
