Introduction
Here is a simpler analysis of post paid plans between TSTT/bmobile and Digicel instead of the confusing, long “independent” reports on bmobile’s site.
Update (August 2006) : Digicel’s postpaid packages now includes calls to bmobile
Current post-paid plans (as of May 2006)
- Digicel’s postpaid packages comes with pre bundled minutes which can be used to call Digicel, fixed lines ONLY. A call to bmobile costs $1.22/$1.40 (no VAT/with VAT). Checking voicemail does NOT use your pre-bundled minutes.
- bmobile’s postpaid packages comes with pre bundled minutes which can be used to call Digicel, fixed and bmobile lines. Checking voicemail DOES use your pre-bundled minutes.

| Digicel Postpaid 120 | $82.61 | $95 | 120 | 0.69 | 0.79 | 50 |
| Digicel Postpaid 240 | $160.87 | $185 | 240 | 0.67 | 0.77 | 75 |
| Digicel Postpaid 360 | $221.74 | $255 | 360 | 0.62 | 0.71 | 100 |
| bmobile basic | $75.00 | $86.25 | 100 | 0.75 | 0.86 | 30 |
| bmobile bonus | $140.00 | $161 | 200 | 0.70 | 0.80 | 30 |
| bmobile beyond | $260.00 | $299 | 400 | 0.65 | 0.75 | 30 |
Observations as of May 2006
- Digicel is cheaper if you’re only calling other Digicel phones and fixed lines.
- Digicel is not cheaper if you call many bmobile customers. If your call pattern is to call a bmobile customer for long periods of time (e.g your friend, family member, relative or significant other), it would be cheaper to get a Digicel cell for that bmobile user.
