Why not tell us some specifics like the actual coverage area in Costa Rica. The upload and download speeds. The price both for any equipment that is required and any monthly, and per minute charges. You are selling a high tech product and don't have a website?

Can we go and see this in operation today?

Comment #2 Hugo (200.91.77.43) -

please feel free to contact me at the above number for specifics on the equipment needed as it is different for each aplication. The upload and download speeds depend on your equipment and signal stength but are generaly better than dial up. As stated above there is no monthly or per minute line charge. Coverage areas are good in Costa Rica. I can provide to you a demonstration at any time.

Why is it so hard to give us any solid information here. We are sick of slick sales pitches for stuff that doesn't exist yet. Tell us the price range (equipment, installation, monthy, per minute). If it is in range people will be busting down the door to get ahold of you -- and they will be extremely pissed off it the specs, prices and availability aren't as advertised (ie: video conferencing). If the specs are poor or the price high or it isn't really available, no one will bother you.

Why not accounce a public demonstration where we can go and see? No one has any desire to talk to a salesman on the telephone.

curious: you sound pissed off already? please don't bother to call!

Is this what you are offering? See quote below from the website.

Are you offering a 171.2 kbps internet channel which is shared among all the users of the GSM network? ie: once you have 100 active customers will the effective bandwidth be 1.712 kbps per user?

Why all the secrecy about the specifics of your offering? What type of interface is used? USB? Ethernet/Red? Serial? Can you post some traceroutes and speed tests? I like speed-test.net

Are the VOIP ports or services blocked like many "providers" in Costa Rica do?

From this mobile internet website:

"GPRS speed 171.2 kbps

While GSM offers a speed of maximum 14 kbps, that is 1/4 of the connection speed currently been provided by dialups, GPRS offers a connection speed that is literary three times your dial-up speeds or 171.2 kbps. Such high speeds though are unlikely to be seen, as networks would share the available bandwidth between multiple users. As earlier stated, GPRS can be used in an existing GSM network in order to communicate with any other application or network that uses packet switching."

Comment #7 Margie Frederickson (64.12.112.1) -

You mention no line or mothly fees. This article on Mobile Internet with GPRS says:

"With GPRS, users will only pay for the amount of data they actually communicate. In fact, users can be virtually connected to the network all the time without incurring any charges, which is very beneficial."

Being connected for free is just dandy. But, if you start downloading music, or using video conferencing, what will the cost the the large quantities of data those services transfer be?

This is a better google search which gets to the meat of what ICE offers in Costa Rica. Most of the pages are in spanish, but you can click on the translate button to see them in english. The other google link I entered is good for specifics about Cellular Internet in general.

I have the perfect phone, an unlocked iMate Jam, which I use with t-mobile in US and Europe.

Can I get a cheapo phone in CR, then switch the sim chip to my jam to get phone and gprs connections?

thanks,

bob

Hi people,

Do you want to earn $50? Please help me to do a survey for my school project. It takes just 2-3 minutes to complete the survey (or shall i say, to earn $50 =D) and you can do it anytime over the next few days. To be able to participate, you must have used mobile internet service at least once previously. The research is funded by National University of Singapore

The url is at:

http://soccf-ct-009.ddns.comp.nus.edu.sg/iscontinuance/continuance.htm

Note: Mobile Internet services include Mobile email,

stocks update, movie ticket purchase, Yahoo! Chat, ringtones and games, download, traffic and stocks update, weather and flight information, tickets purchase and reservation and e-banking among others.

So if, for e.g, you have downloaded one game on your mobile phone, or use your mobile phone to purchase movie ticket at least once and so on,

you are eligible to participate in the survey and earn $50 =D

Thanks a lot. Each and every of your help counts towards helping my HYP project.

Will my Sprint cell phone from the U.S. work in Costa Rica?

Comment #19 Del (208.155.195.121) -

Don't count on it, and if so, don't count on it being affordable.

Costa Rica is NOT a tech friendly place. One phone company. One cellular company. For all practical purposes, one ISP.

Comment #20 Fred (208.155.5.24) -

And, those CAFTA naysayers who don't want it are going to keep Costa Rica in the technological DARK AGES!

Comment #21 Steve (65.84.73.67) -

Using an international cell phone in Costa Rica is looking pretty expensive. I bought a GSM 4-band Motorola Razor and thought I'd be set, but found out Cingular roaming charges are $1.99 in CC.

Any options?

Comment #24 Geek from Escazu, Costa Rica -

I believe the days of the free cellular internet are over in Costa Rica.

Here's the link to ICE the electric, phone and internet company (govt agency). See if you can figure out what they offer and the price.

They Flash or other idiot plugins so I didn't bother going too deep into that mess (ie: I don't load that rubbish on my computer).
