LIME Montserrat, which was rebranded as Flow Montserrat in 2015, is the incumbent telecommunications provider in Montserrat. Here are some key points about the LIME Montserrat mobile network:
Frequency Bands: LIME Montserrat uses 1 GSM band.
Services: The network offers a range of services including international and domestic voice telephone services, data/IP services such as ADSL, Frame, or ISDN, and mobile/wireless services including 3G and 4G across smartphone platforms like Samsung and Apple.
Parent Company: LIME was owned by Cable & Wireless Communications, which later merged with Columbus Communications and rebranded the consumer-facing business as Flow in 2015.
Competitors: The primary competitor in the region is Digicel, which lacks sufficient fixed line voice and data capability, making the merged entity a monopoly in these services.
Customer Perception: The rebranding from LIME to Flow was partly due to customer perception issues with LIME, with Flow being perceived as offering better customer service and a more positive experience.
Historical Context: LIME was a significant player in the Caribbean telecommunications market, operating in multiple islands and offering a range of services including satellite-based communications and television services.
Regulatory Approval: The merger between Cable & Wireless Communications and Columbus Communications required regulatory approval from various markets, including Jamaica, where it was greenlit.
Apple Partnership: LIME was the only authorized carrier licensed by Apple to sell iPhones under contract in the English-speaking Caribbean, a status obtained in 2011 after Claro's exit from the Jamaican market.
