Bahamas SIM Card Changes

There has been a change in the plan for the SIM card for the aircard or Blackberry.  The promotion (introductory offer to get people to put data capability on their Blackberry) which gave the first 2 months for $50.00 and the following months for $40.00/mo is over.  This promotion did not require an annual contract and was actually for Blackberries only, even though some people got the SIM installed in an aircard for a few months.  BTC treated it as a prepaid card, so as long as one had money in a SIM card account; Batelco just deducted the cost monthly.  Now, there are no prepaid Data SIM cards.   Everything going forward will be annual contracts.
