BTC Cell Phone SIM Card Update

Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) is now updating their information for all accounts on file with existing cellular phone users, and requiring existing users to sign a new terms and conditions agreement.  If you just purchased a SIM card from whoever had them for sale, they will no longer work until you visit the BTC office and register the account.  

In order to purchase a new SIM card for BTC you must now show photo identification.  So on entering the Bahamas your phone might not work until you visit their office with the ID and if you have been putting money on your account to keep your number active you will still have to go into a BTC office before your phone will work after December 1, 2012. This applies to data SIM cards also.  Here are links to the new terms and conditions and the application for prepaid service pages.
