    Default Why no HTC, Nexus or Motorola?

    Hey folks. Just wondering why Digicel or even Lime doesn't sell top name smartphone brands aside from the Samsung Galaxy to broaden their range. There's no HTC, Nexus or Motorola.

    They have nokia lumias so your points kinda don't make sense... Their phones are pricey anyway so why not buy from local people who sell phones like wiggy hv etc

    What Digicel sell cheap the Samsung phones? Cause only Android phone they might have cheap is the idiot S Pop type phones they make...

    If you can get someone to take down the phone then you won't have to pay such duties.

    But digicel as a business has to pay tariffs, so when you factor that cost into the equation you'll realise their prices aren't as exhorbitant as you think

    That's rubbish, they make BILLIONS from their network alone, they could EASILY sell their phones for lower cost especially to their loyal postpaid customers like me, I've complained to them time and time again (in all honesty they did offer me a 50% discount which I didn't bother take) or some plans that wouldn't end up costing over 100k for a phone that sells for 50k from local people who bring down phones

    Agree with Jomo. My sister used to be no their prepaid plan and stopped using it after a while as she relaised she was being charged way more than if she would be off their plan.

    Also, Digicel can more than introduce the contract thing foreign phone companies use where you buy the phone at half the price it's worth and it's yours after a set period or until you decide to terminate it.

    But no they will forever rob the third world countries (especially hype and in style JA), because they can -_-.
