ICE Sets Cut Off Date
For Customers To
Activate New Line
The Instituto
Costarricense de
Electricidad (ICE) has
set the date of February
10 as the deadline for
customers who have
reserved a new GSM
cellular line but have
yet to get connected.
ICE warns that on
February 10, at 8:00pm,
all reserved lines that
have not been activated
will be offered for sale
on a first come first
served basis.
Orlando Cascante,
director of Servicios
Móviles del ICE, said
that 70.000 of the
300.000 lines are still
not activated. Cascante
added that many of the
customers who did not
connect were waiting for
ICE to offer pre-paid
SIM chips.
ICE is still studying
the concept of pre-paid
SIM chips and may be
ready to offer the
service in some months,
though there is no
definite date set.
