Cellular Telephones With Connection Problems

If you don't hear your cellular phone ringing, don't rush to the doctor. If you friends and family complain that you never your cell phone or are avoiding their call, blame it all on the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE).

Adolfo Arias, director de la División de Servicios at ICE, says the problem can be caused by expansion work of the cellular network that the institution is currently undergoing.

Arias explained that as part of the work, ICE is installing more computers and software, which often means a restarting of the system and it affects service.

"It should not occur, but as the network increases and adjustments are made, customers could be disconnected from time to time", said Arias.

The ICE officials suggests calling 193 to report any problems with service, allowing ICE technicians to check equipment in the area of the problem.

More important, cellular telephone customers have to be aware that work on the network is being carried out between 7pm and 11pm and service could be cut in some areas for up to 30 minutes at a time.

Arias said all maintenance work should be completed by June 18.

Following is an ICE list of areas affected:

Today: Desmonte, San Mateo, Cerro Gallo, San Pedro de Poás, Santiago de San Ramón, Atenas, Sarchí, Carrillo, Palmares y Grecia.

Saturday (May 20): Puriscal, Guayabo de Mora, Grifo Alto, San Pablo, San Pedro de Turrubares, Carmen (Alajuela), Orotina, Barranca y La Ceiba.

Tuesday (June 2): San Ignacio de Acosta, La Lucha, El Tejar del Guarco, San Marcos de Tarrazú, Guadalupe (Cartago), Tobosi, San Blas, Cartago centro.

Thursday (June 4): Cerro de la Muerte, Pitahaya (Cartago), Oreamuno, Caballo Blanco, La Lima, Calle Fallas y San Antonio de Desamparados.
