3G
Is Coming To Costa Rica In December!
The Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad
(ICE) said it will begin selling 3G cellular
lines in the second week in December and
away from its traditional practice, there
will be no need to register before going to
an ICE agency to get connected.
The announcement was made by Adolfo Arías,
director of ICE's División de Servicios.
To get the most out of the 3G service, a
user has to have a 3G phone.
Retailers in Costa Rica are readying their
stock of 3G phones to be connected to the
950.000 lines ICE will be making available.
A 3G phone is basically very similar to a
GSM phone, using the same bands for
transmission. Where it differs is in its
ability to transmit large volumes of data
and at high speed, which allows the sending
and receiving of video files, video chat,
photos and music, among many other features.
3G phones also include WiFi allowing
connection to the internet and use "Windows
Office" tools, as well as being great
entertainment devices to play music, watch
video, high resolution cameras for photos
and videos and play video games.
