60.000 GSM Cellular
Lines Sale Began Monday
The Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad
(ICE) yesterday began selling off 60.000 GSM
cellular telephone lines. However, only
those with reservations between 9035780 and
9103471 can connect.
ICE says it expects some 12.000 new
connections daily across the country, as all
agencies are working at full capacity to
meet the demand.
The 60.000 is part of the 300.000 GSM
cellular lines recently acquired by ICE,
bringing the total number of cellular lines
int he country to 1,840,000.
That figure does not include the expected
900.000 new lines of the third generation,
3G, that ICE is to make available by the end
of this year or early next.
To connect to the cellular network, in
addition to having a reservation, you need
to provide an original receipt for the
purchase of the cellular telephone, a copy a
utility bill, a cedula (national or
residency), pay the ˘12.500 colones deposit
and not have any outstanding debt with ICE.
But, hurry, there is a time limit on the
reservations - May 8 - after which time the
remaining unsold lines will be available to
the general public on a first come first
served basis. |
