James Boatswain representing his wife and Stephen Mendes are the final customers to join the ranks of LIME Lifetime winners, following the Christmas promotion . They both received their winnings at the LIME business quarters in Sweeney’s on Friday, January 13, 2012, the same day LIME launched the availability of the Apple iPhone 4S.
“I am very grateful for this timely gift. I have been a customer of Cable & wireless for a long time. I am very honoured to receive this gift and I am also encouraged that Cable and Wireless is doing such a good job in Montserrat and they are actually looking out for their customers and with the advancement of technologies they are trying to stay in pace with,” said Mendes.
Meanwhile Boatswain speaking for his wife said: “I am very happy we have been given the opportunity to receive for a lifetime this package of internet, landline and mobile (services). I am looking forward for new developments in telecommunication and hope I will live to be a part of whatever new development comes in the near future.”
Previous winners of these unique lifetime gifts were: Yvette Lee, Steve Ryan, Elsa Morgan and Edith Duberry. Lee was the winner of a Lifetime of Mobile service, Ryan received a Lifetime of Broadband service, with Morgan winning a Lifetime of fixed line service and Edith Duberry, a Lifetime of broadband service.
Along with the day’s two winners were two iPhone customers, Messrs. Diege Daley and Paul Payne, who were invited to talk a bit about their iPhone experience, while LIME following its first-to-market introduction of the iPhone 4, last summer, as a full-service telco provider is continuing its exclusive Apple deal with introduction of the most amazing iPhone yet.
The iPhone 4S is an intelligent assistant which sends text messages by voice command, lifelike photographs and video footage that’s editable on the phone. These are just some of the great breakthrough features of experience which telecoms Company, LIME is now offering in Montserrat and all its markets in the region as of today.
Country Manager Joseph Cassell echoed LIME’s CEO David Shaw highlighting the benefits of this phone to its customers, saying the iPhone 4S will again change the way people communicate.”
“This is another first from LIME. Bringing world class technology is our way of building communities and families in the Caribbean. The iPhone 4S is best in class, innovative and the ultimate ‘every-thing device’ that will change the way we access and share information. It shows what advanced technology looks and feels like and that’s what our customers expect of us. We’re very proud to partner with Apple to make this happen for the Caribbean,” Shaw said.
“We definitely promised customers the most advance technologies across the board and this is just another one of those specific items of technology that Lime is bringing to the table and this is through our partnership with Apple. We are definitely bringing the cutting edge here in Montserrat,” Cassell told the press.
The device was described as an intelligent assistant which sends text messages by voice command, lifelike photographs and video footage that’s editable on the phone.
IPhone Customers in Montserrat may not be able to enjoy the full capabilities of the device just yet. Cassell said the mobile data network is not going to give customers what they called the bang for the buck because right now LIME has what is called a GPRS base.
“We have just actually migrated to EDGE but we still have ways to go in relation to the speed so I wouldn’t want to set any high expectation here that one can basically be out and about streaming movies or any content they may have taken at that point in time, that is really when you have a high speed mobile data network which we are still in the process of transitioning to,” the manager explained.
The iPhone 4S packed with incredible new features, including Apple’s dual-core A5 chip for blazing fast performance and stunning graphics, will available in three models – the 16GB, the 32GB and the 64GB.
Other features of this masterful device include an all new camera with advanced optics and full 1080p HD resolution video recording; iPhone 4S comes with iOS 5, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features; and iCloud, a breakthrough set of free cloud services that work with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC to automatically and wirelessly store your content in iCloud and push it to all your devices.
