BTC wrote on their Facebook site that BTC likes WhatsApp. “They are our friends. We won’t be charging anyone to chat using WhatsApp.” Cable & Wireless (C&W) and WhatsApp have a strategic marketing partnership giving BTC access to the full range of WhatsApp features. John Reid, C&W consumer group president said, “This partnership with WhatsApp will improve ease and convenience of communication technology, enrich our customers’ experience, and is therefore consistent with our mission – “Connecting Communities… and Transforming Lives.” Given that BTC is the only commercial mobile operator in The Bahamas, this new partnership does not change the way it treats or charges for WhatsApp, its business as usual. Customers will still require an active mobile data plan to allow them the connectivity needed to use WhatsApp. BTC customers will still require a working internet connection to access WhatsApp either by subscribing to a mobile data plan, or by accessing a WIFI connection. However, any new mobile operator providing cellular service in The Bahamas will not be able to provide the same type of WhatsApp service and benefits to its customers since BTC will be the only operator to exclusively provide this service. The partnership continues the unrestricted access to WhatsApp for BTC customers. However in the near future, as a result of this partnership and as the suite of products and services evolve, BTC will be developing and offering customers new and different types of WhatsApp data packages that give customers even better value.
