General Information

 

On the 25th of January 2000, APUA launched its new mobile digital GSM service, called APUA PCS , offering high voice quality and island-wide coverage with the latest available features on the market today. APUA PCS (Personal Communications Services) has become the number one cellular provider in Antigua and Barbuda in a very short period of time with well over 13,000 customers (February 2001).

APUA PCS is the only mobile operator that offers cellular service in both Antigua and Barbuda. Good coverage is also available in quite a few areas out at sea for those tourists interested in boating activities around Antigua and Barbuda. To give an example, our fishermen have made mobile calls 16 miles northwest of Barbuda.

 

Facts:

APUA PCS is the only cellular company in Antigua and Barbuda that offers a totally digital network. We do not have any analogue handsets in our network, every handset is digital, thereby offering our customers high quality voice calls, at all times.

APUA PCS is the first GSM service in the entire English speaking Caribbean.

APUA PCS has more cellular sites than any other cellular provider in Antigua, and hence, we provide our customers with better coverage.

APUA PCS is more affordable than other cellular providers in Antigua as we offer ALL INCOMING CALLS FREE.
