Choice Wireless® Announces Expansion Across the Territory

Frederiksted will be the home of the fifth and newest Choice Wireless retail center in a continued expansion of 3G cell phone and 4G High-speed Internet services for the Virgin Islands. According to Tony Shepherd, CEO/general manager of Choice Communications LLC, “The steady increase in phone activations and Internet service warrants a new customer service center on St. Croix’s west end.”
Opening at the Sunshine Mall in August, the 1,700 sq. ft. retail space will be conveniently located for St. Croix’s west end population, while Peter’s Rest will continue to provide a central location for mid island and the east end.
Choice Wireless is continuing to expand its 4G broadband network to increase coverage and network capacity for thousands waiting for service and to boost speeds for current customers. “Our multi-million dollar network investment will enhance and extend the islands’ only 4G network with 15 more cell site towers between St. Thomas and St. Croix by the end of the year,” said Shepherd. The company has approval to start building on multiple sites in the next 30 days and will continue adding sites through the end of the year. “We are ramping up our facilities and our staff to be ready to serve these new customers,” he said.
A new cell site tower in Susannaberg, St John, has expanded Internet and cell phone service to nearly 400 people. Choice Wireless also plans to enhance signal coverage in Coral Bay toward the end of 2011.
The telecommunications company provides low cost, no-contract monthly plans, a variety of cell phones including AndroidsTM, 4G fast Internet, and 3G wireless mobile Internet for homes, offices and on the go. The new Sunshine Mall store will join other Choice Wireless retail locations including Havensight and Nisky Center on St. Thomas, and Market Place on St. John.
