Bmo­bile has an­nounced that it is mak­ing it eas­i­er for cus­tomers to ac­cess ac­cu­rate in­for­ma­tion

and the lat­est news on COVID-19.

Ef­fec­tive March 15, the provider has ze­ro-rat­ed web­sites of the fol­low­ing or­gan­i­sa­tions, mak­ing it pos­si­ble for all bmo­bile cus­tomers to vis­it the sites at no charge:

World Health Or­gan­i­sa­tion (WHO)

Caribbean Pub­lic Health Agency (CARPHA)

Pan Amer­i­can Health Or­ga­ni­za­tion (PA­HO)

Min­istry of Health TT (MOH)

Min­istry of Com­mu­ni­ca­tions

Of­fice of Dis­as­ter Pre­pared­ness and Man­age­ment (ODPM)

Bmo­bile is as­sur­ing cus­tomers that the web­sites can be ac­cessed from any mo­bile in­ter­net com­pat­i­ble de­vice for free and with­out fear of de­plet­ing ex­ist­ing da­ta bun­dles.

It says that if, how­ev­er, cus­tomers are redi­rect­ed to an­oth­er web­site not in­clud­ed in the ze­ro-rat­ed list, charges may be in­curred.

“bmo­bile rec­og­nizes that a crit­i­cal part of tak­ing the nec­es­sary pre­cau­tions to pro­tect against the virus en­tails hav­ing ac­cu­rate, ver­i­fi­able in­for­ma­tion eas­i­ly avail­able. As the in­dige­nous provider, deeply in­vest­ed in Trinidad and To­ba­go and bridg­ing the dig­i­tal di­vide, bmo­bile re­mains com­mit­ted to do­ing its part to pro­vide sup­port when need­ed the most,” the state­ment said.
