Barbados Conference Call Features

One strategy for businesses and individuals in Barbados is to use
our international conference calling service to host and participate in group calls with others around the world.
While it is possible to use a phone system with conferencing capabilities to speak with a group of individuals,
conference calls with participants in other nations become problematic.
By using our international conferencing
service in Barbados, you can avoid these problems
It doesn't matter if you are located in Barbados or have participants located
there. Using our international conference call service gives you access to low international conferencing rates
as well as routing participants over a high quality telecommunications network so that connection issues are no
longer a problem.

Telecommunications in Barbados
Barbados is a small island nation in the Lesser Antilles. Measuring roughly 20
miles in length by 14 miles in width, Barbados is about 167 square miles. Barbados was first settled by the British
in the early 1600s and gained independence in 1966. Up until the 1990s, the economy centered on sugar, molasses,
and rum production. Today, tourism and manufacturing are the largest industries in Barbados.
Barbados is considered one of the World Bank's 76 "high-income economies." In terms of GDP per capita,
Barbados is also considered the 53rd richest countries in the world.
As of July 2014 estimates, Barbados has a population of 289,680. The official language of Barbados is English.
The CIA World Factbook reveals that Barbados had 144,000 main lines in use in 2012 for a fixed phone line teledensity
of about 50 main phones for every 100 people. As with many countries, a larger percentage of the population uses
mobile cellular phones. In 2012, about 347,000 mobile cellular phones were in use for a mobile phone teledensity
of about 125 mobile phones for every 100 people.
Barbados is served by an island-wide automatic telephone system. Barbados is a landing point for the ECFS (East
Caribbean Fiber System) which connects to other islands in the region. It is also home to one satellite earth station
and uses tropospheric scatter to Saint Lucia and Trinidad.
Cable & Wireless (LIME) holds a monopoly on the fixed line market, but the mobile market has some competition.
The two main wireless telephone providers are Digicel and Cable & Wireless.
In addition, a relatively new entrant in the Barbados telecommunications market, Columbus Communications, offers
bundled cable television, Internet, and digital telephone services.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and UNICEF consider Barbados "one of the most wired countries"
in the world (per capita) with an estimated Internet usage rate of about 55 users for every 100 people. ASDL, frame
relay, and high speed wireless Internet service are readily available from leading providers such as Telebarbados,
Sunbeach Communications, CariAccess, CaribSurf, WiNet, TeleBarbados/Freemotion.bb, and Cable & Wireless.
Telecommunications Challenges in Barbados
Though Barbados has a long history as being the region's telecommunications
leader (Barbados played a key role in telegraph communications in the 1800s) and a strong mobile subscriber base,
challenges exist.
Poor quality of service is a common complaint. In fact, a senior member of the House Assembly and former Attorney
General, Dale Marshall was quoted in Barbados Today as saying, "I hate to say it, but the mobile telephone
service in Barbados sucks.
You can hardly make a telephone call on a mobile phone except you wait sometimes ten or 15 seconds to connect with
the other person. You can hardly make a mobile phone call without dropouts…"
With just one fixed line provider and two wireless carriers, competition for subscribers is minimal with no incentive
to improve quality of service. With Columbus Communications now in the mix, costs are expected to come down and
service improve.
