Launched recently, Paradise Mobile's network is built on the simple promise of 'fast, reliable mobile that just works'. In addition to setting new standards in convenience for subscribers, Paradise Mobile intends to introduce the network speeds and capacity necessary to attract hi-tech enterprises to Bermuda.
