CCT BVI

What CCT BVI does

CCT BVI (legal name Caribbean Cellular Telephone Ltd) is a 100% locally owned telecommunications provider headquartered in the British Virgin Islands, founded in 1986 as CCT Boatphone. The company offers a unified portfolio of mobile, internet, and TV services to residential and business customers across the BVI, including Tortola and Virgin Gorda. Its mobile products span Freedom postpaid plans ($129-$179 single-line), Family Plans with up to 4 lines ($199-$299), prepaid bundles, and Hero Bundle add-ons; its fixed-line products include FIYAH Fiber Internet (up to 900 Mbps download / 300 Mbps upload) and GoFastLTE plug-and-play wireless broadband. TV is delivered via CCT Live IPTV (Bronze/Silver/Gold tiers of 21-45 channels) over set-top box and mobile app. The company operates a proprietary wireless, data-driven network across 2G (retiring), 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G, having launched BVI's first 5G network in October 2025.

The business model is subscription-recurring across mobile, fiber, broadband, and IPTV plans, augmented by hardware sales (smartphones, Mi-Fi devices, modems), prepaid top-ups, and AutoPay discounts. Distribution is omnichannel: four physical retail locations (flagship Tortola store, Tortola Pier Park store, Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour store, Road Town business office), an online self-serve portal at myaccount.cctbvi.com, a Monday-Saturday call centre, iOS and Android apps, and community-driven acquisition (Refer and Earn $25 credit, brand ambassadors, sponsorships, Facebook Live weekly draws). Payments are processed via Evertec's PCI DSS Level 1-compliant PlacetoPay gateway.

The company became 100% locally owned with over 1,000 local shareholders on April 21, 2013, a structural first for the Caribbean. Management comprises CEO Averad Penn, CTO Kyle Dasent, COO Rekeema Turnbull-Caines, Marketing and Media Manager Birch Lettsome, and Retail Services Manager Jamalie Thomas. The company maintains active community programs including an annual commitment exceeding $15,000 to Willard Wheatley Primary School under the Virgin Islands Adopt-A-School Programme, and was recognized as an Education System Supporter by the BVI Ministry of Education in 2025.

Direct peers
