Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry pricing of BSD 5 a month on the prepaid starter plan keeps a light-use line among the cheapest starting points here.
- The unlimited prepaid plan runs at BSD 45 a month, so heavy users get a clearly priced tier with uncapped data.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all open without a second provider.
- Fibre to the premises with downloads of 1,000 Mbps, and Smart Wifi Device included included in the broadband package.
- Sim only deals are available, so a compatible handset you already own can be used with the line.
Cons
- Europe roaming is paid, so travel abroad sits outside the monthly price and adds a separate charge.
- The service runs in BS only, so a line and its fibre package work only inside that market.
- Plan terms run for 1 and 24 months, so anyone taking the longer option ties money up for a good stretch.
- The unlimited prepaid tier at BSD 45 a month costs several times the entry price of BSD 5, so the budget line and the heavy-user line are different products.
Who it suits
- Households in The Bahamas that want a mobile line and home fibre from one operator, since ALIV sells as a network rather than through a reseller.
- Light users who want a prepaid line without a long term attached: the entry prepaid plan starts at BSD 5 a month.
- Home users inside the fibre footprint who want downloads of 1,000 Mbps and a smart wifi device in the box.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who expect Europe roaming to come with the line, since ALIV sets paid roaming, so yesss! is the listed alternative to weigh on that point.
- Shoppers who want billing confined to prepaid and contract, since GETESA lists prepaid and contract terms while this provider also offers a rolling option under prepaid, rolling and contract.
- People set on prepaid or contract billing only, since Lonestar Cell MTN bills on contract and prepaid and leaves out the rolling option.
Pricing
ALIV's mobile pricing splits into a light prepaid line and an unlimited tier. The entry prepaid plan is the way in at BSD 5 a month, carrying a small data allowance for anyone who texts, maps and browses more than they stream. When usage climbs, the unlimited prepaid plan lifts the cap at BSD 45 a month, and that is the figure most heavy users will read first. Read the two together and the spread is clear: the starter line is cheap by design and renews at the same low figure, while the unlimited line costs several times more because usage on it is uncapped.
Who runs it
ALIV is operated by Cable Bahamas Group Ltd, the legal entity named on its terms. The same company sells the mobile plans and the home fibre, so the line, the broadband and the bill all arrive from one operator. Support is run across email, chat and phone, which means a quick billing question can go to chat while something more involved moves to phone or email, without handing yourself to an outside company. For anyone weighing a mobile line against a fibre package, that single point of contact is worth checking before you pick.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the cheapest ALIV mobile plan cost?+
The entry price is BSD 5 a month on the prepaid starter plan, which carries a small data allowance for light use. Heavier users look at the unlimited prepaid plan, which lifts the cap at BSD 45 a month for usage without a limit to track.
Do I have to sign a long contract to get an ALIV SIM?+
A long term is not required for the prepaid lines. The entry prepaid plan and the unlimited prepaid plan are both prepaid, so you top up rather than commit, and BSD 5 a month is what a light-use line costs. The range in prepaid, rolling and contract also covers rolling and contract billing, so a fixed term is available if you prefer one.
What does the ALIV home broadband deliver?+
The broadband is fibre to the premises, with downloads of 1,000 Mbps and uploads that run 50 to 500 Mbps. A smart wifi device is included in the package, so the hardware arrives with the service rather than being a separate purchase for a home network.
Which market does ALIV operate in?+
ALIV operates in Bahamas, so the mobile plans and the home fibre are both built for a single market rather than a wide region. Anyone living elsewhere should start with a provider in their own country, since pricing here is set for that market and roaming away from it is handled separately.
How do I reach ALIV support?+
Support runs across email, chat and phone. Email, chat, phone and a help centre are all available, so a quick billing question can go to chat while a technical problem moves to phone, without a second company getting involved. The mobile and broadband sides sit under the same desk.
Is roaming included when I travel with an ALIV SIM?+
Europe roaming is paid, so travel abroad is not part of the monthly price and usage is charged separately. Budget for roaming rather than assuming the home tariff carries over, and check the terms for your destination before departure.
Can I use an ALIV SIM in a handset I already own?+
Yes, sim only deals are available, so the line is sold without a new handset and you bring a compatible phone. The cheapest way in is the entry prepaid plan at BSD 5 a month, while the unlimited prepaid plan at BSD 45 a month suits heavier data use on the same prepaid basis.
Who is behind ALIV?+
The legal entity behind the service is Cable Bahamas Group Ltd, named on the terms of use. That company runs both the mobile plans and the home fibre under the ALIV name, and the same operation handles support through email, chat and phone.
