To Our Valued Customers and Business Partners,

We are facing an unprecedented situation with the Coronavirus; developments are rapidly occurring, and decisions are being made in real-time that affect our colleagues, our families and our communities.

One thing that remains consistent and is critical in these challenging moments is the ability for you to communicate with one another, connect with your loved ones, and conduct your business as best as possible.

Health and Safety:

  • We have increased the frequency of cleaning high touch areas in our offices and stores.
  • We have trained our employees and external teams on best practices, and given them tools to help keep them and you safe in the event we need to visit your homes for installations and service checks.

Customer Service & Retail Stores:

  • Our Retail Stores will remain open, but please check opening hours as they may change for safety reasons. Store hours are available at: https://discoverflow.co/antigua/find-a-store

Given the current developments with the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and guidance by the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment, and the World Health Organization (WHO), we have implemented some changes to our retail store operations.

The changes which are aimed at safeguarding you, our valued customers and our team members Take immediate effect as follows:

  • All customer interactions will now be handled in a tent outside the Market Street (Judgement Square) and Woods Mall locations. This is to diminish the risk of direct person to person transmission in the confined internal store areas.
  • Customers are asked to place their orders at the tents. There are committed lines for each type of transaction. A dedicated team member will relay the request to staff members inside the stores for processing where necessary.
  • To ensure that we maintain the recommended social distancing practices we have clear demarcations for each que.
  • There is an increased security presence at the stores and tents; and additional customer care agents have been brought on board to help us provide you with the best possible service.
  • We respectfully ask you to utilize our alternative easy and convenient transaction options. If you have symptoms of the Coronavirus (coughing, sneezing, or difficulty breathing), please note that you will not be permitted to interact with our customer care agents.

We encourage and remind you of our easy and convenient transaction options for use where possible:

Message from Joe Mathieson

Country Manager

Dear Valued Customers and Partners,

Flow remains committed to supporting the nation in its efforts to battle the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The safety of our employees, their families, our customers, and the communities where we operate is our primary concern.

Our new in-store procedures have been well received as they ensure that we comply with social distancing protocols and other guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Environment and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Our stores have been reconfigured to provide more personal space between customers and we have imposed a maximum limit of 10 customers in our stores at any given time. In addition, we now require all staff and customers to wear masks, and to sanitize their hands as they enter and leave our stores.

There are two great initiatives that we have introduced that continue to minimize foot traffic to the Stores and have both been a hit with our customers.

  1. Our new and convenient mobile store now comes to you. Customers can now conveniently obtain every service offered in our physical stores via our Flow Mobile Store. Please check our social media pages for the dates and times that our mobile store may be in a community near you.
  2. Additionally, we opened the Flow Virtual Store which offers all our traditional in-store customer service offerings over the phone or online. You can contact our team to answer any queries you may have, by sending an e-mail to:flowanucustomerservice@gmail.com or send a WhatsApp message the numbers below:

    1-268-782-FLOW (3569) - for assistance with your mobile and broadband services

    1-268-789-FLOW (3569) - for assistance with your TV service

We also encourage you to use our easy and convenient online channels where possible. These include:

Flow remains committed to supporting the communities that we serve as we navigate through this crisis to a safer and better world.

We are hopeful that the worst of this pandemic is behind us and are encouraged by the sharp decline in new and active cases. The fact that over thirty two thousand citizens and residents have already received their first dose of the vaccine is good news as this is a critical factor in our collective efforts to return to a state of normalcy in our lives.

We encourage everyone to continue to be guided by the updates from the Ministry of Health and Environment.

Let’s continue to be kind and support each other, especially the less fortunate and more vulnerable among us. As a nation we have proved our resilience time and time again in the past as we overcame the challenges of natural and man made disasters. This pandemic is no different and we will get through this together and be that much stronger as a nation.

Keep safe!

Dear Customer,

As of July 1, Flow will no longer support picture messaging sent via SMS/MMS services, or WAP services. We would like to recommend that you use WEB browsers to access the Internet once we stop supporting WAP or WAP services.

We understand that this change may impact how you use our services but we continue to support other channels that make sharing easier.

Thank you for being a Flow customer!

Sincerely,

Your Flow Team

Why I’m seeing an alert or error message when I tried to send a message?

As of July 1, Flow will disconnect SMS/MMS services, which mean that messages that contain images won’t be able to be sent using our SMS service. You will still be able to continue using our SMS service for regular text messages. Try using messaging apps from the app store to share with friends and family.

If you are an iOS user:

  • iMessage: continue using your iMessage service to send multimedia files or text messages, as long as it is available. If you have set the option “Send as SMS” in case iMessage is not available, that message will be only sent if it does not contain any multimedia file. If there are more than 160 characters in your message, please be advised that messages will be concatenated and you will be charged based on the number of concatenated messages sent.
    • SMS: text messages without multimedia files will be sent as a SMS. Messages with more than 160 characters, will be sent as concatenated messages.
    • MMS: in the past, when iMessage was not available or you were sending a multimedia file, the message was sent as a MMS. MMS is no longer supported in the Flow network. 
    • Group Messages: in the past, when you created a group message and not all of your recipients had iMessage or your iMessage was not available, the message was sent as a MMS. Please be advised that if iMessage is unavailable, you will be charged based on the number of recipients included in your message, also messages to recipients that do not have iMessage will be charged. Each recipient will receive the SMS and the sender will be charged for the total SMS sent.
  • What are ‘Concatenated SMS’? When you send an SMS message over 160 characters, the message will be split into multiple SMS. Large messages are segmented into 153 character segments and sent individually then rebuilt by the recipient’s device. For example, a 161-character message will be sent as two messages, one with 153 characters and the second with 8 characters.
