Hi. Thanks for your suggestions.

When I did this revision some weeks ago, I checked and considered both. Here is why they are not included.

Anvatel is a non-GSM operator using iDEN instead of GSM for 2G and 3G. We generally only list GSM-compatible operators because of compatibility. This is an easy call.

ETB is more complicated. It's a provider focussing on triple-play but operating as a MVNO on Tigo even on 4G. They have only one prepaid plan, but with reasonable data packages. With many MVNOs in one country, there will always be a selection based on accessability and price.

The reason why I decided against ETB is their activation process. It has to be done online and you have to give a domestic Columbian ID number (intern. passports are not allowed). Well, you may "think of" one, and it works anyway. But when there are lot of choices, I don't think we should add an offer which is for "Columbians only", as we make this list for visiting foreigners primarily.

If you have tried ETB with a fake ID number and it works, I will reconsider my decision.
