Default Any Ideas on these towers carriers?

At the beginning of the year, I took a trip to El Salvador. Really nice country.

I took some pics of some towers that I saw on my trip (links below) and posted them on WA a little while after I got back. But I finally had the idea to see if anyone on here was able to recognize what carriers were on these towers. I saw a bunch of signs down there advertising Digicel which must be a major carrier down there, but I didn't have time to stop and get closer pics of the tower's equipment

Anyways, just thought I would try this. Any Ideas?

Nice pictures Der84, it's hard to tell from those pictures what carrier they belong to..

I haven't been back home in years, but Digicel is a major GSM carrier, we also have Tigo also known as Telemovil also a GSM carrier, for CDMA service we have Telefonica (Movistar) and prepaid we have Telecom which is also GSM....

Love that picture from the beach, makes me wanna go home and enjoy a nice cold "Pilsener" with some Pupusas

Hey Tony E!

Yeah, that was a village we found. We walked a couple miles down from the resort we were at. This was taken at about the top of this little slope we had to climb. We ventured in and had a couple drinks with some of the locals. They were very friendly and hospitable.

Really beautiful country, I take it you're from there, or some where close to El Salvador?

By the way, yes I have to agree with you on the Pilsener and especially the Pupusas. Those were good..ha ha.

Well myself and some friends decided that it would be somewhere different to visit. It was my first trip outside of North America, and I'll say it was definitely a very nice country.

We hung around the resort for the most part. The only two excursions we went on were to the Mayan Ruins and I also did the volcano climb. (Mount Izalco & The Green Volcano) One of the pictures I have posted there is of a couple of the towers on top of the Green Volcano. The climb was definitely an experience in itself.

I would for sure go back and visit, but probably not for a couple of years or so.
