Wednesday, 31 August 2011 – Road Town, Tortola: Digicel customers, both postpaid and prepaid, will be delighted to learn of the launch of two new exciting offers that will bring added value to their experience using The Bigger, Better Network.

For the first time in the BVI, one can now get a BlackBerry Smartphone for the lowest price ever - $49 for the Curve 8520. This offer is available to new customers only on a Digicel Select postpaid plan at $65 a month, which includes 325 minutes and unlimited data.

“With this new postpaid offer, you can really get to enjoy the full benefits of using a BlackBerry – keeping up with the Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace and chat services such as MSN, Gmail and Yahoo; the instant messaging app – BlackBerry Messenger; and having access to secure Internet services on your mobile phone,” CEO Alan Bates said.

For those customers who do not wish to be billed every month, Digicel is offering unlimited SMS/texting to any network in the BVI, 100 FREE on-net minutes and FREE weekend calls to Digicel numbers, when you Top Up by $15 or more Monday to Friday.

This great prepaid offer, dubbed ‘Talk More, Text More’, will be available for another 7 days each time you Top Up $15 or more.
