DRIVING SCHOOL INSTRUCTOR IS 1ST WINNER OF $500 FREE GROCERIES AND A BLACKBERRY, COMPLIMENTS DIGICEL & RITEWAY

November 5th 2010 - Shop for Free winner announced

Friday, 5 November 2010 – Road Town, Tortola: Still in shock at having won the first of six weekly prizes of $500 in groceries and a BlackBerry Gemini smartphone, Driving School Instructor Cherylene Cameron is now all set to fully endorse Digicel, The Bigger, Better Network!

 

Ms. Cameron received a call this morning from popular ZROD 103.7 FM disc jockey Paul ‘Gadeithz’ Peart, who surprised her with the announcement. “I still can’t believe it,” she said when she collected her brand new BlackBerry from Corporate Sales Executive Giovanni Herbert a few hours later. “I have been with another cell phone company for many years and I have never won anything from them. Also, my husband recently received a scam message via text and so I thought this was just that.”

 

In congratulating Ms. Cameron, Commercial Director Gerry Ryan again welcomed Ms. Cameron to the Digicel family of valued customers. “We know you had a prepaid Digicel phone before, but there is nothing like having a Digicel BlackBerry. We know you will enjoy our service.”

 

Digicel on Monday announced the launch of its 2010 Christmas promotion, where several lucky Digicel subscribers will rake in over $20,000 in a Shop for FREE Competition at Riteway’s brand new flagship store in Pasea Estate, another first for the BVI.

 

Five other Digicel customers will each receive a $500 gift voucher from Riteway and a BlackBerry Gemini. In December, one lucky winner will receive $12,000 in shopping at Riteway Supermarket, a BlackBerry Torch and $200 credit each month for 12 months, and the contents of their shopping basket.

 

To enter the contest, persons must either buy any Digicel phone, top up by $15 or more, pay their bills in full and on time, register for E-Bill or activate any BlackBerry service.

 

The Digicel Supermarket Sweep Christmas promotion will run until December 8th, 2010. Everyone can follow the promotion in the local media, but in particular during The Morning Ride Show on ZROD 103.7FM, on JTV Channel 55 and by logging on to www.digicelbvi.com.
