Digicel slashes international calling rates

Digicel Guyana on Friday announced that it has further reduced its international calling rates bringing the number of countries customers can call for $30 to 100.

“Digicel subscribers can now call countries including China, Canada, United Kingdom, United States, Panama, St Maarten, Brazil, Venezuela, St Lucia, Dominican Republic and many MORE for the same low rate as calling a local number. “This is the first of many service and product changes customers can expect thanks to liberalization,” Digicel’s CEO Gregory Dean said.

The rate reductions will result in the cost of overseas calls being significantly reduced by as much as 600 per cent as a result of the pre liberalisation rates, the Company said noting that “this will be a great benefit for persons keeping in touch with friends and family and business persons needing to conduct trade globally.”

Dean said: “We have also taken the decision to significantly boost the number of persons working on our network upgrades. We are making every effort to ensure customers see the promised benefits of liberalisation in the shortest possible time.”
