Following the recent liberalisation of the telecommunications sector, Digicel yesterday announced a reduction of its overseas calling rates.
As a result, the company said in a press statement that Digicel subscribers can now call up to 100 countries, including China, Canada, United Kingdom, United States, Panama, St Maarten, Brazil, Venezuela, St Lucia, Dominican Republic, for the same $30 per minute rate as it would cost to call a local number. “This is the first of many service and product changes customers can expect thanks to liberalisation,” Digicel Chief Executive Officer Gregory Dean was quoted as saying in the statement.
