Anguilla: Digicel customers can now enjoy more with the launch of a full suite of prepaid and postpaid plans, built specifically to give Anguillians the best mobile LTE experience on island.
The move is part of Digicel’s promise to take things to the next level with an ongoing global network expansion. LTE is the very latest in commercially available mobile data technology, packing speeds up to ten times faster than 4G. It is capable of running multiple applications smoothly, allowing customers to share large files in real-time and multi-task to their heart’s content. With speeds that surpass anything on a personal computer, it also enables glitch-free High Definition (HD) videos and streaming in real-time, whether on a smartphone, tablet or other internet-enabled device.
The upgrade to our LTE network and launch of new prepaid and postpaid plans are major steps in equipping Anguilla with the most modern communications and entertainment infrastructure, while improving the country’s rate of internet penetration. To this, Kerchelle JnCharles-Hodge, CEO of Digicel Anguilla, commented, “Besides upgrading the way people connect, LTE gives a boost to local productivity and opens up significant earning and employment opportunities for the people of Anguilla.”
In its World Development Report (2016), the World Bank showed how a ten percentage point increase in broadband penetration can increase Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 1.38 percentage points in developing economies. With LTE, Anguilla can drive digital transformation and systematically restructure the society, getting the most out of services like e-commerce, e-learning and e-government.
“Digicel brings a full new set of prepaid and postpaid plans for Anguilla’s first island-wide LTE network, changing the way our customers connect, work and play. We’re very excited about moving data at much faster speeds so our customers can enjoy a more seamless experience with us,” said JnCharles-Hodge. “Customers can now enjoy two hours of free video streaming every day, unlimited WhatsApp, Digicel calling, up to 25GBs of data and more,” the CEO added.
The launch of the new plans took the form of a customer appreciation day, and saw the first twenty customers entering the store at 6 am, on Friday, walking away with a number of prizes including: 50” flat screen TV, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S8+, Samsung phone accessories, gas vouchers, free Digicel services and more. The day was also packed with entertainment by a number of local artistes and the 2018 Road march Champions Exodus HD! Customers also received complimentary LTE cupcakes and Digicel products throughout the day. A playground area was set up for the kids with free cotton candy, popcorn and snow cones being served all day. Also traveling all the way to Anguilla, for the grand LTE celebration, was the Digicel LTE robot ‘ROBOZAO’ , who made several appearances throughout the day and presented a number of miniature bots to the very excited kids and customers who interacted with him.
