‘JUST GREAT VALUE’: The Digicel 10 team yesterday posing for the camera at its Kingston headquarters.

DIGICEL started another promotion at its Fort and Barrack Streets, Kingston, Georgetown headquarters yesterday.

The company said it would allow customers to pay the lowest rate ever in Guyana to talk and text messages from the first minute of either communication.

Through the offer, callers will pay $10 per minute for calls to Digicel or Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) mobile or landline phones and 10 cents to text Digicel numbers.

Digicel said that deepens the competition within the local telecommunications market.

Head of Digicel Marketing, Mr. Donovan White said: “In a deepening economic recession, people are constantly looking for better value for every dollar and cent spent.”

But he observed that the $10 note and 10 cents coins are no longer in circulation.

White said what this latest intervention does is afford subscribers to call any telephone number in this country, whether through Digicel or its competitor, for $10 per minute from the first minute and text any Digicel number for 10 cents.

“To activate these rates, our customers must follow two very simple steps. First dial *110# from their Digicel mobile and then follow the instructions on the reply message and you are ready to talk and text for the lowest rates in Guyana,” he explained.

White said there are two basic plans for Digicel customers, a one-day that costs $110 and a weekly for $550 for five days usage.

Customers who need more information about the service are advised to call Customer Care on 100 from their mobile phones, he advised.
