Following on the announcement last week by Cable & Wireless to cut all prepaid rates to $2.99 across all networks and to overseas, Digicel Jamaica unveiled a range of new plans that involves the lowest rates per minute. The new plans goes into effect at 12.01am on Friday morning.
Customers are now able to choose from one of six plans that best suit their individual needs a release from the company said.
Digicel’s line up of plans includes the Brawta Plan, the Gimme Five Extra Plan, the Double Bubble Plan and the $2.99 Plan all with per second billing plus the $2.49 Plan and $2.89 Sweet Plan with per minute billing.
Digicel Jamaica CEO, Barry O’Brien commented; “We asked our customers what they wanted and the answers we got were great value, lots of choice and more freeness.”
The details of each plan as provided by Digicel are:
The Brawta Plan and Gimme Five Extra Plan see customers getting even more freeness than they got with Gimme Five. Customers will now get 55 minutes of free Digicel Talk, 200 free Digicel Texts, 10 MB of free Data with free Nights, 55 free International minutes, monthly free Credit and Cash Back after talking for five minutes, sending five texts or topping up with $200 or more.
The Double Bubble Plan with per second billing sees customers getting double the value of their credit every time they top up with $200 or more. But that’s not all. Double Bubble customers will also get 10 minutes of free Digicel Talk, 10 free Digicel Texts and 25 free International minutes once they have talked on net or internationally for five minutes or sent five texts.
The $2.99 Plan with per second billing means customers get a great low rate on net and to the other mobile network at any time.
The $2.49 Plan with per minute billing is perfect for those customers who make longer calls and want the lowest rate in the market. Both of these new $2.99 and $2.49 Plans come with 25 free International minutes after the first five minutes.
Best suited to customers who like making long calls, the $2.89 Sweet Plan with per minute billing offers 10 minutes of free Digicel Talk, 100 free Digicel Texts, 10 MB of free Data with free Nights, 25 free International minutes, free Credit and Cash Back to customers once they have talked for five minutes, sent five texts or topped up with $200 or more.
Digicel Jamaica CEO, Barry O’Brien, continues; “We know that everybody loves freeness and presently over half our customers talk time is free and over 90% of Digicel texts sent are free. For example, with the new Gimme Five Extra Plan, with Free after 5, a customer now gets 200 free texts which equates to $600 of free texts when you spend $15.”
To guarantee the customer experience, Digicel invested $7 billion in network improvements and upgrades last year and a further $3 billion investment is planned for this year.
