Caribbean’s Leading Mobile Telecommunications Operator Brings Superior Services with No Hidden Costs

PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS & CAICOS, Friday, July 7th, 2006 — Digicel, the fastest growing mobile telecommunications operator in the Caribbean, has brought freedom of choice at last to mobile customers in Turks & Caicos with its highly anticipated launch of customer-focused services, nationwide coverage, cutting-edge handsets and first-to-market innovations. Nine Digicel retail stores and 113 top-up locations opened simultaneously today throughout the country.

With an initial investment of more than US$15 million into its Turks & Caicos operation and partnership with the world’s leading GSM provider, Digicel’s launch marks the start of a positive new era in mobile telecommunications development.

The high-value services Digicel is bringing to the Turks & Caicos mobile customer for the first time ever include pre-paid roaming, Call-Me text-option, multi-media messaging, free activation and the latest handsets for as low as $19 with no hidden costs. Digicel is offering pre-paid handsets at post-paid prices, double minutes for post-paid customers and a “Pay, Talk, Go” special for pre-paid customers, which gives them free phone credit with a phone purchase. Mobile customers in Turks and Caicos will also leverage the benefits of being part of the largest pan Caribbean network with seamless service across 20 markets.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Digicel flagship store in Graceway Plaza, Digicel CEO, Mr. Oliver Chatten, said: “We are really excited about launching in Turks & Caicos and welcome the people of Turks & Caicos to the Digicel family. With our industry leading service and unmatched customer care we are committed to becoming the number one mobile provider in Turks & Caicos and look forward to building strong relationships of trust and respect with our new customers through our superior offerings and active participation in this vibrant community.”

Hon. Jeffrey Hall, Minister of Communication Works & Utilities, commented on the dynamic company’s launch: “We welcome Digicel to Turks and Caicos and are confident that given its positive track record across the region, Digicel will play an invaluable role in driving mobile telecommunications forward in our country.”
