Basseterre, St Kitts (January 25th, 2007) - Digicel, the fastest growing mobile telecommunications provider in the Caribbean, announced today that it is making its mobile service even more convenient and economical to residents of the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis, with the launch of its "Digicel at Home" campaign and the availability of the Jalbatron GDP-02 GSM Desktop Phone.
While these very versatile mobile handsets have been in circulation in St. Kitts for the past few months specifically to the corporate community, the demand to make them available to the wider market has been phenomenal as residents try to diversify their mobile telecommunication and control their overall communication costs, remarked Donovan White - Market Manager, Digicel St. Kitts & Nevis.
With the "Digicel at Home" service, residents now have the convenient alternative to the traditional home phone and can choose between prepaid or postpaid service; take advantage of Digicel's low call rates; send or receive text messages from your Digicel Home Phone and most importantly, there are no monthly rental fees.
For residential use, the "Digicel at Home" service is perfect for those customers who don't necessarily make a lot of calls from the traditional home phone but want to be contactable or want to be able to make mobile calls without the additional costs. In the case of business use, a typical three minutes business call to a mobile customer would cost $2.25c at present fixed to mobile rates; with a Digicel GSM desktop phone, the savings on a similar call would be huge with our 2c after 2mins on network call rate for prepaid activations, that call would costs $1.02c.
Digicel Country Manager Donovan White says, "Digicel is always looking for new and innovative ways to enhance our customers mobile telecommunication experience and the introduction of "Digicel at Home" today, is yet another first that Digicel has brought to the people of this great Federation."
In just over a year of operation in the Federation, Digicel has established itself by offering its customers a state of the art network and service options to fit their every need and ontinue to reaffirm its single minded proposition of Best Network; Best Value and Best Service.
