Kiap praises good policing at airport

The Betelnut Ban controller Honk Kiap has come out praising the work of police at the airport for cracking down on betelnut and mustard smuggling coming into NCD .

Digicel increased its commitment to the sport and the people of PNG after announcing last year that from 2016 Digicel Play will broadcast NRL.

People can also watch the State of Origin Series, The All Stars Match, the ANZAC test, under 20’s games, Digicel Cup and the QRL Intrust Super Cup.

Digicel will also launch a dedicated NRL page on LOOP PNG which will provide game and coverage details and up to date NRL news throughout each day.

This promotion starts today and runs for four weeks,  giving users the opportunity to win K100,000 or K1000 by a simple top up of credits.

The public can enter the draw by topping up with either a K3.30 or K5.50 flex card introduced to the market specifically for this promotion.

Digicel’s head of consumer Khattar Fehmi confirmed that other recharge cards or top up methods do not qualify as this gives the opportunity to flex cards users, mainly in rural areas, to be involved.

Customers now only need to remember one simple number,*777#, to purchase and manage prepaid data and social plans via a streamlined menu displayed in either Tok Pisin or English

“With the launch of *777#, we’re thrilled to bring a vastly improved customer experience to the millions of Digicel subscribers who buy data and social plans. This service enables customers to stay on the plans with the most favourable rates,” said Digicel PNG chief executive officer  Maurice McCarthy.
