The sophisticated, user-friendly self-care voice platform is expected to significantly improve the way and speed at which customers get their queries resolved and get information on the different products, services and offers available to them.

By dialing 123 from their mobile phones, customers can simply follow the prompts to get their queries addressed and get information they need just like that - without having to join lines in a store or wait for the next available agent on the line. Best of all, the service is free to all Digicel customers.

The bundle gives consumers three attractive inclusions - Double Talk Time, Free Data and Free SMS across 10 new plans, making it easier and more affordable for Digicel customers to keep in touch with their friends and family nationwide.

Since going live in Nov 2016, 1TOK has become an integral part of the daily lives of consumers.

You can now buy any smartphone from any Digicel phone outlet nationwide and get 1 gigabyte (GB) of free data per month, for 6 months.

Existing smartphones users on any network can also buy a new SIM to take up this offer, provided that they have not used that smartphone on the Digicel network before.

Digicel Managing Director, Mobile, Shivan Bhargava, says he is thrilled to launch this first-of-its-kind promotion in PNG.

The 56-year-old won K1,000 from Digicel by simply buying a data plan through short code *777#.

The promotion began on February 1, and will see K14,000 in prize money given away to 14 lucky winners until Tuesday, February 14.

Parker said he was shocked when he received the call from Digicel notifying him of his win.

“Thank you Digicel for the prize money. And keep up the good work,” he said.

From Friday, 3 February, until Friday 17 February, Digicel will significantly reduce the prices on a variety of smartphones, including Blackberry, Alcatel and CAT.

Featured handsets include the Blackberry Z10 for K499.50, down from K1, 299; the Blackberry 9790, which was K1, 399 and will now sell for K649.50; the Alcatel 5050 now priced at K199.50 from K499 and the CAT B15, which was K949, and will sell for K499.40.

Digicel Managing Director, Mobile, Shivan Bhargava said the smartphone sales event was expected to be popular among locals.
