Wilfred Lunge’s version of Ed Sheeren’s Thinking out loud stole the judges’ hearts, which he claims to have sung for his Valentine, Shirley.

Lunge, who is a third year student at the University of Papua New Guinea, studying Public Policy Management, said he was excited to win the Huawei P9 and thanked Digicel for running this competition and giving back to its customers.

“My very first smartphone was an Alcatel Pixi followed by an Alcatel EVO that I currently use,” Lunge said.

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.

The SMS-based game is open to all prepaid and postpaid customers 18 years and over and will see K100,000 worth of prizes given to customers from now until January 31.

To participate in the game, customers simply text the keyword NEW to short code 1644 to receive New Year’s Resolutions tokens.

Each resolution token will contain a different message worth varying points, from 10 to 100 respectively.

An excited Pala turned up today with his children to the Digicel head office at Gordons to pick up his brand new vehicle and had plenty to say.

“Thank you Digicel. Thank you. This is the biggest prize I have ever won. I’m very happy,” said Pala.

Representatives from the National Gaming Control Board were also present to witness the event.

Digicel PNG’s Head of Products and VAS, David Mba said the Find Santa’s Friend game ran from December 1, 2016 and finished on December 30.

Organised by the O’Neill Foundation and the National Gaming and Control Board, with support from various businesses including Digicel, the event was held at Konedobu Oval and drew a large crowd of excited young children aged between 3 and 12. 

On the day, attendees were treated to a performance from PNG singing sensation Jokema with backup vocalist Emma Edwards. Jokema’s rendition of Jix Ambe proved particularly popular with all generations of the audiences, who were singing along in unison. 

For bigger groups, it brings everybody around the table.

For Digicel PNG staff in Port Moresby, the mood set in early, bringing everyone around the stage yesterday.

The company threw an early Christmas party at its headquarters, ending their Friday on a jolly note.

Staff entertained each other with items, and a treasure hunt looking for Digicel’s Secret Santa.

There were gifts for winners and food for the rest.

The three year deal was made official today with the signing between Digicel Retail Director, Lorna McPherson and PNG Rugby Football League (PNGRFL) Chairman, Sandis Tsaka at the CHM building in Port Moresby.

This is the second term of the platinum agreement and marks the first time the PNGRFL has had an exclusive telecommunications partner.

‘Nothing brings people together like rugby league in PNG. Digicel is thrilled to line up beside the world’s most passionate rugby league supporters and cheer on our home grown team, the SP Hunters.
