Digicel kicks off October with treats for customers nationwide

The tower will be set up in the vicinity of the Frieda River mine project to support its progress.

Mirism presented the payment to Digicel’s Director Government Relations, Gary Seddon in a brief presentation this week.

The Telefomin MP said the 3.6 billion dollar Frieda River project is being given priority.

With the cash flow issue in the country taking a toll on many businesses, the district, through its District Improvement Services Program grant, has foot the bill for the fourth tower, which costs a million kina to set up.

 Digicel PNG donated 4 Samsung Galaxy S7 phones this week towards the event’s 'team prizes'.

The annual Daffodil Cup is set for Friday, August 12 at the Royal Port Moresby Golf Club organized by the Papua New Guinea Cancer Foundation (PNGCF) and sponsored by Oil Search.

The challenge is now into its 14th consecutive year and is a major fundraiser within Daffodil Month, the PNGCF's August Campaign.

The event aims to raise funds for cancer prevention and education in PNG.

Digicel PNG is on the path now to increase data penetration throughout the country through the use of its recently launched service, free Facebook.

Acknowledging Facebook as the largest social media platform globally with 1.6 billion customers, Digicel PNG partnered with Facebook to provide free browsing to its PNG customers.

Digicel managing director mobile, Shivan Bhargava, said Facebook may possibly be a starting point to get more Papua New Guineans onto social media.

Digicel head of products, Paul Byrne, said the company has seen positive response following the soft launch in July 22.

Not stating specific numbers, he says Digicel has seen a massive uplift from a numbers perspective.

He also noted that this remarkable result has been achieved prior to any advertising campaigns being rolled out.

“We just started our advertisement campaign on Monday so we’re expecting really big uptake and increase in people using Facebook on our network.”

This is the concept behind Digicel PNG’s efforts to get staff involved in weekly Staff Motivate Sessions.

This morning was no different as staff were led by Loop PNG and Trend Media staff as they carried out a dance movement routine energised with Justin Timberlake’s Can't stop the feeling song playing in the background.

The “active” 30 minute staff “encouragement” activities has been in place since last year, following a staff company “Wellness & Peak Performance week”.

The option to switch to free Facebook was officially launched last night (July 26) at the Laguna Hotel in Port Moresby. This exciting development was introduced to Digicel staff during a soft launch at the company’s headquarters in Port Moresby and other regional sales offices in Lae, Kokopo and Mt Hagen on July 22.

The newly-launched option to switch to free Facebook mode is accessible via smartphone

Facebook apps or on Facebook.com only when attached to the Digicel network.

Headquartered in the TVWAN television studios in Papua New Guinea, this new Commercial Production Unit is fully resourced to produce High-Definition (HD) TVCs, commercial programmes, corporate videos, digital video and radio jingles for advertisers, local bodies and organisations.

High-definition signal enhances both the picture and the sound on TV so they are crisper and more detailed than ever before.

The awareness was in support of the PNG Cancer Foundation’s Biggest Morning Tea (BMT) campaign.

BMT campaign is a fun and easy way for communities, business houses, friends and family to come together over a cup of tea and start the conversation about cancer.

The campaign gives the people of PNG access to education and information on cancer awareness and prevention during the month of May.

The awareness team comprised of health specialist Lois Booker, breast cancer survivor Wendy Kini and PNGCF fundraising and marketing manager Hayley Chown.

O’Brien is the founder, patron and owner of the Digicel Group and Foundation here in Papua New Guinea.

This morning he paid a visit to all the Digicel staff and workers based in Port Moresby.

Upon addressing the Digicel staff and workers, he said: “Any business that makes profit within a market should always give back to the communities from which it draws its strength, through the building and regeneration of these communities. This has always been a fundamental belief of mine and I’m proud to say a core value of Digicel”.
