Digicel arrives in Turks & Caicos

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos—Caribbean mobile operator Digicel Group plc said it plans to launch new mobile services in its Turks & Caicos market.

New services include per-second billing, international roaming and free activation, said the company. The company also recently opened 113 top-up locations and nine retail stores in the country and offered a free public concert as it works to compete with incumbent carrier Cable & Wireless.

In March, Digicel won a license to provide service in the Caribbean islands of Turks & Caicos, which is home to about 21,000 people. The company built a GSM network in the country using equipment from L.M. Ericsson.
