BlackBerry from Digicel will enable customers to increase productivity and efficiency in their working lives by easily accessing e-mail, text messaging, Internet, organizer and corporate data applications from a single, integrated device. Furthermore Digicel customers will be able to roam with BlackBerry anywhere within the Digicel network* and enjoy the same level of service they have come to expect from Digicel.

We are increasing our voice and data offerings to our corporate customers, and so are pleased to enrich our portfolio of wireless services with BlackBerry.

Our corporate customers will now be able to enjoy easy-to-use and secure access to their information via the popular BlackBerry platform.”
