Milton Keynes, UK, August 01 2011 – The Caribbean’s largest mobile telecommunications provider, Digicel, has selected the DIGITALK Multiservice Platform for its prepaid services throughout the US and Caribbean islands.

Digicel has been providing prepaid calling card and pre/post paid PINless services to Diaspora communities in the US, particularly in Miami, Florida using a white label hosted service. The move to in-house management and operations of the platform architecture offers Digicel greater control over distribution, pricing and promotions, and supports its plans to introduce services in other countries.DIGITALK logoDIGITALK logo

DIGITALK will assist Digicel in migrating all its existing services over to the DIGITALK Prepaid Consumer Platform initially, and then support the roll-out of services to other countries with significant Diaspora communities from the Caribbean Islands, including the UK and France.

Conor Clarke, Digicel Group Director of International Business, commented; “For Digicel, three things matter above all else – best value, best service and best network. We were looking for a provider that not only had carrier class features so we could offer new service features with our re-launch, but also one that could deliver complete service reliability.”

Justin Norris, CEO of DIGITALK added “We’ve managed a number of large-scale deployments this side of the Atlantic now and are very pleased that our reputation as leaders in prepaid consumer platforms in our traditional European Markets has stood the test in the Americas and Caribbean.”
