Digicel warns subscribers to register before month ends

DIGICEL is urging subscribers to register before the end of the month or risk being disconnected from its network.
The company is trying its best to ensure none of its two million-plus subscribers are disconnected, says senior vice-president Lorna McPherson.
“Our two million customers are very important to us,” she said.
“We want to ensure they all remain connected.
“People still have time to register their SIM card and protect their number and connectivity.
“We can’t stress enough that people will be disconnected after the end of July.
“Your SIM allows to you receive and take phone calls, SMS and emails via data.
“If you don’t register your SIM, you will also lose connectivity to social media.”
Digicel has already started to test systems to deactivate unregistered SIMs, while noting here won’t be any further extensions,
“Registering your SIM will only take five minutes and protects your number,” McPherson said.
“The form only requires basic information about the SIM owner.
“We will require a form of photo ID, or another ID to verify your identity.
“The SIM registration is not a new thing.
“Mobile phone providers globally follow this process of registration.”
“Our Digicel registration forms are available across the country.
“Our friendly teams will assist you to have these forms completed and then register your SIM.
“Your number is then safe and locked to you.
“Digicel has outlets located right across the country in convenient locations.
“They are located within all the major city and country locations, shopping centres, and special kiosks scattered throughout towns.”
