Simple and secure purchasing rolling out across the Caribbean and Panama

Digicel  is the first provider in the Caribbean and Panama to integrate carrier billing with BlackBerry App World™. Enabling the convenience of a single monthly bill, Digicel’s customers will now be able to charge their app purchases from BlackBerry App World™ directly to their Digicel monthly phone bill or using their Digicel prepaid credit.

 The service launched in Panama for prepaid customers in mid-October and has since been rolled out across Digicel's 23 Caribbean markets.

 BlackBerry App World™ is the official app store for BlackBerry smartphones and is designed to allow customers to easily discover and download applications.

 David Hodgers, Digicel Group Head of Products, commented; “We are delighted to be delivering another important first to our customers in Panama and across the Caribbean. BlackBerry App World™ offers thousands of opportunities for customers to access and enjoy their music, games, news and entertainment in the way they want. Now, they can access a broader world of entertainment and information, and buy and pay for apps simply and securely via their monthly phone bill or their prepaid credit, enjoying a truly personalised smartphone experience.”
