I heard good thing about DIGIEL from overseas. I really hope they will bring more than cell phone service on the island and some of the profit generated will help the country move forward because thats what HAITI really need. If Digicel has the willing for sure will see some changes in the country.

One of the reasons they did the coup against Aristide was because he refused to privatize Haiti’s Teleco public telephone company. Haiti has one of the lowest public employements in the world but the rich still want to have more privatization.

I cannot reach a Voila cell phone number from the U.S. The call went through once, but never again. Does anyone else have this problem?

I want to thank you for your honesty through your Quote.
“For too long the people in Haiti have had to put up with a terrible
service, bad networks , High prices andtotal unreliability” if you pick up the phone from today , we see a new beginning in Haiti”.

May the good God bless you throughout the New year 2007
for the success of your Digicel Company which will give hope to my people.

It is good news to hear about any investments prospect in Haiti. While there is compition amongst the providers, I hope it will be translated into multiplications of job offers for Haitians.

My Friends, the problem with this issue and many others is simply that the Haitian people of power want nothing to do with true competition. Thus if someone like Digicel comes in and puts in a good business together the other companies simply stand around and yell racial slurs at Digicel. “They are not originally from Haiti so they should not be able to have such an effect on our company.” It all comes back to simply an issue of race. Quit! we are all human beings. Play on a level playing field, not one in which only your kind can compete. Maybe Haiti will get somewhere that way.

Well I hope haitian people do not complaint about treating them like a second class citizens. both digicel and the GB group brought Digicel in Haiti just to collect. GB group has been in Haiti for all my life, what has it done? we don’t even have a good hospital in Haiti, schools. GB does not even buy nothing from Haiti, groceries from Miami or your neighboor DR. Please, read what Gilber Bigio said ’Our principle, which we respect daily, is to not mix in Haitian politics,’’ he explained. “Even after three generations, we are considered foreigners.’ He doesn’t give a shit about Haiti. All he and the others care is become filty rich by haitian sweats. And we haitian buy all that crap. F— GB

I am from Haiti but live in the USA.
I appreciate the opportunity that Digitel offers to Haitians to be able to possess a cell-phone not too expensive.

Continue with the good work.
