In the aftermath of Severe Tropical Cyclone Lola which affected Vanuatu, Digicel Pacific is giving their customers across the Pacific the ability to call from their home country to Vanuatu for free from today.

This offer is valid for calls from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Nauru to Vanuatu for the next 7 days.

Digicel Pacific Regional CEO, Shally Jannif says they know how important it is to be able to stay connected with friends and loved ones, especially at a time like this.

They are encouraging everyone to reach out to their people in Vanuatu to let them know they are not alone and that we are with them.

Meanwhile, Digicel Vanuatu is experiencing some network issues in Pentecost due to damage to infrastructure as a result of the passing of TC Lola.

In most affected areas Santo, Malo, Gauau and Paama calls and sms have been restored while 3G connectivity is available with limited capacity.

Parts of Malekula, Maewoo, Ambae, Vanua Lava and Ambrym islands connectivity has been restored as well.

Digicel Vanuatu CEO, Yaser Maher says it is their mandate to provide not just excellent service but social responsibility too for the people of Vanuatu.
