Digicel Guyana on Thursday launched its Christmas promotion titled #GetGifted – in Guyana” at its Flagship store at Giftland Mall, Liliendaal, Georgetown.
#GetGifted is built on the premise that the Christmas holidays is said to be the happiest time of the year – all about great gifts, quality family time, joy and happiness – well not quite. The flipside is the hustle and bustle to find the right gifts for loved-ones and friends, which at times turn out to be bad gift choices – and that is something many Guyanese relate to.

With the launch of Digicel’s #GetGifted handset promotion, customers can gift themselves or their loved-ones, that perfect cell phone for the holidays. There is a range of over 20 handsets to choose from, and customers can get up to 50% off on selected handsets.
Some of the handsets include the popular Samsung S7, Samsung S7 Edge, Samsung J10, the Digicel range DL1 Plus and D1 LITE, as well as the Alcatel, Huawei and Azumi brands.
The #GetGifted Christmas promotion has handsets and prices to suit every lifestyle and pocket. Customers can find a phone that matches their lifestyle and personality at a price that suits their budget. #GetGifted will keep customers on the go and connected to Digicel’s superior network this Christmas, as with every smartphone purchased, you will receive a Value Bundle of a one-week 4G Data Plan with over 900MBs, inclusive of 30 minutes Talk and 30 Text Messages to any local number absolutely FREE. Customers will also be able to rollover their unused data, talk and text once they renew their Value Bundle Plan. The campaign comes on the heels of a tongue-in-cheek Christmas song, “Gifted,” which was released by the company’s Chief Speed Officer, Usain Bolt, on his social media pages. The heavily auto-tuned song immediately became a viral hit, racking up over 6.5 million views just days after its release. However, through a partnership with Samsung, the campaign will see Digicel leveraging across digital and mobile platforms ensuring that customers are gifted with everything they need – including better deals on the amazing Samsung Galaxy S7 and better connectivity from the most reliable network in the region.
Meanwhile, #GetGifted is giving back to children across the region with its Gifted Kids initiative. During the launch on Thursday students of the ‘Gifted Hands Special Needs School, were treated to gifts from Santa Claus of ice cream and goodies. This initiative will be spread across the Caribbean and Central America in all of Digicel’s 32 markets. Through the Gifted Kids – Christmas Cheers, Digicel’s employees will bring the love and joy of the festive season to kids by feting and treating them to toys and a host of entertaining activities. Digicel will be taking its #Gifted Kids – Christmas Cheers across Guyana by visiting Linden, Berbice, Essequibo and Georgetown.
“This holiday, it’s all about playing with the notion of being gifted – from being gifted by Usain Bolt’s Christmas song to gifting our customers with better products and services or gifting kids with the most memorable Christmas – we know what our customers want and that’s what we are giving them,” said Jacqueline James, Head of Marketing.
