It has approximately 6 million customers worldwide and is the largest cellular company in the Caribbean as well as being the fastest growing company in the Pacific. O’Brien is a former Deputy Governor of 
the Bank of Ireland and has acquired his fortune investing and developing in the telecoms industry. Digicel bought Telecom Samoa and also has interests in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu and other countries. Digicel is also a major sponsor of the Fiji sevens rugby team.
A prolific investor in mobile networks around the world, O’Brien through Digicel (Pacific) will bring his expertise and experience of his large telecom network to Tonga meaning more competitive rates, advanced mobile technologies and improved coverage.
Welcome to Tonga Digicel 
It will be interesting to see how UCall reacts to the new competitor in Tonga’s mobile market place. One thing is for sure, any competition is great for our Tongan consumers. The implementation of mobile technology in Tonga has helped reduced the costs of calling and allowed many of us to stay in touch with our families throughout Tonga and overseas.
Let’s hope they increase the speeds of internet usage in Tonga.
