Vodafone and Digicel have announced a partnership to offer new roaming capabilities across Digicel's markets in the Caribbean and Bermuda and Vodafone's global network. The agreement also extends to Digicel's sister operation in Samoa.

Under the agreement Vodafone and Digicel will become preferred roaming partners offering customers a seamless world-class mobile experience whilst they travel on each others' network.

Both Vodafone and Digicel will market co-branded roaming capabilities, offering pre-paid and post-paid customers easy access to their voice mail and customer service using their standard short codes, as well as better value for both voice and data services. With some variation from market to market, initial services available will include Voice and GPRS Roaming services with plans in place to shortly include Top Up offerings.

For Digicel, which also has roaming agreements with 245 partners in 130 countries around the world, the partnership allows the company to expand the number of countries where it offers pre-paid roaming. They will combine to co-operate in marketing and delivering mobile services to multi-national corporate customers.
