“We
are always looking for ways to bring our customers added value and we have done
this most recently with a strong focus on our Data offerings. Last year we
introduced the unrestricted use of Facebook and Instagram on a set of plans and
then followed this up with unrestricted Whatsapp, giving our customers the
freedom to use their Data quotas for other purposes such as streaming,
downloading, paying bills online, etc. Now with Rollover Data we are enabling
them to get the full use of what they’ve paid for.”
Marketing Executive
with Digicel (Barbados) Limited, Randy Howard on the introduction of Rollover Data
Looks
like Digicel has been watching the T-Mobile Super Bowl XLIX Commercial where
Kim Kardashian
West exhorts you to Save the Data so that you can see more of her.
Rollover
Data is finally here, or at least in Barbados as announced on Wednesday
February 11th 2015 in the article “Digicel
customers will never lose unused Data again”, published 2/11/2015, The Barbados Advocate and “Digicel
launches rollover Data”, published 11/02/2015, Loop News.

Strangely,
Digicel has released no YouTube videos on their Digicel Barbados YouTube
Channel, Digicel Barbados
Twitter channel, albeit it was mentioned on Digicel Barbados Facebook page
as shown below.
In
fact, it wasn’t even mentioned on their Digicel Jamaica Twitter Page or
even their Digicel Jamaica Facebook
Page or on the Digicel
Jamaica Youtube Channel, indicating that Barbados may be just simply the
last country to get Rollover data.
Also,
there is no Press Release ANYWHERE, meaning that this is just an announcement
that was captured by only two (2) News organizations, The Barbados Advocate and Loop
News in Barbados.
Digicel Barbados has Rollover
Data – 4G Mobile Rollover in Jamaica now in Barbados
Good
to note that Jamaica has always had Rollover Data on all 4G Mobile Plans as per
the 4G
Mobile Prepaid Price Plans as listed on Digicel’s Website.
This
features means that Digicel Barbados
customers can auto-renew their Data Plans and have their unused Data plans
added to the New Data Plan. More interestingly, once a customer upgrades or
downgrades to a new Data Plan, the unused Data from the previous plan will be
added to that New Data Plan.

This
applies to Data Plans being offered for 4G Broadband Data Plans, Blackberry Data
Plans and 2G Data Plans, which are still in use as noted in my blog article
entitled “Digicel's
JA$70 Data Plans vs LIME's JA$50 Data Plans - How to choose 3-Day and 30-Day Data
Plans in Jamaica”.
So
when will this be coming to Digicel
Jamaica?
Rollover
Data would be great for many customers who have always lamented about the loss
of those few kilobytes of their Data Plans that are left unused after the Plan
expires.
Plus,
we Jamaican would love to see Kim Kardashian's latest outfits, even play her
game Kim
Kardashian: Hollywood as noted in my blog article
entitled “Glu
Mobile's Kim Kardashian Hollywood App - Anatomy of How an A-List Celebrity
based App propels In-App Purchases”.
Digicel,
please, help Save the Data in Barbados, as we in Jamaica already have Rollover
Data!
