Prepaid customers would be able to sign up for PWP anytime during the week and take advantage of the special weekend plan.

• A Prepaid Weekend Pass (“PWP”) will allow Digicel Prepaid Customers (“Customers”, “Prepaid Customers” or “you” and “your” is to be construed accordingly) to make unlimited calls to any local Digicel number on weekends falling with a seven (7) day subscription period (“the subscription period”).
• All Prepaid Customers on Prepaid Day and Prepaid Night Plans are eligible to subscribe to PWP’s.
• To subscribe to a PWP you must have sufficient credit on your account to cover the charges set out below. Once your account has the necessary credit, you only need to dial the USSD code *150# and then press the dial button on your handset. You will then receive a SMS/text message with instructions on selecting a plan either:
o for unlimited calls to other local Digicel numbers for $25.00 VAT inclusive; or
o for unlimited calls and SMS/text messages to other local Digicel numbers for $35.00 VAT inclusive.
Both of the above plans will be valid for use on weekends falling with the seven (7) days from the time of your subscription to the PWP, subject to the terms and conditions set out below.
• The PWP will expire on the seventh (7th) day following your subscription and at the same time of your subscription unless you renew that PWP subscription in the same manner as described above. The renewal subscription may be requested during an ongoing seven (7) day period under an existing PWP by following the same steps above. However the renewal PWP will not be charged or take effect until the expiration of the current seven (7) day period under the existing PWP. You must have sufficient credit on your account to cover the renewal subscription at the end of the current seven (7) day period in order for the renewal subscription to take effect.
• Prepaid Customers will also receive one (1) SMS/text message one (1) hour prior to the expiration time for your PWP reminding you that the PWP will expire in that time and giving you instructions on renewing the subscription.
• PWP’s are offered for the personal use of individuals and not commercial use or usage by groups of individuals. Any usage at all by an individual that in Digicel’s sole discretion is intended for financial gain or profit by you or by groups of individuals will result in the immediate termination of the particular PWP.
• Customers are free to opt out of any PWP at any time by calling any Customer Care Agent at 628-7000. There is no USSD code to unsubscribe. Also there shall be no refund of the subscription charges for the PWP where a Customer opts out of the subscription. Whenever you opt out of a PWP, it will only cease at the end of the relevant seven (7) day period.
• Unused benefits under any PWP will NOT roll over after the seven (7) day period.
• In addition, Digicel and you agree that Digicel reserves the right to terminate any PWP forthwith if in our sole opinion it is being abused, such abuse to include but not be limited to:-
o any usage in excess of 1,000 minutes per weekend in voice calls,
o any usage by group(s) of individuals,
o circuits being used for data transmission and/or non-voice communication,
o installation of any SIM cards being used in a PBX/switchboard,
o general abuse intended to undermine the mobile telecommunications network or services provided by Digicel, and
o any other ground for suspension or termination under Clause 16 of Digicel’s Prepaid Terms and Conditions.
