Residents of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) travelling within the region are expected to experience a 70 to 98% saving on roaming charges starting April 2022. This treats with the vexed issues of unpredictable charges associated with roaming and “bill shock”.
This was revealed at the recent signing of The Declaration of St George’s – Towards the Reducing IntraCaricom Roaming Charges, by which Cable & Wireless and Digicel have agreed to reduce roaming costs.
Grenadian Prime Minister, Dr Keith Mitchell and CARICOM Lead on Science & Technology
said, “We firmly believe that this critical reduction in roaming charges will help drive digital commerce, regional integration and economic development.”
