Telecoms firm introduces happy hour

(CNS): In what it describes as an effort to “make life a little easier” for its customers in the current economic environment, LIME is introducing a region-wide promotion that includes free talk time and text messaging, bonus credit, complimentary SIM reactivation and discounts on internet service, through March and April. Mobile customers will be able to send text messages to other LIME mobiles free for one hour in the  “SMS Happy Hour” from 4:00 to 5:00 pm each day.

Tony Ritch, Country Manager Cayman Islands, said, “We know that many of our customers are finding it extremely challenging in these times, and so we decided to do something to help. The result is some great deals which will save them quite a bit on their telecoms spend,” he said. “We’re very proud that LIME is one of the first companies to acknowledge the difficult times in the Caribbean and provide some tangible offers as part of a promotional campaign that we believe can also keep a smile on our customers’ faces.”

Prepaid mobile customers can also enjoy free calls to other LIME mobiles all day on Sundays once they top up with at least $25 during the week, and new post-paid customers will automatically receive double their allocation of on-net calling minutes for the first three months of their service contract. LIME said it will also be giving $2 free “reactivation” credit to prepaid mobile customers whose phones have become inactive in the last three months.   In addition, customers will automatically receive 25% bonus credit the first time they top up their re-activated prepaid account. 

There will also be savings the firm said on broadband with customers signing up for internet service packages will get double the speed at the regular price for the first three months of their service contract.
