DIGICEL Group has acquired Haitian mobile operator, Voila, from its parent company, US-based Trilogy International Partners, for an undisclosed sum.

The transaction closed last Friday.

The two companies will continue to be run separately.

Voila has been offering services in Haiti since September 1999 and currently serves nearly a million customers. Digicel, which launched in Haiti in 2005, will now have over 3.5 million customers there.

Commenting on the acquisition, Digicel Group CEO Colm Delves said; “We are pleased to welcome Voila customers and staff to the Digicel family. As proud Haitian companies, Digicel and Voila share one very important thing in common; we are both deeply committed to ensuring our respective customers benefit from the best mobile experience. Digicel’s acquisition of Voila will see mobile users across Haiti benefiting from increased investment in even better mobile services and new technology in the future.”

Digicel Group Limited boasts over 11 million customers across its 31 markets in the Caribbean, Central America and the Pacific.
