Third mobile telecoms company coming soon, says Vaz
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica is close to having a third mobile telecommunications provider.
Minister with responsibility for telecommunications, Daryl Vaz, said he has been given the assurance that the company is far advanced in its preparatory activities.
“The people of Jamaica can expect a roll out of services soon,” Vaz said Tuesday during his contribution to the 2025/26 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives.
“Everything that we do is to ensure that Jamaica is an active, agile participant in the digital era, proudly competitive and fully connected,” the minister added.
Continuing, Vaz said, “I look forward to the expansion of service and increased competition which the introduction of a new player into the telecommunications space promises. Therefore, I too would have liked to have seen this third provider already offering services to the Jamaican people, but am cognisant that in a strong and fiercely competitive market, such as Jamaica, getting it right at the outset is important if the objectives are to be achieved.”
Jamaica’s two mobile telecoms providers are Digicel and Flow.
