Digicel said the company understands the desire of users to contact their relatives and friends as soon as possible, so it is working to expand the capacity of satellite data communications.
On January 19, Digicel announced that the company's international calling service in Tonga had been restored, and that Tonga residents using the company's mobile calling service could now communicate with relatives and friends overseas. However, due to damage to submarine cables, it may take weeks for Internet service in Tonga to recover. The company will issue free SIM cards to local residents of Tonga from January 20 to help them get in touch with their relatives and friends overseas as soon as possible. (Reporter Sun Muning)
