DIGICEL Carribean and Central America reported a 10 per cent increase in its half-year profit to more than $684million on revenues of $1.6billion.

The mobile phone company grew its subscriber base by 7 per cent over the past 12 months to 7.3 million.

Digicel is in direct competition to other mobile phone companies in the country, the major one being Vodafone.

Digicel Group chief executive Colm Delves said the results demonstrated a strong start to the financial year with Digicel increasing profits and subscribers even in a tough economic climate.

Digicel's revenues for the six months to September 30 grew by three per cent.

"We have demonstrated that with disciplined cost control and relentless focus on giving customers what they want, companies can continue to thrive even in challenging times," Mr Delves said.
