Purchasing Internet Plans With Digicel Belize: A Step-By-Step Guide

Belize has two mobile telecommunication operators: DigiCell and Smart. DigiCell is run by Belize Telemedia Limited (BTL), the country's leading state-owned telco company. DigiCell offers both Pre and Post-Paid plans, with the latter being attractive to business people, Belizeans, or expatriates as the cell number is permanent. DigiCell's Prepaid SIM Pack includes an activated SIM card, phone number, and $10 prepaid voucher, which can be purchased for $20. For more credit, users can top up online or at agents. DigiCell also offers Prepaid Data Roaming Plans, which provide data connectivity in 27 destinations across North and South America.

DigiCell Prepaid SIM Card activation

To activate a DigiCell Prepaid SIM Card, you must first purchase the SIM card from a DigiCell retail store. The SIM card will come with a standard 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) and a PUK code. The PIN is provided at the time of purchase, and the PIN and PUK codes can be found on the SIM card packet.

To activate the SIM card, insert it into your device, following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Once inserted, turn on your device and enter the PIN and PUK number. These can be found by scratching off the silver foil on the back of your SIM card.

DigiCell Prepaid Data Roaming Plans

DigiCell offers both Post and Pre-Paid cell plans. While the Post-Paid plans are attractive to businesspersons, Belizeans, or expatriates, Pre-Paid plans are more suitable for tourists and business visitors.

DigiCell's Pre-Paid Data Roaming Plans are a great option if you want to stay connected while travelling. These plans are available through the My Digicel app or by dialling a specific code. You can choose from various data plans, such as 1 GB, 2 GB, or 3 GB, depending on your needs. It is recommended that you activate the plan before leaving your home country to avoid standard roaming charges.

To activate your Pre-Paid Data Roaming Plan, follow these steps:

• Download the My Digicel app.
• Log in by connecting with your Digicel ID.
• Select the plan that suits your needs and click 'Activate'.
• Restart your device once you receive the plan activation prompt.

Additionally, if you are roaming in the United States, it is important to note that major US carriers have shut down their 2G and 3G networks. As a result, roaming cannot be guaranteed with older 2G/3G devices.

With DigiCell's Pre-Paid Data Roaming Plans, you can explore new places without worrying about staying connected. Stay connected on your travels with DigiCell's convenient and budget-friendly options!
