FAQs

What is Rollover Data & Talk?

Rollover data and talk is a benefit on our Prime bundles and selected postpaid plans where unused data and talk from your plan allowances are rolled over.

As a prepaid customer, how do I access this service?

As a prepaid customer you can access the rollover data and talk enhancement feature by activating a Prime bundle via the MyDigicel App, Website or by dialing *147# to access the UMM self-help option.

As a postpaid customer, how do I access this service?

As a postpaid customer, the rollover data and talk enhancement is automatic once you’re on a select Postpaid plan and you pay your bill on time.

Is Rollover a promotion, meaning is it available for a limited time?

Rollover data and talk is Digicel’s latest offer designed to keep you seamlessly connected to the things you love without worrying about losing your unused data or talk. Once you are on a selected prepaid plan, you are eligible to receive rollover data and talk while the offer is available and subject to these terms and conditions as well as the terms and condition for the relevant plan/bundle purchased.

Is there a maximum or minimum that can be rolled over?

You will never lose any of your unused data or any second of unused talk as long as you auto-renew or repurchase your prepaid plan/bundle before it expires. However, if you repurchase your plan within the relevant ‘grace period’, the amount of data you can rollover will be capped at 15GBs and your voice rollover will not be impacted.

What is ‘grace period’?

Grace period refers to the period of time after a customer’s existing plan expires that unused data and minutes can be redeemed if a plan is repurchased within that period. If you fail to top-up in time to avail of the unlimited rollover benefits, Digicel may allow you a Grace Period where you can top-up and still retain some of your rollover benefits. The length of the Grace period and the amount of rollover you can avail of if you top up during the Grace Period will be the ones published on the Digicel website at the time your plan expires. The Grace period benefits may vary depending on your plan expiry date.  The current grace period on all prepaid plans/bundles is counted from the time your plan expires to midnight of the day of expiration of your plan/bundle. This means that once your current bundle/plan expires, you have from the time plan/bundle expires to midnight of that day to repurchase this plan and rollover your unused data and minutes. However, where any plan/bundle is repurchased during the grace period, the amount of data you can rollover will be capped at 15GBs.

How is plan validity affected?

The duration of all plans will now expire at the exact time that the plan has come to the end of its validity. This will be communicated in all relevant plan/bundle messaging.

Will my rolled over data and talk accumulate month on month?

Yes, as long as you are on a Prime bundle, you’ll never lose your unused data or talk once you renew or repurchase a plan/bundle before the plan expires while it will be capped if you repurchase during the relevant grace period.

Is there an additional cost for accessing the rollover enhancement feature?

There is no additional cost to start enjoying rollover data and talk as this is now offered as part of our Prime LTE bundles and new post-paid plans subject the terms and conditions of the offer. 

When do I lose my Rollover Data and Talk?

As long as you are on a Prime bundle and do not allow it to expire or always purchase a new bundle/plan before it expires or you pay your postpaid select plan bill on time, you’ll never lose your used data or talk. If you renew your bundle or plan after it has expired but within ‘grace period’, your rollover data will be capped at 15GBs.

How much time do I have to rollover my unused benefits?

You have up until midnight on the day your Prime bundle expires to repurchase a Prime bundle in order to rollover your unused data or voice benefits. Once you repurchase a bundle during this period, a data cap of 15GB will apply.
