Prayers Answered For Samoan Reverends

Prayers Answered For Samoan Reverends With Flights Win From Digicel

Monday, 4 October – Auckland:

Rev Sina Vaa from Wainuiomata in Lower Hutt had her prayers answered this morning when she was drawn as the first winner in the Digicel Send Top Up Home competition, winning two return flights to Samoa courtesy of Air New Zealand.

Sina and her husband Feleti, who are both Ministers with the Congregational Church of Jesus, moved to New Zealand from Faleaseela in Samoa in mid 2009 and have recently started using Digicel’s new Top Up Your Friends & Family service to keep in touch with family at home.

On Saturday morning Sina bought a 20$ Digicel Top Up voucher from the Norfolk Street Foodmarket in Wainuiomata and used it to send Top Up credit to the mobile phone of her nephew Nico back in Samoa.

This act of generosity by the loving aunt entered Sina into Digicel Send Top Up Home draw which sees everybody who sends 20$ or more Digicel Top Up back to the Islands eligible to win Air New Zealand flights to Samoa, Tonga or Fiji. A second lucky winner will be drawn on 10 November 2010.

Sina and her husband were delighted with the news when they got the call this morning and were very quick to confirm Samoa as their preferred destination of the three on offer from Air New Zealand..

Rev. Feleti Vaa said, “We are very excited and grateful to Digicel and Air New Zealand for this wonderful prize. We can now look forward a trip back home to Samoa to see our families and we cannot wait to tell everybody the good news back home.”

Digicel Samoa Marketing Manager Talia (Jr) Lene said; “It’s great to be able offer a prize like this and help keep families to stay connected between New Zealand and Samoa. The new Digicel Send Top Up Home service is a great new gift option for Pacific Islanders living in New Zealand with no fees attached and great exchange rates Digicel mobile international calling rates from Samoa and Tonga to New Zealand are significantly better value than calling rates available in New Zealand and we believe that this service will provide another way to help families, friends and church groups stay connected.”

The Digicel Top Up Your Friends & Family service was launched in July offering the Pacific Island community in New Zealand a new option for sending value or a gift to friends and family back home. Customers can now buy Digicel mobile Top Up vouchers from their local dairy or convenience store, available in $15, $20, $30 and $50s, and can then send the Top Up credit to any Digicel prepaid phone in the Pacific via www.digicelrecharge.com or via 0800 34 44 235 (or 09 9652715). See www.digicerecharge.com for more details.

Digicel Top Up can be applied to any of Digicel’s 1.6 million customers in Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, Nauru and PNG in the value of the local currently – and with no fees attached.
