Digicel is a mobile phone network provider covering parts of Oceania, Central America, and the Caribbean regions. The company is owned by Irishman Denis O'Brien, is incorporated in Bermuda, and based in Jamaica. It provides mobile services in 26 countries and territories throughout the Caribbean and Central America with more than six million wireless users. Meanwhile its sister operation Digicel Pacific to date (June 2010) operates in seven markets in the South Pacific (Fiji, French Polynesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga, and Vanuatu).

The company's largest competitor in the Caribbean region is LIME. In March of 2011, Digicel sold it's operations in Honduras and El Salvador to Mexican telecom giant America Movil, in turn America Movil sold all of its operations in Jamaica to Digicel. The latter actions strengthened America Movil's dominance of the Latin American market, while Digicel strengthened its hold on its domestic market.
