Digicel PNG has changed its network name to “Wasim han gut Digicel”.
It is not a new network. The name change attempts to reinforce the Health Department’s messages about practicing basic hygiene and is part of the company’s efforts in helping PNG battle COVID-19.
Around 1.5 million handsets will notice this change while others may not as this depends on the type of handset.
The company hopes that when users look at their handsets, they will be reminded to wash their hands.
