Cell phone users will see a few extra cents added to their bills because of an increase in the Government licence fee for a mobile line.

Wireless services provider Digicel alerted its customers to the increase, which will see the fee rise from $7 to $7.35, effective April 1, 2014. This official five percent increase from Government was gazetted on Friday, March 28, 2014.

The company said its post-paid customers would see the licence fee increase to $7.35 on their April bills. Prepaid customers will see a $0.24 deduction from their daily balances, increasing from the current $0.23 daily deduction.

Digicel Bermuda CEO Wayne Caines said: “It’s very important to us that our customers know exactly what is happening and where these fees are going, which is back into our Government.”
