Launch of New 30 GB Smart Plan

Among the new developments announced by Digitel is the introduction of a 30 GB plan, designed for users requiring a higher data volume. Priced at 1,067.75 bolivars, this plan is a mid-range option for users seeking a balance between cost and data volume. The addition of the 30 GB plan to Digitel’s portfolio reflects the company’s strategy to diversify its options and meet the needs of different types of users, from moderate consumers to heavy mobile data users.

According to Mireya Blavia de Cisneros, the 30 GB plan addresses a significant market demand and has been calculated based on the official exchange rate from the Central Bank of Venezuela, which was 42.71 bolivars per dollar on November 1, 2024.

The company reiterates its commitment to the country, offering rates aligned with the economic reality and adapting its product portfolio to meet its clients' changing needs.
