THE mega phone-card-distributor Cool Cards has been appointed as a distributor for Digicel mobile calling cards.

Cool Cards objective is to have recharge calling cards, both plastic and electronic, available “no more than a short walk from anywhere in Trinidad and Tobago”.

So says General Manager Jeffrey Mc Farlane as he expressed excitement over the appointment and commented that: “Digicel is a major partner for us and we have been very lucky to work with them and other mobile companies, thus offering our customers a true one-stop shop for all their calling card needs.

“The Digicel appointment in TnT is certainly a great first step into the market and we have big expectations.”

Cool Cards is arguably the leading calling card distributor in the region, selling more than 30 million cards annually in Jamaica and have taken the mobile calling card market to new levels with innovative and impactful marketing and distribution methods.

Cool Cards is a member of the vibrant and diverse Cool Corp. group, which has just clinched a deal, in conjunction with a major TnT group, to acquire the 56 Shell gas stations in Jamaica ... another example of CARICOM/CSME at work.

Mc Farlane added that: “Cool Cards can offer an extreme service since all we do is cards.

“We have a winning formula of availability and believe in providing value added rewards for purchasers.”

Interestingly, for Cool Cards Managing Director, Andrew Grant, this is in a way like “coming home” as his family have been in Trinidad for more than 100 years.

His grandfather was the former WI cricket captain, Rolph Grant, and his great grandfather was T.Geddes Grant.

Cool Card has been aggressively recruiting “cool” individuals for their launch team and the local operation is already geared up and ready to start their aggressive service thrust pending Digicel’s start of service locally.
