St. Martin News Network - Adjustment Chippie exchange rates.

View Comments

Philipsburg:--- As of today Chippie customers will notice an adjustment in the exchange rate applied when they purchase their Chippie credit. The exchange rate of $1 to ANG 1.80 which was applied previously will be adjusted to ANG 1.79. This change was made as a result of the BES islands being required by law to maintain the new exchange rate of ANG 1.79. Due to the Chippieland concept maintained by UTS for Chippie mobile service, this new exchange rate will also be applied in St. Maarten and Curacao. 'We had to take a decision that will affect our customers' purchasing power slightly' states UTS Marketing and Communications Officer, Ivy Lambert 'To make up for the adjustment in the amount of credit received we have scheduled more calling specials and promotions to ensure that customers get their money's worth from us. The first in the planned specials is a weekend-rate special on international calls over the holiday season. We believe our customers will appreciate such a promotion as we all call our friends and family abroad more during the holiday season.
The rate reductions will start this coming weekend and will entail a reduction of 50% on calls to most popular international destinations between the hours of 8 pm on Friday until 8pm on Sunday.' Selected destinations will include the USA, the Netherlands, the islands of the former Netherlands Antilles, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and a lot of other regional destinations. Customers can call the UTS Contact Center at 542-0101 to inquire if calls to their favorite destination are also part of the weekend rates special. 'This promotion is a taste of things to come to ensure that our customers continue to get the most bang for their buck when using Chippie mobile service' Lambert continues. 'We appreciate our customers' business and believe that we need to continuously show them that we value them as our customers.'
