The Caribbean mobile phone company Digicel Group says it’s acquired a rival business in Haiti.
The Jamaica-based private group says in a Monday news release that it’s purchased Voila from its parent company, U.S.-based Trilogy International Partners, for an undisclosed amount.
Under the Friday deal, the two companies will continue to run separately.

Digicel opened its Haiti branch in 2005. It’s since become the country’s biggest employer and has 3.5 million customers.
Its lone competitor is now Natcom, a joint venture created last year between Vietnam’s Viettel and the Haitian government to replace the state-run Teleco.
