Comcel, at the same time, was also granted the right to build and operate payphone services and planned to have over 500 phones in Port-au-Prince and Jacmel by year-end, with expansion to other provinces in 2006.

In 2002, Comcel was granted the right to operate an international gateway and began carrying international calls in August of that year.

In August 2005, Comcel received a license to operate a nationwide GSM network that launched on October 21 with nationwide coverage under the Voilà GSM brand, which has become its trade name since.

In 2009, Comcel received the U.S. Department of State Award for Corporate Excellence (Multinational).

The company was sold to Digicel group on March 30, 2012 and ceased to operate independently on October 12, 2012.
