Under the FLA, Digitel was granted the exclusive right to lease, manage, maintain, operate, develop and eventually own the said DOTC facilities.

In February 1994, Digitel was granted a national franchise to provide domestic and international telecommunications services throughout the Philippines.

In September 1994, Digitel was granted by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) a provisional authority to operate an international gateway facility (IGF).

On August 7, 2000, Digitel was granted by the NTC a Provisional Authority (PA), authorizing it to construct, install, operate and maintain a Nationwide Cellular Mobile Telephone System (CMTS) using Global System for Mobile (GSM) and/or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology.

Sun Cellular eventually ceased to operate on April 25, 2022, following its integration with PLDT's wireless firm, Smart Communications.
