Nawras provides Blackberry and Internet Customers with the highest speeds through 3G+

Nawras, the Middle East Mobile Operator of the Year is delighted to be the only mobile operator in the Sultanate to offer 3G+ (third generation mobile services), giving customers the highest internet data speeds for wireless Broadband Internet and Mobile Info Browsing. Nawras provides the tools for customers to get more communication advantages in more places; not only when in Oman but importantly, when travelling outside the country too.

With the exciting introduction of 3G+, today’s Nawras customer can access extremely fast wireless Broadband Internet in most areas of Muscat and Sohar, as well as parts of the key cities of Sur, Salalah and Nizwa. The 3G+ network is in the process of being rolled out to the rest of the country, according to a strategic plan based on customer demand.

The new 3G+ highest speed internet connection is instantly available from any Nawras Store so customers can be enjoying Broadband Internet within hours, be it at home, on the move or in the office. Friendly professionals will advise customers on the ideal purchase to match their specific usage, explaining how purchasing and setting-up a USB modem, Option GlobeSurfer or Ericsson W25 wireless router, couldn’t be simpler or more straightforward.

The E220 USB modem is ideal for the single user and comes in a sleek and simple plug-and-play design, priced at just RO 89. Nawras customers who previously purchased this device and are using it within the 3G+ coverage areas, have already noticed and appreciated the high speed advantages.

Wireless routers are the recommended internet connection for multiple users, who simply insert a Nawras SIM-card into the device of their choice and run through the easy set-up procedure. Two models have been tested and selected by Nawras: the Option GlobeSurfer for RO 159 and the Ericsson W25 for RO 189.

Four different price plans for Broadband Internet and Mobile Info Browsing have been introduced to cater for everyone from the light user upwards, whether Nawras Mousbak (prepaid) or Nawras Ajel (postpaid).

Using the new 3G+ speed for Mobile Info Browsing on their mobile phones, customers will be delighted to notice content appearing almost instantly with email, calendar and contact synchronisation now being completed within seconds. Not restricted to Muscat alone, Nawras customers can conveniently use their handsets to take advantage of this service in all the other major cities covered with 3G+. Customers are invited to visit the website at www.nawras.om for a simple guide on setting up their mobile phone to begin using Nawras Mobile Email.

To enjoy the new services of Broadband Internet, Mobile Info Browsing, Video Calling and Video Monitoring, Nawras customers simply use their existing SIM-cards in a 3G-enabled handset or computer, within any 3G+ coverage area. New customers choosing to port in from the other operator can do exactly the same without losing their personal number or being required to pay any kind of porting fee.

In the near future, Nawras will be providing customers with WiFi spots in all the popular coffee shops in Muscat, to allow them to test the fantastic advantages in terms of speed and quality, provided by 3G+.

Having already signed up the first 3G+ International Roaming partners including Kuwait, Nawras is paving the way for the highest internet data speed to be available for its valued customers to enjoy when visiting other countries too.

In addition, Nawras has just signed an agreement with its 70th International Data Roaming partner covering 30 countries including all those in the GCC. This means customers using their Nawras SIM-card are given easy access to emails together with the ability to check calendar and contact details or surf the web not only in Oman but conveniently, when travelling abroad, including to the most popular destinations, of the UK, UAE or Saudi Arabia. All major travel and tourist destinations are covered and new partners added on a regular basis.

Nawras first introduced International Data Roaming almost two years ago, crucially allowing visitors from all its partner countries to benefit from the same great service when travelling to Oman, simply using their own mobile phone or PDA like BlackBerry on the Nawras network. Many satisfied customers have been happily using this service for emails, calls and SMS services, just as if they were in their home country.

Those customers not yet covered by 3G+ can rest assured that they are still enjoying the reliable Nawras network based on EDGE technology, which has been consistently giving high speed, top quality coverage to more than 92% of the population. With great value and pleasingly different service, Nawras continues to be the fastest growing family in Oman.
