Nawras Data Roaming Service Covers All GCC
Another First

Nawras, the Omani Qatari Telecommunications Company, the Sultanate’s customer-friendly communications provider, announced the launch of Data Roaming with Wataniya-Kuwait and by this Nawras is now the only mobile operator in Oman, which provides Data Roaming in all GCC countries.

Nawras has been the clear leader in bringing new and innovative roaming services to the mobile customers of Oman. Nawras was first to introduce Data Roaming (also called GPRS Roaming), which is a wireless data service that connects you to the Internet, WAP and your e-mails through your mobile phone when you are traveling. Nawras Ajel postpaid customers roaming abroad, can now stay in contact with their family or business colleagues by sending and receiving e-mails, downloading files or simply browsing the Internet from their mobile phone, PDA or a PC (with a Nawras Internet installed).

As of today the Data Roaming service is available in the UAE (Etisalat), Qatar (Q-Tel), Bahrain (MTC Vodafone), Saudi Arabia (Mobily) and Kuwait (Wataniya).

Commenting on this success, Jesper Larsen, Nawras Head of Product Management and International Roaming commented, “We at Nawras are always looking for services to allow for our valued customers to get closer to their business colleagues, families and friends, wherever they are, and in this respect Nawras has gone the extra mile once again to ensure we offer the people of Oman exciting services even while roaming abroad. By making Data Roaming available in all GCC countries, we have delivered another “Nawras first”, through delivering our promise to offer the best service, best quality and best value to our customers.”

The Data Roaming service is provided without any additional settings necessary, as all Nawras customers are automatically receiving all the required settings once they activate SIM card. Furthermore, the service is provided without any setup or fixed monthly fees, as customers only pay for the data transferred. Through the new pricing structure for International Roaming, effective since 16th March 2006, Nawras offers its Ajel customers the most competitive International Roaming prices in the Sultanate, in which Nawras only adds a 15% administration fee on the top of the fees charged by the visited mobile network. This pricing structure allows Nawras customers to benefit from best value and a transparent and easy to understand price plan.

Nawras offers best value through its very competitive and transparent price plans, wide range of services for both prepaid and postpaid customers, as well as a number of services (e.g. Missed Call Notice) included free of charge.
