Wataniya Telecom, Kuwait's leading mobile operator, has launched a new promotional roaming service for post-paid mobile users. "Roaming Without Deposit" is designed to give its post paid customers greater accessibility to roaming mobile services by eliminating the fee demanded by most operators as a deposit. The new service allows subscription to roaming services on a direct debit billing system. 

 

"Mobiles have become a huge part of our lives," said Andrei Torriani, Chief Product Development and Technology Officer, Wataniya Telecom. "From a business point of view, we are on call 24 hours a day regardless of where in the world we are. For this reason roaming services are an essential component of the services operators provide. However, many mobile users view roaming services as unattractive because of the hefty deposit charges. This service was designed to address this exact issue and ensure that our customers get what they need when they need it." 

 

"Roaming Without Deposit" provides mobile users with up to 150 KD of monthly roaming usage without the need for a deposit. Instead, billing is done through the Direct Debit Credit Card Facility provided by Wataniya. This service is a promotion throughout the summer for post-paid Wataniya Telecom customers. 

 

Subscription can be done through the Wataniya Telecom Branches, Head Sales Office or the Business and Commercial Accounts Departments. The service will be activated within 24 hours of subscription once the customer has subscribed to the direct debit payment facility. (menareport.com)
