Subscribers to Mobily’s prepaid and postpaid services can enjoy nightly international calls for a mere 66 halalas per minute, the company announced on Saturday.
As of Saturday and until 3 August 2009, international calls made between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM the following morning will be charged at this rate. The offer is not valid for subscribers of the Rehal visitor’s plan.
The rate works for all countries except Ethiopia, Somalia, Lichtenstein, Afghanistan, Sao Tome and Principe.
On the other hand, Bayanat Al-Oula, Mobily’s data arm, launched a new speed for its hugely popular WiMax service. With 512 kilobits per second, users now have a much broader choice of speeds.
With the new speed, Bayanat launched a new promotion in which subscribers can get a WiFi modem plus three months’ subscription for only SR555.
Subscribers can renew their subscriptions after the first three months had elapsed for only SR199 a month, or another SR555 for another three months. This is perfectly suitable for those who seek fast browsing and downloads, considering that the subscription is only SR255 per month, plus SR300 for the modem. Subscribers can also revert to a 2-mbps plan if they so wish.
