RIYADH, 3 September 2007 — Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) said Saturday that customers wishing to benefit from mobile number portability could switch over by visiting any of the company’s 110 outlets spread out across the Kingdom.
Mobile number portability allows subscribers to move from one cellular operator to the other without changing their number, or the area code of the number.
Both postpaid and prepaid customers can move from the networks of other operators to Mobily free of charge, without having to visit the other operator’s offices. Mobily representatives handle all the paperwork. Numbers are ported with two to six days after customers pay their last bill to the other operator through any authorized bank in the Kingdom.
Customers moving to Mobily’s network have at least seven postpaid plans to choose from, among them two high-value postpaid packages, Khatty and Khatty Plus — both of which have flat rate calling charges to all national destinations, whether that be to other Mobily customers, fixed lines, or subscribers to other mobile networks.
Customers wishing to switch to Mobily prepaid packages can choose from two high-value packages — one of which includes a bundle of services tailored to youth’s usage and the second providing a competitive national calling rate. Customers on the go will also have access to Mobily’s innovative products and services, among them mobile broadband Internet based on latest 3.5 technology available in three affordable bundles.among them an unlimited bundle, Ranan, the ring back tone service, and many other exclusive features. Customers can call using the latest 2.5G technology, and only pay for the actual time of call.
