Mobily offers free Internet to pilgrims

RIYADH: For the second time in a row, Mobily is offering Haj pilgrims free high-speed Internet connectivity through WiFi. Mobily’s data arm Bayanat is providing the service in Mina, Arafat an Muzdalifah. The company brought in all the technical requirements and capabilities for the pilgrims to have near-instant connectivity, and many new areas are now covered with efficient signals. Users only need to browse for Mobily’s network. They will be taken to Mobily’s service page, where they can register accounts for free. They simply enter their mobile phone numbers – including their international dialling codes – and they will get SMS messages containing their passwords.
