MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain) connects youth with '7ada eeZee'

MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain) is connecting Bahrain's young people with its latest prepaid package, 7ada eeZee.

Pronounced "haadaa eeZee", in English the name means "easy to the extreme". Using an innovative combination of attractive tariffs, voice and data services, 7ada eeZee's launch this week signals the beginnings of a new mobile community for young people and a hub for instant communication. This concept builds on a key aspect of today's youth culture, which relies on telecoms technology to provide immediate and "always on" communication.

7ada eeZee has been designed by MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain) to appeal to young people between the ages of 16 to 25 who are particularly attracted to "cool" new technologies.

7ada eeZee can be customized to reflect an individual's personality with the option of personalised phone numbers and a wide selection of connecting tunes including the latest chart music, comedy clips, and Q'uranic Sura extracts. In addition, with one free SMS message per day and an unlimited number of rebates of BD2 for every BD10 of calls or messages made, the package is tailored to suit the budgets of Bahrain's young mobile users.

Dr Ahmed Alshatti, Chief Operating Officer of MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain), said: "By reaching out to the young people of Bahrain with custom-designed products, MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain) is helping to keep youngsters connected and providing an opportunity to express their identity.

"We are confident that our young customers will really enjoy using this fun and friendly product. Sharing experiences with friends and making new friends using 7ada eeZee will create a new mobile lifestyle for our young people."

Mr Ali Darwish, Segment Manager and Consumer Prepaid Specialist at MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain), said: "The potential in the under-25 segment is enormous due to Bahrain's large youth population. We are designing products that recognise and match the needs of this group."

"7ada eeZee echoes the creativity of our youth and adds a trendy touch to communication with its excellent package of features including an MMS capacity of up to 300kbs. This technology allows full utilisation of video messaging which has become a way of life within this age group. In addition, users can create and name their own portable messaging forum to chat with friends wherever and whenever they want. There will be no excuse not to keep in touch with the latest vibes."
