Customers purchasing the brand new Nokia N95 8GB device will earn 40,000 Skywards Miles, which can be used to book a return ticket for themselves, their family or friends to an Emirates destination of their choice. The new Nokia N95 8GB has a larger screen as well as 8GB phone memory.

Axiom announced its partnership with Skywards in June 2007. As part of the program, Axiom offers special promotions for Skywards members on a regular basis. Since the announcement, thousands of people have taken advantage of this unique offer.

"We are extremely excited by the positive response we have received from our customers since announcing our partnership with Skywards. Our first bundle offer was very well received in the market and we predict the same response for the Nokia promotion," said Faisal Al Bannai, CEO, Axiom Telecom.

How this promotion works


Existing Skywards members will have to quote their Skywards membership details at Axiom stores when purchasing the Nokia N95 8GB bundle offer. Within a maximum of four weeks, the Skywards Miles will be added directly to the customer's Skywards account.

Upon purchase of the Nokia device at Axiom, customers, who are not Skywards members, can fill in a membership application form and be allocated a Skywards membership number instantly.
Axiom offers its customers the facility to pre-book new products, try products before purchasing them and get product support.
