Umniah launches One-World roaming service

The company recently joined the new Unified International Roaming service launched by Saudi Telecom, and Batelco Bahrain to provide subscribers with One-World roaming services.

This service, which will be launched in August, 2008; will provide travellers with fixed and low cost rates for calls during their stay at these countries and based on the Company's transparent approach customers will receive a message explaining the roaming rates as well as the preferred roaming network in these respective countries.

STC, Batelco Bahrain, and Umniah will be acting as one network.

Commenting on the service launched, VAS and Roaming Manager, Mr. Mohammad Serieh said, "We are proud to be amongst the pioneering providers of the One-World Roaming service in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. By inaugurating this partnership, we are making communication easier and less costly for subscribers traveling across KSA, Bahrain and for travelers coming to Jordan,"

Aligned with its aims to make easy communications a tangible reality transcending geographical boarders, Umniah had launched International Voice Short Message service (SMS) to Palestine last March to send voice SMS messages to relatives, friends and loved ones living in Palestine, Jawal subscribers.
