Furthermore, Alfa prepaid users can now subscribe to the "Invisible" service (the possibility of keeping the caller's number anonymous).
It is worth mentioning that, since April 3, 2009, Alfa has cut down the cost of the GPRS service. Consequently, all Alfa's postpaid subscribers are benefitting from the new prices.
It is worth noting that, since April 8, 2009, the cost of MMS messages sent via prepaid cards is fixed at a very low price.
In parallel to the new offers that were introduced lately, Alfa has also launched an extensive upgrading and modernization process including the installation of new base transmission stations all over Lebanon.
