    Nawras reaps benefits of COMEX and signs new contracts.
CEO Ross Cormack attended the opening ceremony of this annual event and returned later to sign an agreement with the company's newest premium dealer, Al Fasil Trading.

Qais Al Baloushi, owner of Al Fasil Trading in Barka, signed the contract during the ceremony which was also attended by Nawras chief commercial officer Tore Solberg, head of Nawras indirect channels, Abdul Aziz Al Hinai and other senior members of the company.

Extending a warm welcome to Qais Al Baloushi, Cormack, said:
"We are delighted to support Al Fasil Trading and we thank you for choosing to work with Nawras. We look forward to a long and successful partnership as we work together to deliver pleasingly different service for the benefit of our mutual customers."


The latest Nawras dealer responded with enthusiasm, explaining, "There are many reasons that led me to choose Nawras, with the most important one being Nawras people. They are really professional and supportive. When they promise to do something, they do it properly and on time. They came to visit my shop when they said they would and finished all the necessary formalities within a week."

Al Baloushi added, "Nawras staff surprised me when they organised the signing agreement at COMEX with Ross Cormack, the Nawras CEO himself. It made me feel very confident and optimistic about this project. I would like to thank Nawras for all the support I have received for this partnership."

Nawras, a Qtel Group company, noted a high level of interest shown by corporate customers visiting its stand at COMEX. People were searching for reliable communication solutions that would provide their companies with convenience, great value and excellent quality. Visitors were especially keen to learn more about Nawras Business Solutions including the latest elements of conference calling, fax service and CSD.

Throughout COMEX, Nawras was also represented by premium distributors Mohsin Haider Darwish and Fono as well as premium dealer Technical Modern Centre. Handsets, personal computers and laptops were being sold with Nawras SIM-cards providing the vital communication link.

When Nawras launched in 2005, the telecommunications landscape in the Sultanate of Oman changed forever. This award winning mobile service provider made it easy for customers to buy SIM-cards and recharge cards wherever they may be in the Sultanate. With an extensive distribution network that continues to flourish, today Nawras customers have a choice of around 15,000 places to buy a recharge card from and over 1000 points of sale for Nawras products and services.

Nawras currently covers 96% of the population with its reliable EDGE network and over 40% with its trusted 3G+ network.
