Batelco 'Goes International' with new roaming promotion

Visitors to Bahrain who use Batelco's mobile service will be eligible to win cash prizes in addition to enjoying the other benefits of switching onto the Batelco network - such as GPRS and MMS roaming and a reliable, clear service.

Visiting roamers - including those who are visiting Bahrain for the Grand Prix on April 3rd - will have the chance to win a first prize and six runners up prizes.

To enter Batelco's Roaming promotion, all customers have to do is manually select 'Batelco', 'M.plus' or '426-01' on their handset upon arrival in Bahrain. For every 5 minutes of accumulated calls made on the Batelco network, visiting roamers will automatically be entered into the the raffle. The longer a roamer stays on the network, the more chances there are to win.

"We are delighted to give our international customers this chance to win some great cash prizes," says Hamza Ali, Senior Manager - Batelco Mobile Services.

"We understand that our business is dependent on our customers' satisfaction and everyone at Batelco is continuously working towards ensuring that we offer our customers the best possible products and services. Our cash prize programmes are specifically designed to reward our loyal customers and highlight the fact that Batelco offers the best service and value-for-money in the market.

"Batelco is proud to be the only telecoms operator offering full services on GPRS roaming to visitors of the Kingdom of Bahrain continued Hamza. "this service enables mobile customers traveling both to and from Bahrain to send and receive MMS messages and browse the Internet through GPRS directly from their mobile phones while on the go."

Our unrivalled service and product portfolio - together with the great cash prizes that we're offering our customers - is part of Batelco's aim to make communication even more enjoyable, fun and convenient for all our customers."
