Omantel offers new Nano SIM ahead of the iPhone 5 arrival

The iPhone 5 which is the first Nano-SIM-enabled device in the world was announced by Apple on 12th September 2012 but first buyers started receiving their devices only last Friday in few countries around the world. The device hit the local market this week.

Commenting on this, Saleem Ahmed Abdullatiff General Manager Marketing at Omantel Consumer Business Unit, "We believe it is essential to ensure our readiness to enable our customers to use this state-of-the-art device ahead of its expected arrival to the domestic market".

"Omantel procured the new Nano sim-cards weeks ahead of the announcement of the launch of iPhone 5 thus ensuring that our customers are able to use iPhone 5 as it reaches the local market. Unlocked iPhone 5 is supported with our 3.5G network and we are currently testing the compatibility of the device with our 4G LTE," Abdullatiff concluded.

Omantel said that Nano simcards are offered at the same cost of regular sim-cards and customers can opt for dual sims (a combination of any two standard sim, micro-sim or nano sim) to swap between devices that support different types of sim-cards when needed.
