Innovative new offer from Nawras gives customers free international calling minutes
Muscat, 20 February 2011 – With the introduction of a unique 6+6 offer, Nawras is delighted to be giving away six free international calling minutes for all mobile customers during off peak hours including all day on Fridays. After talking for six minutes on the regular tariff, Nawras customers can now talk for a further six minutes for free, to any international destination.
This great value offer applies to all off peak, international calls to any country, from today until 20 May 2011. Off peak hours are 8:00pm until 6:00am from Saturday to Thursday as well as all day on Fridays.
Launching the exciting new offer, Omar Al Farsi, Marketing Manager, International Traffic, explained how much customers will benefit, by saying, “This first-of-its-kind offer gives Nawras customers the opportunity to enjoy extra value every time they are calling internationally during off peak timings. Customers can talk for 12 minutes and they will only pay for six! It is now easier than ever to get closer to friends and family who are outside the Sultanate.”
To take advantage of the great savings, customers simply send an empty SMS to 80020, for the usual price of 10 Baiza. A return message will confirm the subscription and advise that more details can be seen by sending a free SMS with the keyword IntOffer to 1500.
There is no subscription fee to pay. The free minutes can be enjoyed every time customers call internationally for more than six minutes, throughout the offer period.
The 6+6 offer is for all Nawras Mousbak (prepaid) and Nawras Ajel (postpaid) customers. Such innovative offers are one of the many ways that Nawras customers get more value with creative offers that are supported as always, by pleasingly different service and excellent quality.
