Nawras launches the latest WiFi modem with new customer-friendly features
Muscat, 2 March 2011 – Introducing the latest model of WiFi modem for customers in Oman, this sleek device from Nawras is the most affordable in the market and the easiest to use. After subscribing to any 3G+ Broadband plan, customers can buy the new E5 II modem for only 43 Omani Rials and up to five customers are then able to get closer by creating their own WiFi spot. The modem even comes with a free Nawras Ajel (post paid) SIM card included in the price.
With an advanced OLED screen, the new E5 II shows helpful details like ‘insert SIM card’ and ‘SMS received’ and displays battery strength, how many customers are using the device, whether the modem is connected to the internet and signal strength.
Like all Nawras products, the modem has been fully tested prior to today’s launch and is ready to be used as soon as it comes out of the box. Customers simply enter their password.
Nawras Mousbak (prepaid) customers can use the modem to recharge, check their balance and subscribe to a range of internet bundles, all offering great value for different styles of usage.
The modem supports English and Arabic language and the featured Micro SD card slot allows it to function as a flash drive for convenient storage of data. Purchase of the modem without an internet plan is 49 Rials including a free Nawras Ajel SIM card.
Mohsin Khan, Device Manager, said, “The new E5II modem allows customers to create their personal own WiFi hotspot. A variety of devices like smartphones, iPods, tablets, laptops or PlayStations can be used with the E5II modem via WiFi. This modem has more features than its predecessor but is selling for 20 Rials less so it is offering great value as you would expect from Nawras.”
The E5II modem, along with many other great products and services, can be tested at any Nawras Store where the friendly professionals are ready to help customers make the right decision for their individual needs and usage styles.
Nawras is the only operator in Oman to provide customers with a caring and dedicated team of mobile internet specialists who help when needed to set up internet access for individual customers or businesses, in and around the capital city.
In recognition of its pleasingly different style of customer care, Nawras, a Qtel Group company, was honoured in 2010 with the award for ‘Customer Service Provider of the Year Middle East and Africa’ by CommsMEA, for the second year running.
