Nawras in Salalah Tourism Festival

Nawras, the Sultanate’s customer friendly communications provider, is announcing extremely attractive offers for both new and existing customers as part of the company’s exciting participation at this summer’s Salalah Tourism Festival. For the fourth year running Nawras will be present at this important event and using a striking new stand, manned by friendly Nawras professionals, will be showing customers how they will always get more with the Middle East Mobile Operator of the Year.

Senior management led by Nawras Chief Executive Officer, Ross Cormack, will be present for the inauguration ceremony of Dhofar Municipality’s Salalah Tourism Festival, giving an indication of the importance Nawras places on supporting such national events as well as recognising the tremendous organisation and effort that has once again been invested in this festival.

Nawras Proposition Manager, Aziz Al-Harrasi said, “We are looking forward to welcoming thousands of visitors to our unique stand where everyone can enjoy finding out more about the fantastic Khareef offers on welcome packs, 1000 free 3G+ Video Calling minutes and MMS at the amazingly low price of just 10 Baisa. Nawras is proud to be present at this national event and has put together a fabulous programme to reflect the importance of this annual Omani showcase. We are always keen to show support for community activities and to play our part in enhancing Oman’s image internationally.”

Across the Sultanate from 12th July until 31st August 2008, whenever customers purchase a Nawras Mousbak welcome pack for just RO2 they will receive free credit valued at RO2 for Nawras to Nawras calls. The credit can be used whenever customers choose to do so throughout the 30-day period following SIM-card activation and remaining credit can be checked at anytime by simply dialling *102# for free.

Those preferring a postpaid option can select a Nawras Ajel welcome pack for the special low price of only RO2 (during the same time frame) by visiting any Nawras Store or certified dealer as well as the Nawras stand at the festival ground.

At the festival ground itself there are yet more attractive offers from Nawras. All customers choosing Nawras Ajel will receive their welcome pack for free while for every purchase of a Nawras Mousbak welcome pack, customers will be given the additional value of RO1 in free recharge, making a total of RO3 free credit.

Every Friday at 7.30pm throughout the festival, Nawras will hold a weekly draw with the exciting prize of a diamond number. Everyone purchasing and activating a welcome pack at the festival ground will be eligible to enter the draw to win this great prize.

A fantastic free 3G+ Video Calling offer will be given to all customers buying their Nawras welcome pack anywhere in the Sultanate from 12th July until 31st August 2008. Each customer will receive 1000 free Video Calling minutes for use by 7th September 2008. This service, which can be used by everyone with a video screen mobile handset within the fast-growing 3G+ coverage areas, enables customers to talk to friends and family and at the same time, see them ‘live’ on their handset. Visitors can visit the Nawras stand for a demonstration of how easy this creative communication service is to use and the many possibilities it opens up.

Tempting summer offers continue with the fantastic opportunity for all Nawras customers to send unlimited MMS (picture messages) at only 10 Baisa throughout the day, after sending the first one at the regular low price of just 45 Baisa. This creative service allows the composition of messages using all forms of media including text, pictures, audio and video clips. Nawras was first to give customers more value for each message by recently announcing super-size Nawras to Nawras picture messages with capacity of up to 400KB, the largest MMS capacity available in the Sultanate today.

 

The creative new Nawras stand reflects the latest branding for the company’s 3G+ technology with a striking glass and steel tent. Nawras Broadband Internet, Mobile Info Browsing, Video Calling and Video Monitoring will be demonstrated together with the latest BlackBerry solutions from Nawras. Festival-goers will be able to board the eye-catching Nawras Mobile Store too. Parked at the Global Village, it will be displaying many of the products and services that this innovative company is well-known for, including many ‘firsts’ introduced to the Sultanate by Nawras.

All customers can benefit from the great summer offers being extended even if they are unable to visit the Salalah Tourism Festival in person. Welcome packs can be purchased from Nawras Stores and dealers around the country and full details of all Nawras offers can be found at anytime by sending a free SMS with the keyword Nawras to 1500 or visiting the company’s website at www.nawras.om.

Nawras is proud to support this important annual event which sees so many visitors in Oman from neighbouring countries and further afield. As Salalah showcases its geographical and cultural attributes, Nawras will add its own distinctive style to the proceedings by catering to the evolving communication needs of new and existing customers. In addition, Nawras is delighted to have this opportunity to serve the Sultanate’s international guests as they are roaming on the reliable Nawras network covering 96% of the population, using national roaming where necessary and always with Nawras great value.
