Get Two Months Free Broadband Internet When you Celebrate One Year Of Nawras 3g+

Nawras is celebrating one year of successfully providing 3G+ services in the Sultanate with an exciting offer of two months’ free Broadband Internet subscription for every customer purchasing a new Nawras Broadband Internet modem or router. With modem choices ranging from as little as RO25 during the promotion, there has never been a better time to experience the many advantages of Nawras Broadband Internet and to see why this is the fastest growing internet choice in Oman.

“This is a great opportunity to try postpaid Broadband Internet in Oman for free and to gain firsthand experience of the great value and excellent quality delivered by Nawras everyday,” said Vivendra de Silva, Nawras Proposition Manager – Business, as he outlined the exciting proposal. “This is an easy way to experience a fantastic free internet service and better still, it’s available right away. Customers can walk into any Nawras Store today, purchase a modem or router and start enjoying Nawras Broadband Internet within hours.”

He added, “At the end of this two-month trial offer period, customers will have saved as much as RO58 as they can potentially download up to 3,500 songs or spend over 120 hours surfing the internet – all for free. Customers will also have a clear idea of their regular usage pattern, making it easy to select the Nawras Internet plan best suited to their requirements going forward.”

To access the internet, Nawras offers a choice of modems and routers ranging from the new Sony Ericsson PC 300 card which slots into a laptop and is priced at just RO25, up to the Ericsson W25 router at RO169, designed for multiple users in homes or businesses.

In addition to the PC300 card, the Nawras E220 modem, recently reduced to the lower price of only RO59, includes the added bonus of a free Nawras Ajel welcome pack.

It’s easy to get started. After purchasing a modem and inserting an activated Nawras Ajel SIM-card, it is simply a matter of plugging the PC300 device into a laptop and installing the software and with an E220 modem, it’s just plug and play on a laptop or desktop. Customers can immediately begin to enjoy their free data usage while surfing the web or sending and receiving emails, for example.

Mobility is a major plus with the E220 and the new Ericsson PC300 card. Customers gain instantly available, high speed Broadband Internet at home, in the office or anywhere they may be within the extensive and reliable Nawras Network coverage spanning 95% of the Sultanate’s population

Celebrating the first successful year of 3G+, this special Broadband Internet modem and router offer is running until 30th January 2009 with the free subscription starting on the day the internet connection is purchased from any one of the 18 Nawras Stores spread nationwide. Customers can be confident that Nawras Broadband Internet has no risks and absolutely no strings attached.

Routers can be chosen as an alternative to a modem to give a local wireless internet access suitable for office or home. The choice includes the OPTION Globe Surfer, which also provides for connection of a standard telephone, providing both internet and voice services from a single router. Incredibly, this router is available for the offer period only, at the amazingly low price of just RO99. This represents a huge saving of over 60% from the regular price of RO159.

Routers take about 10 minutes to install and customers can rest assured that with Nawras Customer Service and the specialist Nawras Internet team, there is always the security and confidence that any internet installation or usage needs will be met swiftly and efficiently by this award-winning company.

Data usage is free during the promotion according to the entitlement of the Silver or Gold plan chosen. The only payment to be made is the regular monthly Nawras Ajel subscription fee of RO3 for the postpaid SIM-card and if and when necessary, an excess data charge applicable when data consumption runs over and above the generous monthly free usage for the chosen plan.

At the end of the trial period, customers are invited to continue with either the Silver plan entitling them to 1GB of free data usage per month for RO 19 or the Gold plan at RO29 including 10GB free data usage. Additional data usage, over and above this amount is charged at RO5 per GB on the silver plan and RO4 per GB on the Gold Plan as it is during the offer period too.

Although not included in the offer, Nawras also provides a pay-as-you-go Broadband Internet plan priced at just half-a-Baisa per KB which is ideally suited to those with very low data usage. Catering to the other extreme, Nawras Platinum Plan was designed primarily with businesses in mind and includes 30GB of data usage. This is Oman’s fastest mobile Broadband Internet service for just RO99 per month. These two plans, along with BlackBerry from Nawras and International Roaming services, are excluded from the current offer.

This exciting opportunity means customers can try Broadband Internet with the lowest ever modem prices as Nawras continues to encourage an ever wider audience to benefit from the use of internet and information technology, in support of His Majesty’s 2020 Vision in terms of bridging the digital divide.
