The BlackBerry® Smartphone offers Zain customers freedom and flexibility, allowing them to stay in contact with friends with the added bonus of being able to access any information at any time, courtesy of the Internet. All these exciting features are delivered within very highest levels of operational performance, confidentiality and security.

 “The launch of the BlackBerry® Internet Service, and other innovative services after only a relatively short time on the Saudi market, demonstrates Zain’s commitment to achieving the highest levels of service at the most competitive prices for its customers,” said Zain in Saudi Arabia’s Operational CEO, Ismail Fikri.
