Wataniya Telecom launches Mobile in-flight roaming service onboard of regional and international airlines

Wataniya Telecom, Kuwait's Red Carpet Co. proudly launches Mobile in-flight roaming service onboard of regional and international airlines which will be effectively operational on June 1st, 2008... The company sets for a new landmark as being the first operator in Kuwait to roll out this leading service which responds perfectly to customer's inquiry for an ongoing communication on land as well as in sky.

The new service enables roaming customers to use their GSM mobile phones during flights - after takeoff and before landing; they only need international roaming subscription, then simply to switch on their mobile phones to make a call, send and receive text messages as well as data application.

"The service is in line with Wataniya's endeavors to enhance customers' mobile experience with relevant and friendly-user services", says Scott Gegenheimer, GM & CEO of Wataniya Telecom. "We are aware that customers would like to stay connected with families members, friends and businesses even when they travel; therefore we provide them with the convenient solution through the onboard roaming service, which we know for sure, that it will add both comfort and value to them through high standards of communication's mode."

The service requires no additional subscription; regular roaming rates will apply to call, text messages, and data charges which will be billed by Wataniya.

"Wataniya is committed to enhance customer's satisfaction by constantly tailoring creative services matching their life style", says Gegenheimer who has confirmed that the company is determined to maintain its technology leadership with state-of-the-art offerings of customers-made services which ideally cater to their needs.
