Mobily launches roaming promotion for travellers (Saudi Arabia)

Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) launched a high-value roaming promotion Thursday for travellers visiting the Kingdom, according to a statement issued by the company.
Relatives and friends visiting the Kingdom during the Umrah and Hajj season, and roaming with their mobiles will have a chance to win one million Saudi riyals, if they use Mobily’s network.
Once they arrive in the Kingdom, all that travelers need to do is set their mobile phone to roam on “Mobily.”
The promotion, which effectively begins at the start of Ramadan each year, lasts until the end of the Hajj season. Due to the popularity of the promotion, the prize was doubled from last year’s SAR 500,000 to one million riyals this year. Last year, Younes Abdulaziz Khalil Ibrahim won the half a million riyal prize.
What makes Mobily’s network worth roaming on, is the quality of calling on the network itself, roaming charges as
compared to other operators, and the fact that Mobily has excellent interconnect and roaming agreements with
operators around the world, allowing guests visiting the Kingdom the ability to make and receive calls from almost anywhere in the world, send and receive SMS and MMS messages from customers subscribed to almost any operator.
