Qatar: Qtel makes post-paid play
- Text size
DOHA: QtelQtel
yesterday launched a new range of call packages for its renamed postpaid mobile service --Shahry Pay Monthly--offering overall savings of up to 39 percent over standard prices. For the first time, customers will be able to select one free number for which they can make unlimited calls to; a range of call minutes, SMS, MMS and internet download options. The new packages are part of an ongoing wave of improvements planned by the company for 2009 and they will be available on a permanent basis.
The four new value packs include the advanced Shahry 575 and Shahry 300, which enable customers to have one free QtelQtel number they can select to make unlimited calls to. The free number will enable customers to select a particular friend or colleague they call regularly and never have to pay for mobile calls to that person's number again. In addition, customers will be able to change that number once a month.
The Shahry 575 and Shahry 300 Value Packs also offer a range of call minutes (2,000 call minutes for Shahry 575, 1,000 for Shahry 300), SMS (200 for Shahry 575, 100 for Shahry 300), up to 100 MMS and 10 MB of internet download as part of the respective packages. A flat monthly fee will cover customers to the maximum call minutes, SMS and MMS required.
The standard Shahry package, which does not have built-in call minutes and 3G services, will still be available at the low price of QR50 per month. If the customers want to change their value pack at anytime, they have to call 111 and the QtelQtel call centre will help them move up, down or out of the value pack schemes.
Customers changing over from the HALA Pay As You Talk service do not have to pay a fee to convert to the Shahry packages and the connection fee for new account holders has been reduced from QR150 to QR50.
With the combined services factored in, the top-end Shahry 575 package provides savings of up to 39 percent on standard rates. Shahry 130 offers 300 call minutes, 30 SMS, 10 MMS and 1MB of internet downloads, while Shahry 200 provides 600 call minutes, 60 SMS, 40 MMS and 2MB of internet downloads.
These packages are completely optional for customers-they can remain on the standard service if they so choose or they can subscribe to a value pack. The existing postpaid customers can also switch over to one of the new packages without any additional fee.
If the customers want to change their value pack at anytime, they have to call 111 and the QtelQtel call centre will help them move up, down or out of the value pack schemes.
