KUWAIT: Wataniya Telecom has announced a reduction in the roaming call rates for GCC countries based on the (GCC) Telecommunications Ministers Committee's decision taken recently. Emphasizing on this point, Scott Gegenheimer, General Manager and CEO of Wataniya Telecom said, "We are committed to the decision which was issued based on a recommendation made by the Ministerial Committee of Mail, Telecommunications and Information Technology.

At Wataniya, we pay close attention to the needs and interests of our customers. We want to offer them the best value and experience therefore we have decided to implement this pronouncement as soon as possible. This is to ensure that our customers can benefit from lower call rates when traveling to GCC countries.

Wataniya will continue to innovate on its roaming offers to differentiate from the competitors and provide customers with alternatives to reduce their costs while roaming. For customers with high demand on calls back to Kuwait we have designed "Call Back Home", a simple way for the user to dial a short-code when calling any mobile or land line number in Kuwait to enjoy discount up to 50% on the regular price.
