Up to 21Mbps Mobile Broadband from as low as BD8 per Month
Manama, Bahrain: Batelco, the Kingdom's leading mobile services provider has announced a new concept for its mobile broadband services with the addition of unlimited data packages based on a Fair Usage Policy (FUP). Thanks to this great initiative, Batelco's mobile broadband customers can enjoy unlimited data and up to 21Mbps bandwidth with rates starting from as low as BD8 per month. Most importantly, customers will still be able to access the internet even if they exceed their allocated usage threshold, while paying no additional charges.
To acccommodate the changing needs of its mobile broadband customers, Batelco has introduced two new bolt-on packages. For customers with regular email and browsing needs on their smartphone, Batelco recommends the BD8 Package and for those with heavier usage needs, the BD11 Package should be ideal:-
BD8 PACKAGE | |
Rental | BD8 |
FUP (Fair Usage Policy) | 1GB |
Throttling Option | Download 512 Kbps Upload 128 Kpbs |
BD11 PACKAGE | |
Rental | BD11 |
FUP (Fair Usage Policy) | 4GB |
Throttling Option | Download 512 Kbps Upload 128 Kpbs |
The Bolt-On Data Packages which are ideal for smartphone users can be added by sending a text message to 4554. To add either the BD8 Package or the BD11 Package, send the SMS 'AU1' or "AU2" respectively, to 4554. Once subscribed customers' accounts will be automatically updated with their chosen unlimited package each month. To unsubscribe, customers may send the SMS 'DGB' to 4554.
Batelco General Manager Media Relations Ahmed Al Janahi said that Batelco's investment in its next generation network enables the Company to deliver such innovative services to its customers.
"Batelco has introduced these new Fair Usage data packages to suit the ever changing needs of its customers. With so many people utilising mobile broadband these days, we are constantly revising our offerings to ensure we keep pace with our customers' requirements. Many customers have asked for high speeds with unlimited usage for a fixed price and we believe these new deals fit the bill perfectly."
The two new mobile data packages are available for Batelco's postpaid customers.
