Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) said Saturday that customers wishing to benefit from mobile number portability could switch over by visiting any of the company's 110 outlets spread out across the Kingdom.
Mobile number portability allows subscribers to move from one cellular operator to the other without changing their number, or the area code of the number. For example, a customer whose number is 050-xxxxxxx can keep that number when moving from one network to the other, whereby the 050 area code does not change to 056 or 054.
Both postpaid and prepaid customers can move from the networks of other operators to Mobily free of charge, without having to visit the other operator's offices. Mobily representatives handle all of the paperwork. Numbers are ported with two to six days after customers pay their last bill to the other operator through any authorized bank in the Kingdom.
Customers moving to Mobily's network have at least seven postpaid plans to choose from, among them two high-value postpaid packages, Khatty and Khatty Plus - both of which have flat rate calling charges to all national destinations, whether that be to other Mobily customers, fixed lines, or subscribers to other mobile networks.
Likewise, customers wishing to switch to Mobily prepaid packages can choose from two high-value packages - one of which includes a bundle of services tailored to youth's usage and the second providing a competitive national calling rate.
Customers, who move will also have access to Mobily's innovative products and services, among them mobile broadband Internet based on the latest 3.5 technology available in three affordable bundles, among them an unlimited bundle, Ranan, the ring back tone service, and many other exclusive features.
Furthermore, customers can call using the latest 2.5G technology providing crisp and clear sound, and only pay for the actual time of the call as Mobily charges per second and not in portions of a minute or per minute as other operators do.
