du introduces unified roaming tariff

Dubai: UAE telecom provider du has simplified roaming charges by introducing a unified set of attractive roaming rates for the first time in the UAE.

du mobile subscribers can enjoy calling local numbers and receiving calls at just Dh1.25 per minute, while roaming in the GCC region

The unified rates come into effect immediately without any extra charges and will be available by default to all du customers while they roam in the GCC region.

du mobile customers can choose any telecom operator during roaming in the GCC while still benefitting from this attractive scheme.

Farid Faraidooni, EVP Commercial, du, said: "The unified roaming tariff is a reflection of our commitment to simplify the lives of our customers. It means our customers no longer need to keep track of the various complicated roaming charges used in the GCC region.''

After having launched the Haj roaming promotion, which provides the benefit of free incoming calls to its mobile subscribers roaming in Saudi Arabia during the Holy period of Haj, du introduces another breakthrough innovation in the international roaming services.

While roaming in the GCC, du Monthly Plan subscribers can make and receive calls, send and receive SMS and MMS, access high speed mobile internet, use BlackBerry® services and video calling.
