Ooredoo has announced the launch of ‘Hala Business International’, the company’s best value Hala bundles for businesses in Qatar that need to maintain effective cost control while they conduct their international business.
Hala Business International plans offer a basic bundle of key services, including international call minutes and local data. When the monthly allowances are used up, employees have the freedom to top-up directly, or subscribe to additional services – with no additional costs for the employer.
Ooredoo Qatar chief operating officer Yousuf al-Kubaisi said: “We believe that communication services should be reliable, affordable, and help businesses to grow. Our new Hala Business International plans have been designed to provide all the communication services an employee could need, while removing any possibility of bill shock for the employer. We believe this offers the best of both worlds for companies in Qatar.”
Hala Business was launched in 2014, and has proven to be one of the most popular mobile services offered by Ooredoo. The service was designed to cater for companies looking for affordable, fixed-price communication bundles that not only offer the flexibility of enabling employees to top-up allowances at their own cost, but ensure that employers enjoy cost predictability and control.
With the new Hala Business International plans, businesses will have a new range of bundles that can keep employees connected globally, whilst retaining the cost control and flexibility that the Hala Business portfolio offers. Companies can even manage mobile billing directly, even though all SIMS will be registered in the names of employees.
Hala Business International bundles start from QR80 per month for 200 local minutes, 60 international minutes and 500MB local data.
Other denominations include QR150, QR200, QR325, QR525, and QR825, which include unlimited local and 3,200 international minutes, unlimited local data, 6GB roaming GCC data, and 300 minutes for incoming roaming calls.
On top of the “great” value bundles, out-of-bundle local call rates for employees are charged at QR0.10/min to Ooredoo and other networks. Employees can check their balance by dialling *129*10# at any time.
Employers and employees can also pay to add popular Ooredoo subscriptions to the monthly bundles, including Mobile Internet Packs, Hala International Packs and the Ooredoo Passports.
