Zain expands ‘One Network' to Egypt

Zain, one of the leading mobile telecom provider in the Middle East and Africa, has announced the expansion of its ground breaking ‘One Network' platform to Egypt in a strategic partnership with Mobinil.

Over 27 million Zain customers in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Sudan, can now benefit from ‘One Network' services when visiting Egypt for business or pleasure with a reciprocal benefit for Mobinil's 24 million customers when visiting any of these Zain countries.

The award winning ‘One Network' borderless mobile phone platform enables pre-paid and post-paid Zain customers when travelling to another "One Network' partner country to be treated as local customer in terms of pricing while retaining home country service functionalities.

Saad Al Barrak, the chief executive officer of Zain Group said, "One Network' is unstoppable. We have reached an enormous milestone by reaching Egypt, a country that embraces both the Middle East and Africa. In every new country in which we plant the "One Network' flag, we are redefining the concept of mobile coverage and roaming by delivering on our brand promise of ‘A wonderful world',".

Since its introduction in September 2006, "One Network" has been recognized by the international community for significant innovation and raising industry standards, attaining many awards.
