Etihad Etisalat unleashed innovative and competitive rate cuts for its customer base effective Wednesday, the company said in a statement on Friday. Following the third minute onwards, Mobily customers now have a 60 percent discount on calls they make, whether they are calling subscribers on Al Jawal, Zain or Al Hatef, making the tariff on that minute onwards a competitive 12 halala per minute. Likewise, Mobily customers calling abroad now enjoy that same 60 percent discount, whether it on regular international numbers they dial or favorite international numbers. The 60 percent discount is available on all Mobily postpaid offers and prepaid customers, with the exception of those using the company's seasonal prepaid package, “Rahal.” Mobily said the promotion left the door open to other companies in the market to compete on providing the best level of service at affordable rates, which in turn would mirror itself favorably on product development, and similar promotions from time to time. As examples of how the discount can benefit consumers, following the third minute onwards, calls to Egypt are 68 halala per minute, 80 halala to Jordan, 44 halala for calls made to other Gulf Cooperation Council states, 80 halala for calls to Yemen, and 72 halala for calls to India and Pakistan. __
