DOHA: : Vodafone Prepaid customers can now enjoy local calls at the lowest rate in the country, at just 10Dh per minute.
This great promotion covers not just calls to other Vodafone numbers, but calls to any number in Qatar. The promotional offer costs QR1 per week. To get the offer, Prepaid customers need to opt in by dialling *200*10#. The offer will be valid for seven days and will automatically recur at the end of each seven-day period. The promotion runs until Eid Al Adha, ending on October 11.
Vodafone Qatar said: “we’re very excited about this unbeatable offer which strongly underlines our commitment to continue to offer our Prepaid customers the best value possible in Qatar. We were the first to offer real and significant savings for customers on their local calling with the introduction of our permanent 25Dh/min offer last year. And now with this new promotion customers can save up to 80 percent on standard local calling rate of 55Dh/min. As with any other offer from Vodafone Qatar, our customers will always feel confidently connected with worry-free and delightful experiences.”
When it comes to international calling, Vodafone Qatar has announced earlier two new great offers for Prepaid customers to enjoy the best international calling rates in Qatar as well. Vodafone’s International QR25, has been boosted to include 56 international minutes instead of 51 minutes. That means customers pay less than 45Dh per minute for international calls.
Furthermore, Vodafone’s weekly international packs now offer calling to 124 International countries for only 45Dh/min, reduced from 60Dh/min. That’s a saving of 55 percent off standard international rates.
There is no change to the weekly cost, which remains at QR1 per week.
