Saudi telecoms company offers 1 GB free for users on the days of Tarwiya and Arafat

 Saudi Telecom Company (STC) has announced it will provide 1GB free for every pilgrim who uses its prepaid services as a gift to pilgrims during this year’s Hajj season.

The gift is aimed at facilitating their experience during Hajj on the day of Tarwiya and Arafat, as part of an initiative organized by the Saudi Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the Communications and Information Technology Commission.

STC Chairman, Nasser bin Sulaiman Al-Nasser, explained that the company’s gift came as a result of instructions from King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to all governmental and private bodies related to the service of pilgrims.

The gift also embodies the Kingdom’s slogan for this year’s Hajj season, “The World in the Heart of the Kingdom,” adding that the company deployed more than 1,700 employees to serve the worshippers, with the support of government and private sectors working to serve pilgrims.

The chairman also announced that the number of international roaming networks for this year’s Hajj season has increased to more than half a million international circuits, an increase of 27% compared to last year, which will facilitate the communication and data transmission between the Kingdom and all countries around the world.
