du launches freetime offer on international phone calls

For every one second of every international call, the customer gets one fils of free credit. So, for a one minute call they get 60 fils worth of credit. This means that a customer can save as much as 60 per cent on international call rates depending on the country they are calling and the time they are calling.

The Freetime offer, which started on June 2, will benefit all du mobile customers - Pay as you Go (prepaid) Monthly Plan (postpaid), Visitor Mobile Line and Business Mobile customers, during peak and off-peak times. The promotion does not include international calls made while roaming in other countries.

Farid Faraidooni, EVP of Commercial, du, said, "The offer by Freetime further underscores the value we place on each second used in communicating with loved ones, no matter how far away."

While the Pay as you Go and Visitor Mobile Line customers will be instantly credited after each call, Monthly Plan and Business Mobile Connect (Business postpaid) customers' monthly bills will be offset with these credits.

All customers have to do to activate this service is call the toll-free Self-Care number 135 from their du mobile and choose option 6. Customers who activated Freetime last year will have the offer automatically activated this time.
