Small businesses in Oman can now enjoy instant activation of broadband services at any Nawras store across the Sultanate. Business customers can benefit from great value fixed line packages by combining voice and internet services from the Maktabi Bundle helping Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Small Office Home Office businesses (SoHos) maximise their resources with efficient and convenient cost-effective communications.
Tim Barber, Senior Manager - Segment Strategy/SME, said, “With the introduction of SME and SoHo services through all our stores, customers can now immediately access a range of business bundles and services. The bundles include our plug and play broadband services, allowing customers to easily get online within minutes, without having to wait for installation or activation.”
Barber added, “The bundles also include a Business Group providing free calls to all mobile and fixed line numbers using the same service within the company. The fixed voice component of the bundle offers a flat rate of 9 Baisa to all other landline numbers as well as the ability to take the same landline number anywhere in Oman, if the office location changes. All of this can add up to a saving of as much as 25 per cent each month, when moving fixed voice services to Nawras.”
Nawras provides a one-stop-shop for the growing needs of small businesses with the reassurance that all services are backed by the company’s pleasingly different, award-winning customer service.
