Lebanon’s mobile operators Alfa and Touch and their counterparts in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have agreed to significantly lower the cost of voice and data roaming services both in Lebanon and the GCC countries, reports Businessnews. The decision, which takes immediate effect, reduces roaming costs to close to rates available in Lebanon, according to the telecommunications ministry.
The move aims to encourage tourists from the Gulf to visit Lebanon and to facilitate communications services for Lebanese expatriates residing in GCC countries. Customers will be able to use their own mobile lines without having to resort to costly alternatives. The deal was sponsored by the ministry of telecommunications (MoT).
