Ooredoo cuts data pack prices by 50%

Ooredoo has announced that it is permanently reducing the prices of four of its most popular data packs. With the new pricing plan, the two most popular Shahry data packs–3GB and 6GB–and two Hala data packs–750MB and 1,500MB–will have their cost reduced by 50%. Originally, the price of the packs had been slashed as part of the special Summer Data Promotion launched earlier this year. Positive feedback from customers and a sharp rise in the number of people using mobile data in recent weeks have led Ooredoo to make the price promotion a permanent offer, the company has said in a statement.The Shahry 3GB and 6GB options for BlackBerry, Mobile Broadband or Mobile Internet Packs will all see their prices reduced by 50%, dropping to a monthly fee of QR80 (from QR160) and QR100 (from QR200), respectively. Similarly, all Hala customers subscribed to data packs for BlackBerry, Mobile broadband or mobile Internet will enjoy half-price browsing at only QR20 per week for 750MB and QR25 per week for 1,500MB packs.
