Ooredoo’s VIP charity auction for special telephone numbers has raised a total of QR30.16mn, with the highest auctioned number selling at QR10.1mn. As part of its on-going corporate social responsibility work, Ooredoo invited VIP guests and customers on Tuesday evening to bid for their favourite number from a range of 50 special numbers. This is Ooredoo’s ninth year of organising special number auctions, and since 2005, the company has given millions of riyals to charity and community projects.  The proceeds of the latest auction will also be used to implement corporate social responsibility projects.
