Omantel, the Sultanate’s leading provider of integrated telecommunication services has reaffirmed their commitment to growing small businesses with a dedicated range of SME friendly service packages, along with the chance to achieve nationwide recognition through the acclaimed Omantel Business Excellence SME Awards.
According to Omantel official, small and medium sized businesses are a vibrant and growing sector within the national economy. This sector is expected to play a significant role in realising the nation’s economic diversification goals while helping to create sustainable jobs and generate new entrepreneurial opportunities for young Omanis .
Ali Bakhit Kashoob, Senior Manager Product Development Corporate, said, “Omantel is the Sultanate’s first and leading integrated telecommunications services provider, enabling the digital society to flourish, allowing new ways of doing business and delivering a world of information, news and entertainment.
Omantel has always offered dedicated support for small and medium enterprises in the Sultanate in the form of specialised services tailored to the needs of their growing businesses. We wish to see every small enterprise flourish and grow, and these services are uniquely designed to be flexible, and grow according to the needs of each business.”
“Omantel provides a suite of specialised telecommunications services created to match the needs of the small but growing business. Specialised services include; the A’amali Service, which is a unique, all-in-one SME business solution, offering a total communications solution for the small and medium business.
The SME package includes Unlimited Internet, Mobile & Fixed Line to free calls within the company. The A’amali SME package starts at only RO 29 per month.” Kashoob added.
Kashoob said:, “Meanwhile, the Mobile Business Prepaid Corporate Private Network (CPN) is a distinctive service that allows SME’s to make use of the CPN service and at the same time monitor and control costs. Just like Post-Paid CPN prepaid, CPN facilitates free calls between employees (2000 Minutes/user) provided that the organization pays a fixed monthly amount per user. While for data reliant SME’s, the Shared Mobile Business Broadband service allows businesses to share a predefined data allowance amongst their employees, allowing for cost efficiency and flexibility of data usage between light and heavy users.”
For SME’s that operate from multiple locations or branches, the Fixed-Mobile CPN provides free calls to and from all branches of a single organization equipped with ISDN PRI, and at the same time provides free calls between the ISDN PRI service of these branches and NAMA CPN of the same organization.
The service also includes a reduction in the prices of outgoing calls from ISDN PRI to any Omantel Fixed Line, as well as to any mobile phone from Omantel or any other operator in the Sultanate.
Another cost saving service is Omantel’s SIP-Trunk Service, which allows easy communication between employees and customers over the Internet as a substitute to traditional fixed telephone networks which can be costly if not properly managed.
Additionally, for SME’s and their staff who are always on the go, the Mobile PBX service extends fixed-line PBX functionality to mobile devices.
The service increases organizational availability, productivity and efficiency to employees giving them the flexibility to attend to calls even when they are out of their office.
