Default Zain releases internet @home (wimax)

Basically they are offering three packages as shown below.
  • Wimax is a wireless service so you don’t need Batelco’s fixed line.
  • Not all areas are covered, but they promised that all areas should be covered within 2 weeks. Call 107 to check if your area is covered.
  • After applying it would take them around 4 days to actually come over your house and setup the device.
  • For each package you would get a 136xxxxx number (voice over ip, meaning that the call would go through the internet) and you can call unlimited calls to other 136xxxxx numbers for free.
  • Wimax device would cost 40BD if taken with a 12-month contract, and 30BD if taken with an 18-month contract.
  • Setup fee is currently waived until the end of this year.
  • After reaching your threshold you can either be charged 10fils/1mb or your speed would go down to 128kbps with no extra charges on using up more bandwidth.
note: office packages are to be made available in November 2007.
