ISLAMABAD: Zong, a leading Pakistani telecom operator, has unveiled a special call offer for Saudi Arabia alongside reduced tariffs in anticipation of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, the company announced on Friday.
This year, Pakistan has allocated 179,210 pilgrims for the Hajj, with approximately 70,000 set to travel through official government programs, while others will be facilitated by private tour operators.
Zong has introduced a special IDD Saudi Arabia offer for Pakistani customers, available at just Rs2+tax per day, featuring pulse-based calling at Rs0.70/second.
According to the telecom operator, this offer aims to enable Pakistanis to stay connected with their loved ones performing Hajj in 2024 or residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
“We are committed to meeting the needs of our customers and will continuously enhance our International Dialing portfolio by introducing more innovative products and services,” stated Zong in an official statement.
