In a new step confirming its commitment to innovating proactive services and offers in the Lebanese mobile market, Alfa, the first Lebanese mobile network managed by Orascom Telecom, has launched the new Midline plan for postpaid subscribers offering them two bundles for $35 & $60 respectively.

Each bundle is associated with new and innovative features, noting that Alfa will be offering through the $60 Midline bundle and for the first time communication and texting services with a free monthly subscription.

Commenting on the launch of Midline, Alfa Chairman and CEO, Mr. Marwan Hayek, said: "The requirements vary from one mobile subscriber to another, and Alfa seeks continuously to meet the needs of its customers, taking into account the need to address all the components of its subscribers’ base by providing them with offers that cater to their needs."

He added: "After its pioneering initiative, namely the launch of the first plan of prepaid lines for the youth in Lebanon, Alfa goes on today with this new Midline plan, the first of its kind in the Lebanese mobile market, in a move that confirms the keenness of Alfa to address the needs of everyone of its subscribers and to provide peace of mind to the Alfa customer, and facilitate his communication with others as much as possible".

Hayek concluded: "We hope that this new package will satisfy our subscribers".

In detail, the $60 Midline bundle contains a package of 550 minutes and 55 SMS, while the $35 Midline bundle offers 250 minutes and 25 SMS (knowing that these tariffs are not VAT inclusive). It is noteworthy that the subscription in any of the two Midline bundles is automatically renewable on a monthly basis; however, remaining minutes and SMS will expire.

It is worth noting that the validity of this offer is limited, and these rates apply only to local communication services and phone calls. For more information, please call the free helpline 111 or visit the alfa website at: www.alfa.com.lb

This is the most expensive cellular service in the world. No wonder why the country is screwed up. I was in Europe paying 6 Euro a month for 3000 minutes in the same network and 150 international and other networks. If you don't renew, your number is good for up to one year to receive calls. For such a small country, I would use paper cups and strings and put them out of business. LOL

In Sweden I paid $15 for a prepaid card. I made 8 calls to Lebanon and 1 hour call to USA and many local calls.

In Armenia I paid $10 to renew the card and made tons of calls internationally and locally. I got all the SMS+, Clip+, MMS for free. Moreover I could watch all location TV stations for free on my cell phone. It cost $0.01/day to chat or use internet lightly.

In the States I made free calls after 6pm and on weekends.

They also charge by second not by minute which is better for the consumer and the line remained valid with me while idle for about a year.

Can someone please explain to me the benefits of Alfa or MTC for that matter?

the worst part is that this is clearly an advertisement.
Why is it out of the "Naharnet Newsdesk"
I thought Naharnet was the most ethical of newspapers in Lebanon...
Shame
