Egypt's National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) has directed mobile operators in the Egyptian market to give subscribers free international minutes to some Arab countries, with each subscriber granted 5 free international minutes to call Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
This comes as part of the Authority's keenness to enable citizens to check on their families abroad and maintain continuous contact with them amid current circumstances, in countries going through delicate conditions as a result of current events.
The National Telecom Regulatory Authority stresses that it continues to follow regional developments and take the necessary regulatory measures in coordination with mobile operators, ensuring support for citizens and easy access to effective and secure telecommunications services, according to the official page of the Egyptian Cabinet on Facebook.
