(MENAFN Press) Muscat, 14 February 2012 “ Nawras is delighted to introduce two new SMS services to conveniently bring world news to customers' handsets and tablets. From today, Reuters Breaking News service will provide customers with the latest updates on international news stories while Asia News will deliver daily news from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Oman's customer friendly communications provider is offering these SMS services on a monthly subscription basis. Both services are available for all Nawras Ajel (postpaid) and Nawras Mousbak (prepaid) customers to enjoy.

Reuters News is communicated in either English or Arabic with a minimum of one message being delivered each day. To stay informed with Reuters News, sports and business alerts, customers simply send R to 90454 to receive breaking news in English, for the nominal monthly fee of 1.5 Omani Rials.

Customers can choose to receive Asian News in English from any of the three countries featured for just 700 Baiza per month, per country. To subscribe to Indian news, the keyword IND should be sent to 90452. The number is the same to select news from Pakistan using the keyword PAK and for Sri Lankan news, the keyword is SRI.

Al Muhanna Jaifar Al-Said, VAS Specialist, said, "We are delighted to be able to offer our customers greater convenience and choice through the introduction of these new services. Nawras customers can now easily stay informed and up-to-date while on the move, wherever they go. These are the latest additions to a long list of value added services that form part of the pleasingly different communications experience we offer."

Asian News and Reuters Breaking News complement the existing news services being offered to Nawras customers through CNN, BBC, Koora Mobile, Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya.

A member of the Qtel Group, Nawras has been delighting customers in the Sultanate since 2005. This award winning company is dedicated to pursuing its vision to enrich the lives of people in Oman through better communication services.
