Doha: Ooredoo yesterday announced that the new Passport companion feature is available on Ooredoo Mobile App.
The feature has been designed to significantly improve user experience for roaming customers. Customers using Ooredoo Passport service can check their balance by sending an SMS containing “Balance OPC” to 114.
With new updates, app customers will now see a new interface while launching the app abroad, and will be able to instantly see their remaining passport balance for their selected “preferred number” (they can choose under the apps settings). They can also check Passport balance of all numbers under their account.
All Ooredoo App users will be able to view the standard roaming rates for calling and messaging in the country they are visiting and the networks compatible with the Passport. Users can also subscribe to Passport service by selecting the country’s flag in the top right hand corner of their screen. Customers who have subscribed to Passport service before travelling need to open the app and press the aeroplane icon in the top left hand corner of the app interface and check Passport balance.
Those who want to see all costs and options of roaming with Ooredoo can select the new ‘Travelling’ tab to view the list of countries where Passport service is available and standard roaming rates per service in the country.
Passport Companion tool is the latest update to the app and will work with all iOS 8 and above and Android 4.4.4 and above devices.
The app also allows users to manage key Ooredoo services directly their smartphones, including upgrading Shahry Smart bundles, paying bills, topping up data and much more.
