MUSCAT:
Oman Telecommunications Company (Omantel) has welcomed the entry of Vodafone as the third telecom operator to Oman.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Omantel’s chief executive officer Talal al Mamari, said it will provide more choices to customers in Oman. 

On Thursday, the government officially announced the entry of Vodafone after it signed a 15-year strategic contract with Oman Future Telecommunications (OFT).

Mamari reiterated Omantel’s commitment to support the development of the telecom sector in the sultanate by offering its robust and widespread infrastructure as well as capacities through Omantel’s extensive international network of submarine cables.

“Entry of the third mobile operator will contribute to offering wider choices to customers, a key focus area that has been given utmost priority by Omantel since its launch,” he added. 

According to sources, Vodafone will start operations in the second-half of 2020.
