    Bahrain slashes roaming tariffs across GCC by 75%

    (MENAFN) Bahrain's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) said that it ordered mobile operators in the country to cut tariffs by 75 percent for international calls made to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries while roaming in the Gulf region, reported Arab News. The TRA added that the move follows a decision of the Ministerial Committee of the GCC Council to slash maximum prices cap for all mobile companies within the region. It also said that at the current time, Bahraini consumers pay around USD2.61 per minute for calls made back to their country while roaming in some GCC nations, adding that the new 75 percent reduction would depend on the current prices of different countries and operators. It is worth noting that at the current time, the maximum rates will only involve voice calls made within and between GCC countries and not to data services such as mobile broadband or SMS.
