Etihad Etisalat (Mobily), the leading telecom service provider in Saudi Arabia, will compensate its BlackBerry users with an extended three days of service, free of charge, after yesterday’s (Oct 10) BlackBerry service outage.

Humoud Al Ghobaini, VP corporate communications and PR, stated that despite the fact that operators had nothing to do with the interruption, compensating the company’s BlackBerry users was its way of showing them they cared.

BlackBerry service has been restored since yesterday when Mobily was in constant communication with the source in its efforts to get the service back to its users as soon as possible, he added. – TradeArabia News Service
