With the aim of informing telecom consumers and stakeholders and maintaining transparency, the TRA published a detailed study about the New Prepaid Offers prepared by the Market and Competition Unit.

The study relates the history of mobile tariff changes and gives an overview and a comparison of available prepaid offers. It also presents the outcome of a detailed test report that has been conducted to validate and check the terms and conditions, tariffs and user friendliness of the new prepaid offers.

The study concludes with recommendations for an increase in mobile penetration stating that operators should review the new prepaid offers, the old services, the communication plan and distribution channels and fix some technical implementation issues to ensure that new offers become attractive and simple to use.
