Batelco adds 200 destinations

Batelco, Bahrain’s leading telecommunications company, has announced the addition of over 200 destinations and a reduction in rates for its international calling cards. The sweeping upgrade was made possible by what Batelco officials call the service’s “great success.”

At first, Batelco’s 123 numbers made international calls to only five countries available. Today, the Batelco system suddenly reaches 212 nations in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. The 123 Calling Cards use VoIP technology and are available for calls made from both fixed lines and mobile phones. The cards are obtainable at all supermarkets, cold stores, Batelco shops and authorised resellers.
