As a tribute to the Armed Forces and Civil Defense, touch, the leading mobile operator managed by Zain, launched a new line dedicated to officers and members of the Lebanese Army, Internal Security Forces (ISF), State Security, General Security and Civil Defense. The official announcement was made during a ceremony held on December 2 at the Phoenicia Hotel, under the patronage and participation of the Minister of Telecom, Nicolas Sehnaoui, and Minister of Interior and Municipalities General Marwan Charbel, and in the presence of representatives of the Armed Forces, Civil Defense and touch management.
The Marketing Director at touch, Mr. Youssef Gebran commented on the launch of the new line considered as "an important step and the most outstanding package offered by touch to date. We have conducted a study to identify the needs of Armed Forces and Civil Defense members, and it turned out that the Mobile Internet service was the most popular. This finding led us to focus on mobile internet which resulted in the data package for Bil Khidme line offering 200 MB for internet download. The line offers 60 minutes of local calls besides 60 SMS messages at the competitive price of USD 10 per month."
At the ceremony, His Excellency the Minister of Interior and Municipalities Brigadier Marwan Charbel stated: "We are cooperating with the Ministry of Telecom to make Bil Khidme available for municipal administrations' staff within a short period. This gesture constitutes good news for all members and officers of the Internal Security Forces, as this initiative saw the light thanks the efforts of the Ministry of Telecom and touch. We attach great hopes on similar steps from the concerned ministry. The relationship between communications and security is very close and only with communication and dialogue can we restore stability in Lebanon."
For his part, His Excellency the Minister of Telecom Nicolas Sehnaoui declared: "I thank the Minister of Interior for his tireless follow up and his insistence on completing this initiative, which provides 75% discounts on telecom charges for members and officers of the armed forces and civil defense, and we are currently planning to include the staff of municipal administrations in this package. Launching this offer is to honor the efforts of the Armed Forces and to strengthen their grip so they can act with the necessary resolve and determination, especially in light of the current situation. "
It is worth mentioning that Armed Forces and Civil Defense elements who hold prepaid lines from touch (magic, start, smart, super), can apply to turn them into Bil Khidme lines and capitalize on its features.
