Zain has expanded its international roaming service, which is known as “One Network,” to include Egypt after signing a partnership with Mobinil. The mentioned service offers roaming across the Zain network (and its partners) with call costs and services charged at the same rate as the home network. Best of all, Zain customers travelling to other countries can recharge their pre-paid accounts with locally purchased top up cards.
Commenting on the service expansion, Zain Group’s Dr Saad Al Barrak said: “‘One Network’ is unstoppable! We have reached an enormous milestone by reaching Egypt, a country that embraces both the Middle East and Africa. In every new country in which we plant the “One Network’ flag, we are redefining the concept of mobile coverage and roaming by delivering on our brand promise of ‘A wonderful world’”.
Finally in case you’re wondering, “One Network” was introduced back in September 2006, and ever since has attained many awards, most recently it was named “Telecommunication Innovation of the Year.”

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
