Todaythe ONE Network enables <strong>Zain</strong> Jordan customers to movefreely between all <strong>Zain</strong> operators in other countries, andsome former <strong>Zain</strong> Africa markets, while being treated as localcustomers in terms of price and service.Without changing any setting on their phones customers areable to:- Make local calls and send messages at local rates,- Receive incoming calls free of charge from all <strong>Zain</strong>networks across the region,- Use General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) (access theinternet, e-mail, BlackBerry and use Multimedia MessagingService (MMS)) at local rates,- Access their home country’s customer services, and- Use local vouchers to top up their balance.ONE Network2008 2009 2010Countries Covered 17 22 16*Customers Covered (‘000’000) 63.5 72.5 67*** Since <strong>Zain</strong> Group sold its African operations, a number of operators haveleft the ONE Network.** This is an estimated number that includes customers of all <strong>Zain</strong> operations,Jawwal, and Africa’s operations included in the ONE Network.With the sale of <strong>Zain</strong> Africa’s operations in 2009 the networkhas contracted.
