Our little birdie has learnt that FRiENDi mobile, the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), will enter Oman very soon. FRiENDi mobile is the first MVNO in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Tech Mahindra, the leading provider of solutions and services to the telecommunications industry in India, will enable FRiENDi mobile to the next stage of its MVNO infrastructure development by providing MENA-wide implementation of ERP, Business Process Automation, Reporting and Web Self Care systems, as well as state-of-the-art community-based applications and value-added services.

FRiENDi mobile will initially launch in Oman and Jordan and later expand to 14 countries in the MENA region in the next two years. The mobile sector in MENA is in the infrastructure competition phase, and ready for the natural next step to service competition, where MVNOs become an integrated part of the national telecom markets.
