As the Sultanate’s demand for online services grows in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Ooredoo’s contact centre has reported a massive 150% rise in traffic on its social media and digital platforms compared to the first quarter of the year. Catering to over 25.5k interactions per day, the telecoms company has boosted its digital services, so that customers do not need to call. It gives them instant access to products, services, help and answers to queries in the palm of their hands.

The company has upgraded and boosted their digital services both through the award-winning app using the AI Chatbots and through the online livechat on the website.
