Customers who subscribe to the 'Data Roaming Bolt On' pay a standard fixed one-day or seven-day fee based on their choice of package. The range of packages includes 1 day with 1GB roaming in the GCC for only BD5 and 7 days with 5GB roaming in the GCC for only BD10. For worldwide destinations, customers can benefit from 1GB roaming for only BD20 for 7 days.

This is a great benefit for customers allowing them to relax and enjoy all their favourite applications and communication tools at a fixed price. Once the package limit is reached, the data service will automatically stop.
