Acting Director of competition and operators affairs Khalid Al-Qarawi spoke about the importance of the communication between the consumer and service provider (Communications Companies), before activating the roaming service to make sure about the service cost and service options, choose the suitable package or stop the data roaming service to avoid unexpected additional fees.
