Du launches toll-free service for multinationals

UAE telecoms operator Du has launched an International Toll-Free Service (ITFS), which enables multinational enterprise customers to receive toll-free calls from payphones, landlines and mobile phones in the UAE.

According to the telco, the application provides access to toll-free ITFS numbers for calls originating from the UAE, and provides carrier partners with a solution for audio-conferencing, call centre and business support application requirements from the region.

“We are pleased to announce that du ITFS numbers are available to all our 90 carrier partners around the globe,” said Du CCO Farid Faraidooni. “This service demonstrates Du’s commitment to facilitating and improving telecommunications between the UAE and the rest of the world. We will continue to strive for innovative solutions to improve communications in the region both internally and externally.”

The telco added that carrier partners would benefit from a short provisioning lead time and flexibility on number changes. ITFS allows international companies to extend toll-free features to the UAE, ensuring customers all over the world never pay to reach their headquarters, Du said.
