Telecom service provider Batelco announced its partnership with Bahrain Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) to offer free SIM card service to foreign workers in Bahrain.
“The LMRA has established itself as major organization in Bahrain due to its provision of crucial services for expatriate employees. Accordingly, Batelco as part of its remit to other leading organisations and the community has no hesitation in joining hands with the LMRA on this occasion,” said Batelco A/CEO Muna Al Hashemi.
The Authority in cooperation with Batelco will provide each expat worker holding a work permit issued by the Authority, a free sim card in his name upon registering his details at the Authority’s headquarters.
The sim card number will be the worker’s contact number which the Authority will use to inform him of all information that concerns him in the language he prefers.
This new service benefits the expat workers as it allows workers to be updated on their work permits and legal status in the Kingdom of Bahrain via SMS’s sent to them by the Authority. The free sim card would be activated within 15 minutes from the registration of the worker’s personal data.
