DOHA: Vodafone Qatar announced yesterday the exclusive launch of Pocket TV- an application that gives all its customers unlimited access to their favourite live South Asian content on their mobile phones.

Customers will enjoy more than 90 live TV channels and more than 100 radio channels that cover a broad spectrum of interests including sports, movies, news and shows broadcasting 24/7. Examples include Nepali language TV- NTV, Kantipur and AP1, Bengali language TV- BTV World, ATN Bangla and RTV, Hindi language TV- BAU Movies, Star Utsav and Star Movies.

Customers have the choice of paying a flat fee for a day, week or a month’s access package at QR3, QR15 and QR45 respectively with zero data charges. To celebrate the launch of Pocket TV, Vodafone customers can enjoy a one-week free trial from now till  April 15, 2018.

Accessing South Asian entertainment content in Qatar is difficult and the current options whether they be via mobile phone, TV on demand or Online TV requires high subscription and data costs. This is limiting and a cause of frustration for many people whose need to stay connected to what they love from home is of great importance.   

“At Vodafone we understand the needs of our all our customers and listen to what they want from their telecom operator. Pocket TV is a response to a large segment of our society’s need to have access to an affordable and easy way to enjoy entertainment and up to date current affairs from their home country, all in the palm of their hand,” said Diego Camberos, Chief Operating Officer, Vodafone Qatar.  

To start enjoying Pocket TV from Vodafone, customers simply need to download the App from Google Play store or Apple store then sign in with their Vodafone number and choose the package they want.
