JAKARTA, May 16, 2024. As the Hajj season approaches, PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata) once again offered tailored packages for Indonesian Hajj pilgrims during their journey in the Holy Land. Pilgrims can avail themselves of these specialized offerings, including a starter pack, at highly competitive rates. With various basic quota options and extended validity periods, customers can ensure seamless communication while in the Holy Land. Indonesian Hajj pilgrims can seize a special opportunity to obtain the "XL Haji'' starter pack at Hajj embarkation points starting from May 10, 2024. Additionally, XL Prepaid, AXIS, and XL PRIORITAS subscribers can access a special Hajj internet package through the myXL and AXISNET applications.

Alfons Eric Bosch Sansa, the Chief Marketing Officer of XL Axiata, stated, "According to data from the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, this year, there are 241,000 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims embarking on the journey to the Holy Land. Given the extensive duration of the pilgrimage, maintaining communication with family members back home is essential. Whether it's through phone calls, sharing photos, or video calls, staying connected is important. Therefore, we are dedicated to offering comprehensive packages ensuring the comfort of pilgrims and their families, with competitive pricing, large quotas, extended validity periods, and reliable network quality supported by all operators in Saudi Arabia."

Alfons further emphasized that XL Axiata consistently tailors communication services year after year to cater specifically to the needs of Hajj pilgrims. This customization involves a deep understanding of the pilgrims' behavior and preferences while in the Holy Land and during stopovers in Saudi Arabian cities, including their data requirements. Thus, in addition to offering affordable and flexible rates, pilgrims have the flexibility to customize their packages based on their individual needs.

In order to ensure top-notch service quality for pilgrims in Saudi Arabia, XL Axiata collaborates with all telecommunications operators renowned for their reliable network coverage in the region. Pilgrims have the option to select these operators for roaming services, eliminating the need to switch to local Saudi Arabian SIM cards. Another notable benefit of XL Axiata's Hajj Package is that any bonus data obtained can also be utilized in Indonesia, whether during the pilgrimage journey or upon returning home.

For Indonesian Hajj pilgrims without an existing XL Axiata subscription, they have the option to acquire an XL Haji starter pack at the point of Hajj embarkation. To make the process of accessing the Hajj Package service easier, XL Axiata outlets are established at 12 Hajj embarkation sites and accommodations, starting from May 10, 2024.
