Jakarta, 11 June 2022. PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata) prepared a special package for Indonesian pilgrims while in the Holy Land. The Prepaid Starter SIM card and Hajj special packages have very competitive rates with large data quota options, long validity periods, and support from all operators in Saudi Arabia. Customers and Indonesian pilgrims can get this special hajj package starting June 3, 2022.
XL Axiata's Chief Marketing Officer, Alfons Eric Bosch Sansa said, "This Hajj moment is a special moment for pilgrims and their families in Indonesia, after two years of no hajj activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Because they will be in the Holy Land for a long time during their pilgrimage activities, they will require a comfortable, easy-to-use and reliable, so that they may stay connected at all times, whether by phone or video call, and share images and videos. To accommodate these needs, XL Axiata offers a variety of benefits, including the Prepaid Starter SIM card and special Umrah and Hajj packages for XL Prepaid users.
Alfons added, in addition to the affordable tariff, XL also provides a much larger data quota with a validity period of up to 60 days. That way when in the Holy Land, pilgrims do not need to make purchases again to extend their quota. XL continues to provide these facilities so that Hajj pilgrims can carry out their worship smoothly and can stay connected with their relatives in Indonesia without worrying that the card or package will run out of quota or expire.
XL Axiata collaborates with all telecommunications companies in Saudi Arabia that have strong network quality to assure the quality of service for pilgrims while in Saudi Arabia. Customers have the option of using these operators for roaming services. Customers are also not required to exchange their card for a Saudi Arabian card. For Hajj pilgrims who do not yet have an XL number, they can purchase a starter pack and special XL packages for Hajj at Hajj embarkation, credit shops, online stores, menu *123*747#, or on the myXL application.
