Manama, Bahrain: BNET, the National network responsible for providing broadband network services across the Kingdom of Bahrain which was launched in October 2019 has announced the launch and implementation of its new portability process for broadband Internet, which will enable end-users to transfer their broadband services to their preferred service provider with minimal service disruption and with the ability of maintaining the same number.

To switch service providers, customers can communicate directly with the new provider of choice to commence the transfer process. The old provider will then invoice customers for all fees due until the date of transfer. This streamlined process will contribute to creating effective and sustainable market competition between service providers.

It is worth noting that BNET has taken the initiative to offer this process to the Telecommunications sector in the Kingdom, based on the requests received by the service providers. Following the sector’s approval on the initiative, BNET has immediately started the implementation process in accordance with the time plan set. 

On this occasion, Mr. Ahmed Jaber Aldoseri, CEO of BNET, stated: “in BNET we seek to achieve one of our strategic goals by presenting the portability process, which ensures the Kingdom’s Telecommunication sector’s competitiveness and market adaptability through facilitating and encouraging fair competition among local operators. BNET will continue to work on enhancing this process with the aim of achieving a smooth transition with minimum disruption, as we are very keen to provide the best services to improve and enhance the end-user experience.”
