STC’s free calls after 5 minutes offer is a lie

Published on November 3, 2008 by in General

I got an email from Waleed saying that the current offer from STC (any call longer than 5 minutes will be free, so they will only charge you the first 5 minutes) is a big lie! Apparently most calls cannot make it to the 10th minute before it gets disconnected! Whether it is deliberate or just a network overload is not known.

Do you have similar problems with this “offer”? Do you notice sudden disconnections after the 5th minute? Feel free to post a comment bellow!

    Oh yeah, my longest call so far has lasted 13 minutes. My mom thought I shut the phone in her face. I want to hurt someone, I will gladly opt out of the HABAL if they let me.

    Thats correct, I made 3 phone calls outside KSA and the duration of my each call was as follows 1. 25 min 2. 31 min 3. 29 min Suddenly the call gets disconnected after 30 min, then how come they say that after 5 min no charges ?

    Well, this offer is true but due to the overloads on several GSM operators abroad, the calls get disconnected. Adding to this, STC also needs to upgrade their network to manage such situations.

    Sounds to me that STC is offering a cheap buffet but the food runs out too fast ;) as in the network is overloaded …
