In a swift response to the severe heavy rainfall and flooding affecting Sri Lanka, Ooredoo Maldives has announced a special initiative to help customers stay connected with their loved ones. The telecom provider is offering free calls to Sri Lanka for a 24-hour period, allowing individuals in the Maldives to check on the safety and wellbeing of friends and family.
The initiative, effective immediately, will enable Ooredoo customers to make calls to Sri Lankan numbers with the first five minutes of each call session being completely free of charge.
The persistent heavy rains in Sri Lanka have caused significant disruption, leading to widespread flooding and landslides in several regions. This has raised concerns within the Maldivian community, many of whom have close familial and social ties to Sri Lanka.
A statement from Ooredoo Maldives emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting its community, especially during challenging times. “Ooredoo Maldives remains committed to supporting the community during challenging times and will continue to provide relief measures that help keep people connected when it matters most,” the company stated.
This gesture is expected to provide much-needed reassurance and facilitate crucial communication for Maldivians seeking to contact those in the affected areas. Customers are encouraged to utilize the service over the next 24 hours to reach out to their contacts in Sri Lanka.
