Alfa Telecom Now Supports eSIM on iPhone

By on March 21, 2019 in Technology, Telecom

Alfa Telecommunications announced two days ago that their network now supports eSIM built into iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR.

For those who don’t know, an eSIM (or electronic SIM) serves the same purpose as that of a physical one, which is to store the data that authenticate your handset to the mobile network. However, in the case of the eSIM, the data are stored into a small chip that is built right into your phone. And in order to activate this eSIM you either download an app by your mobile operator or simply scan a QR code and your phone will be able to connect and make phone calls or use data plans.

So if you are an Alfa subscriber and happen to own one of the new devices with eSIM support, you can head to one of their stores and get a QR code in order to activate a second line on your phone if you need to.

I expect touch to also announce support for eSIM sometime soon since the two operators almost always end up having the same offerings.

Alfa Restores Hope in Life for A Young Woman This Valentine #الحب_الحقيقي_مش_أعمى

By on February 13, 2018 in Ads

For Valentine this year, and in its continuous quest for supporting people with iron will in the Lebanese society, Alfa decided to gift an eSight 3 device to Sariya, a young mom who lost her eyesight few years ago after being diagnosed with Glaucoma disease.

I can imagine how hard it was for her not being able to enjoy the simplest pleasures in life by watching her beloved ones’ faces… but fortunately this seems to have come to an end with Sariya finally able to be autonomous again, walk around freely, and of course see her family!

Her reaction once she tries the eSight 3 glasses is absolutely priceless…

Talk about transparency

By on March 19, 2013 in Lebanon

So Alfa Telecom ran a competition for two tickets to attend ArabNet Beirut, and guess who were the winners? Two of their employees!

Alfa

Thank you @chemali

Update:

After receiving so much tweets about the issue, Alfa ended up disqualifying one of the winners, Chafi Maalouf, since he’s an Alfa employee. On the other hand, the other guy didn’t turn out to be one of their employees.

The mystery revealed

By on February 20, 2010 in Funny

Turned out yesterday’s series was part of an advertising campaign for Alfa Telecom to promote the “Ehkineh” service. Someone from Alfa’s advertising agency e-mailed me the below video later last night and revealed that they were behind the idea and executing it.

In total, 6 shows were crashed on several radio stations during the day, and in this video you can listen to 3 of them that were recorded.

Crashing morning shows?!

By on February 19, 2010 in Funny

Do you hear any morning radio show on your way to work? Well I do, and I usually move from one channel to another (a bad habit I know!) to check on what announcers have to say every day, other than promoting the Acai Boost and Via Ananas pills!

Anyway, something weird happened today when some person crashed the morning show on Nostalgie! I was listening to the Nostalgie girl talking when a woman apparently entered the studio and used her microphone to tell her husband she is pregnant with twins!

And it doesn’t stop here, I told a colleague about it few minutes ago and she said the same thing happened on RLL!!

Any idea what is that all about?

Update:

One of the readers claimed she heard a similar thing on Saw El-Mada. So we got 3 similar cases? I smell something fishy, especially given what Ibrahim wrote also! (Check the comments below).

Update 2:

Yara (check comments below) just sent me this voice clips she recorded by chance (for god knows why!) on Sawt el Mada’s radio station where the presenter’s housekeeper interrupts her morning show because she ran out of water. LOL, hilarious thing!

You can download it by clicking here, or listen to it online.

Update 3:

I heard another person crashing another show!!! This one was hilarious, I was returning back home and listening to NRJ, a woman called Steve Peters and started yelling at him asking for “Abou Toni”, Steve sounded quite puzzled and kept telling her it’s a radio station! At the end she told him he’s wasting her units, so answered that she could have used the “ehkine” service!

I’m sure now it’s an organized thing, and I think I know who’s behind it… will keep you updated it was kind of a viral campaign by Alfa Telecom!
