Zain, the leading digital service provider in Kuwait, announced the launch of an exclusive Amazon Prime Video offer for the first time in Kuwait. Through the exclusive offer starting on December 13, Zain will provide its customers with award-winning and popular movies and TV shows on its most advanced network, including Prime Originals and TV series like the whirlwind motoring antics of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in the The Grand Tour; the thrilling gangster saga set in India, Mirzapur; highly-acclaimed actress Julia Roberts’ TV debut in the all new Homecoming; and the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Through the new exclusive offer, Zain provides its customers in Kuwait with the opportunity to easily enjoy Prime Video’s award-winning and popular movies and TV shows, including Prime Originals. Postpaid and prepaid Zain customers can easily subscribe to Prime Video without the need of using a credit card or additional payment methods. The exclusive offer includes two months of Prime Video, courtesy of Zain, after which customers can enjoy the service for up to KD 2 per month.
Zain Kuwait’s Chief Commercial Officer Meshal Mohammed said: “today we jointly announce the launch of an exclusive offer featuring Amazon Prime Video for the first time in Kuwait. This launch is a continuation of the distribution agreement we signed with Amazon last October during our participation at the 38th edition of The Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX Technology Week 2018) in Dubai”.
Meshal Mohammed added: “at Zain, we are committed to further expanding our collaboration ecosystem with global technology leaders like Amazon to meet the expectations and aspirations of our customers in line with our strategy that centers around digital transformation leadership. Today’s announcement further reinforces our portfolio of innovative services and solutions in the digital entertainment area, especially with the high demand witnessed by this sector via Video on Demand (VOD) and Over the Top (OTT) services in place of traditional media channels”.
Meshal Mohammed concluded: “the launch of this offer today for the first time in Kuwait will contribute in triggering Zain’s full potential in the digital community, and will enrich our digital entertainment portfolio and reinforce our efforts in becoming a fully integrated digital lifestyle provider. We introduce this exclusive offer on our most advanced network for our customer base, considered the largest in Kuwait, to empower them in enjoying an unmatchable digital entertainment experience. We are certain that this agreement is only the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with Amazon to launch more innovations in the Kuwaiti market in the near future”.
“We want Prime Video customers to be able to enjoy watching all their favorite TV shows where and when they want,” said Tim Leslie, Vice President, Amazon Prime Video International. “We’re delighted that the addition of Prime Video on Zain allows even more customers the opportunity to watch their favorite Prime Originals and popular TV shows and movies, both in the home or on the move.”
Zain always aspires to new levels of excellence in all of the services it offers to its customers. Through collaboration with the biggest tech leaders from around the world, Zain affirms its continuous efforts in meeting its customers’ needs and aspirations, and delivers its promise of offering the best services and latest technologies.
The primary collaboration between the two companies was announced during Zain’s participation at GITEX 2018 last October in Dubai, which highlighted the company’s efforts to enrich its transformation into a fully integrated digital service provider. Zain started its digital transformation journey by launching many smart services and solutions to both consumers and businesses throughout the past two years. Zain participated at GITEX as the only telecom company that represented the State of Kuwait in this leading global and regional event.
Zain’s strategy is centered around digital transformation leadership and empowering the community to enjoy a smarter portable lifestyle, as well as using advanced technology and Zain’s long experience to enable an easier and more flexible life. The company places itself as an active partner in creating the future of smart life in Kuwait.
