Customers are asked to forward their concerns by calling Batelco Customer Care Helpdesk on 196, available around the clock, every day of the year, or by calling TRA’s free hotline on 81188, said the statement.

The full list of the selected payphones with their locations can be found on a dedicated web page which can be accessed at Batelco’s official website, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
