Muscat, Oman: Under the patronage of His Highness Sayyid Kamil bin Fahad bin Mahmoud Al Said, Secretary General of the General Secretariat to the Cabinet of Ministers, and in collaboration with the Telecom Regulatory Authority, Vodafone hosted a first of its kind live auction of special gold and diamond numbers, successfully raising OMR over 100,000. All proceeds will be donated to charitable associations and organisations.

Sayyid Fahad Al Busaidi, Chief Corporate Affairs at Vodafone Oman, said: “This unique auction reinforced Vodafone’s dedication to support initiatives that give back to society.
