Beyond ONE, a global digital services provider, has partnered with TIMWETECH to deliver premium digital content to mobile users in Saudi Arabia and Oman. The collaboration, announced at Mobile World Congress 2025, will see TIMWETECH’s Digital Service Delivery platform deployed across Beyond ONE’s affiliate networks—Virgin Mobile Saudi Arabia and FRiENDi Oman.
The partnership aims to address a critical barrier to digital inclusion by enabling mobile users to access and pay for digital content directly through their mobile accounts, bypassing the need for credit cards. The service will be available to 3.5 million subscribers, allowing them to subscribe to premium streaming, gaming, infotainment services, and AI-powered productivity tools. The partnership is particularly beneficial for Beyond ONE’s largely prepaid customer base, in regions where traditional banking relationships remain limited.
This collaboration introduces Direct Carrier Billing (DCB), enabling customers to subscribe and pay for digital content using their existing mobile balance with just two clicks. The platform provides secure and seamless user experiences with AI-powered fraud detection and enhanced consumer protections, such as mandatory double opt-in confirmations and transparent subscription terms.
Key Benefits of the Partnership:
- Expanded Content Ecosystem: Customers will gain access to premium entertainment, educational platforms, and gaming subscriptions.
- Financial Inclusion: Prepaid users can subscribe without needing credit cards or bank accounts, enhancing accessibility.
- Enhanced Consumer Protection: Clear subscription terms, automatic spending alerts, and management tools offer customers control over their digital spending.
- Faster Service Deployment: New digital services will be rolled out more quickly, providing customers with the latest content options.
The phased rollout of this service will begin in Q3 2025, offering a significant enhancement to Beyond ONE’s value proposition and contributing to the digital economy in the Middle East.
