CELTEL Has changed name to Zain after the company was bought by a Kuwaiti Telecom conglomerate. The name change was announced during a Nairobi press conference over the weekend.

“By re-branding to Zain, we are bringing together our African and Middle East operations under a single, strong and unique identity,” said Zain Group’s CEO, Dr. Saad Al Barrak.

At the same conference, Zain Group launched the world’s first inter-continental borderless network.

“Our One Network service now includes the Zain countries in the Middle East,” Fred Masadde Kabuye, the external affairs manager of Zain Uganda explains.

“Just send your relative in Iraq a Zain Uganda SIM card and you will be communicating with them at the same rate as if they were next door.”
