Wataniya puts world-class photography on mobile phones

The new service allows Action users to choose from a selection of themed categories including animals, landscapes, flowers and Arabic calligraphy among others, and receive new 'M Shot' pictures four times a week through a Multi-Media Messaging Service (MMS), which they can then use as wallpapers and screensavers.

"Just like on their computers, subscribers to 'M Shots' will be able to personalise their mobile phones with colourful Action screensavers, ranging from slideshows, images and animations that will run on their mobiles when standing idle or not in use," said Fuad Al Ablani, Assistant GM, Wataniya Telecom. "From comics and horoscopes to greeting cards and photo messaging, Action brings our subscribers the latest developments in GPRS and MMS technologies to deliver colorful fun that is tailored to their lifestyles."

As with all other Action services, users will find it simple to subscribe to Wataniya's new 'M Shot' service by sending a request by SMS or logging onto the 'Funtec' website http://www.wataniya.com/funtec. The website also offers subscribers the option to access 'M Shot' images online.

Wataniya Telecom's 'Action' services bring a whole new experience to mobile users in Kuwait by providing them with the Middle East's most diverse range of advanced multimedia entertainment, information and lifestyle services that use color, audio, animation and video images. Between 1st July and 1st October 2003, Wataniya post paid and pre-paid "Xpress" customers with GPRS and MMS featured mobiles will be able to access all Action services with unlimited service for a special promotional price of only KD 9.
