Through a Multi Media Messaging Service (MMS) sent directly to their handsets, Kuwaiti mobile users will be able to read Qu'ranic verses displayed in Arabic calligraphy along with audio of verses read to them. Subscribers to the new 'Ayat Al Haq' service can receive the Qu'ranic verses from one to five times a day based on their preferences.
"The 'Ayat Al Haq' service is one of most unique services we are providing to our Action subscribers. It directly maps to the lifestyle of the majority of Kuwaitis," said Fuad Al Ablani, Assistant GM, Wataniya Telecom.
Customers will find it easy to subscribe to Wataniya's new 'Ayat Al-Haq' service by simply sending an SMS to 1551 with the message 'SUB Q'. Action subscribers can also go to the 'Funtec' website http://www.wataniya.com/funtec and subscribe to receive up to five Qu'ranic verses per day.
"With Action, we are delivering services and content that people want and can use. We are bringing a whole new experience to mobile users in Kuwait by providing them with advanced multimedia entertainment, information and lifestyle service that uses color, audio, animation and video images," said Al Ablani.
