Commenting on the launch of UClub in Kuwait, Arun Nagar, Managing Director, Cellucom stated, "UClub caters to the need for an interactive content-based community for mobile phone users and enthusiasts who want to get more from their mobile. Although there are several latest mobile phones in the market, these innovative gadgets have remained idle due to the non-availability of supportive features.

"UClub is a platform to reach out to our customers, providing them with an enhanced mobile experience. UClub offers designer polyphonic and monotonic ring-tones in various languages including Arabic, Hindi, and English apart from Java games and animated screensavers. Being one of the select few companies offering such a service in the region, especially in Kuwait, we see a great potential for UClub to tap the booming mobile phone market," said Nagar.

"Following UClub's huge success among the youth of UAE, we are confident to make a major impact amongst the Kuwaiti youth community. Our fully updated portal aims at providing latest information and new content to our customers in Kuwait," he added.

New members joining UClub can personalize their mobile phone using a variety of unique localized content from true tones, video clips, themes and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), animated pictures, wallpaper or logos.
