Fastlink Data Services supervisor, Khaled Nuseibeh, said that mobiles with built in cameras have become widely used, adding more fun and value to the device and taking the mobile a step forward towards replacing the traditional photo camera.
Nuseibeh said many mobile phone manufacturers have been working on producing devices with high quality built in digital cameras to meet the needs of customers. The new partnership with Kodak, allows users to print photos at any of Kodak outlets, which can be found in various locations across the Kingdom.
Fastlink customers, who wish to use the service and get their pictures printed, can simply send an MMS to (90970). Shortly after, they would receive an SMS containing the telephone number of Kodak customer's service. When calling the number, a Kodak employee would guide them to the nearest Kodak shop to their location, where they can obtain the print.
Fastlink offers customers a wide range of advanced voice and data services that meet the needs of various groups at affordable rates. Customers now enjoy GPRS, MMS and other data services that allow them to receive daily news briefs, weather forecasts, and caricatures in addition to the ability to access the Internet through the mobile phone, all of which are transforming the device into a multi usage tool.
