Wataniya Telecom unveils cool new cartoon and comic content for Kuwait

Every Wednesday, 'Action' subscribers will be able to receive the colorful and animated cartoon strips on their mobiles via a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) sent directly to their mobiles.

Subscription to Action 'Ziggy' and 'Heathcliff' comics are activated by sending an SMS to 1433 with the message 'sub ziggy' and 'sub heathcliff', respectively. Action subscribers will also find it easy to access the new comic services online by logging on to Wataniya's Funtec website http://www.wataniya.com/funtec.

'The new services are part of Wataniya's on-going roll-out of 'Action' offering and use images and motion pictures to provide a unique and colorful experience to mobile users in the country.'
