As part of its preparations for Hajj, Mobily's has reached agreements with international telecom companies, making it the biggest mobile operator to provide a wide range of roaming and international services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said Humoud Al-Ghobaini, senior manager of corporate communications at Mobily in a press statement yesterday. The accords cover voice services with 385 mobile operators, MMS and GPRS services with 150 operators in different parts of the world, he said. “Now, pilgrims or visitors to Saudi Arabia can easily send multimedia messaging back to their countries by using their home SIM cards, or using Mobily SIM cards, so they can be connected not only through voice but also through vide clips and photos. This is a unique service by Mobily and was introduced for the first time in the Kingdom by the Kingdom's second mobile service operator two years ago.” AL Ghobaini added. “Yet this year, we have expanded the international network of this service to include six GCC countries, most of Arab countries, and international countries that have this service, including some operators in India, Malaysia, and Pakistan.” --MORE
