MobileCom launches three new services, the first of their kind in the Jordanian market: Mobile TV, Push E-mail and Dandanah, the latest in mobile technology today.
Push E-mail connects a user's e-mail directly with their mobile phone. It is a flexible service that gives users total control over their e-mails through their mobile phones; and an effective one that allows users to send and receive e-mails, with attachments, to mobile phones.
Mobile TV allows MobileCom subscribers to download programs from local and satellite channels via mobile phones and then watch them as though they were watching TV.
The "Dandanah" service gives MobileCom subscribers the chance to distinguish themselves and add a personal touch by exchanging classic ringtones with more upbeat ones. Subscribers can choose a ringtone from a number of Arabic and foreign songs, or parts of comedies or musical pieces, which makes waiting for the person to answer the phone more interesting. |
