Batelco, Bahrain’s leading mobile operator presented fully equipped tents to four lucky customers who were the winners in Batelco’s recent MMS promotion, at a ceremony held at Seef Mall recently. The promotion was open to all Batelco postpaid and prepaid mobile customers.
Each MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) that customers sent during the month of December were counted automatically and the four customers who sent the most MMS were selected as the winners.
The winners are Mohammed Salah, Nooh Salman Mohd Ali and Aqeel Saleh Jaffer. One winner requested not to he named.
MMS allows users to send text, pictures, sound clips and video clips to mobile customers all over the world. Use the service to send long text messages, share graduation pictures, send photos or video of your new baby to relatives and greet those closest to you on their birthday or any special occasion such as Eid and the New Year.
Multimedia Messaging is available to all Batelco postpaid and prepaid customers who have handsets with GPRS and MMS capabilities. Customers need to ensure they have the appropriate mobile settings in order to send MMS. To activate the service, customers can call 196 and have the settings sent to them over the air (OTA) or alternatively the settings can be downloaded from www.batelco.com/simcardmenu/
Customers who don’t already have a GPRS / MMS enabled handset are invited to visit any Batelco Shop where staff can advise them on the most suitable model for their needs and budget.
For customers who would like to subscribe for a Batelco postpaid or prepaid mobile package, a wide range is available to suit the needs of every requirement and budget. Visit any Batelco Shop to discover the deal that suits you best.
“We are delighted to be making this year’s camping season a special occasion for these lucky customers; we hope they enjoy their new fully equipped tents,” said Batelco Corporate Affairs General Manager, Ahmed Al Janahi.
