[General] زين تسعى لجلب تويتر إلى شبكتها | zain to get twitter to its network!

[Majed B.]

Wataniya has SMS reporting enabled. I don't see how a company in the
size of Zain can't handle some extra bandwidth for the stupid
reports!!!

I agree with you Bashar; if they're to lock this tweeting to Zain
only, then they still don't get it...

A better idea to attract customers is to create an API for twitter
allowing Zain customers to tweet for free via SMS. (If not free, then
@ very reduced rate: 1-5 fils -- even though I don't see why people
would go for the paid when they have Internet on their phone).
