In its bid to drum up a loyal following, to anticipate Zain's foray into the Saudi telecommunications market, Al Jawal has become more aggressive in both service offerings and clever advertisements. JWT Riyadh executed this campaign for the Saudi telecom operator, which communicates the idea that users can speak for as long as they need. Check out the second advertisement of the campaign here.

Saudi Arabia’s Communication and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has asked Canada-based Research In Motion, the makers of BlackBerry, to allow the telecoms regulator access to monitor messages sent by the mobile device through BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) network. CITC wants access in order to monitor the messages, and are threatening to shut down the service for non-compliance.

BBM is a special messaging service for BlackBerry phone users. For a monthly flat fee, BlackBerry owners can share messages, IM and multimedia with other BlackBerry owners.

There have been rumours that the BBM service will stopped this week, but CITC has not commented on such reports.

Meanwhile, BBM maker Research in Motion (RIM) said it is investigating reports in the Arab press that Saudi regulators have asked the company for access to its unique messaging service for its BlackBerry devices.

"RIM operates in more than 170 countries around the world and respects the regulatory requirements of governments," the company said in a statement issued to Arab News. "RIM is investigating the reported matter in Saudi Arabia and will provide an update once further information is available."
