Phone-in system provides unique service

A Riyadh-based company announced the launch of a new phone-based service to help callers locate services and establishments in the Kingdom.
The free-of-charge service offered by the Dialus IT and Communications Company will accept inquiries on a 24-hour basis from all parts of the Kingdom.
Director General Mahmoud Al-Tlea’a told a news conference on Thursday that the caller simply dials 920000092 to inquire about services in the Kingdom. The user then gets a text message with details of the location, contact information and other relevant data.
“We have stored more than 2,600 services in our database from more than a million establishment,” he noted.
Specialized services such as restaurants, bakeries, workshops, manufacturers of certain products, hotels, car rentals, clinics, pharmacies, saloons, maintenance operators, training institutes and schools all have listings.
“People can also browse our website, www.dialus.com. It provides you with a number of suppliers, gives you the opportunity to select the ones you want, and then ask us to send their details to your mobile or e-mail,” he said.
