RIYADH: Mobily on Sunday honored the first winners of its Hawiyyati campaign, which urge prepaid subscribers to update their personal data lest their lines are disconnected. The ceremony, which took place at Mobily’s Fully Branded Outlet on Prince Mohammed Bin Abdul Aziz (Tahlia) in Riyadh, was attended by COO Abdulaziz Altamami and a number of other Mobily agents as well as a representative of the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The winner of the first prize, a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV, was Mishari Al-Raudan. Saud Al-Harbi, Ahmed Za’eri, Ibrahim Al-Sa’edi, Abdurrazzaq Shuaib from Nigeria and Mohammed Amin from India, all won Toyota Camry sedans.
Altamami congratulated the winners and praised their help in making the campaign a success by way of taking the initiative to update their data. He encouraged all prepaid subscribers who have not yet updated their data to hurry and do so, in order to maintain their privacy and protect themselves from identity theft, and to prevent having their lines disconnected after the end of the campaign. Altamami also thanked Mobily’s authorized distributors for their active contributions to the success of the campaign.
Information Flow Manager Athbi Alaqeel said he was happy with the success of the campaign, which came in response to instructions by the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CTIC) to all mobile operators in the Kingdom on having their prepaid subscribers update their personal information.
The winners stressed the importance of Mobily’s campaign, which they said would reduce the risks of misuse of SIM cards and protect the privacy of subscribers.
Mobily launched nationwide campaign earlier this month which is expected to last through year’s end. The campaign aims to prompt Mobily’s prepaid subscribers to update their personal data and qualify for a draw on 56 automobiles. The campaign has been launched in cooperation with Mobily’s authorized distributors, Safari, Callem, Musbah, Haddad, Channels Axiom and Saudi Call.
Mobily has set up phone numbers for subscribers to use to enter the draw after they finish updating their data. These numbers are 1412 for Arabic, 1413 for English, 1414 for Urdu, 1415 for Hindi, 1416 for Tagalog and 1417 for Bangla. Chances of winning increase with every SR10 increment in charging.
