The first of its kind in Africa, dedicated to the late Imam Mass Jah, Qcell Muslim phone will set a new challenge in the GSM market in Gambia. It comes with a colour screen, FM radio, long life battery and alerts Muslims on their five daily prayers, according to The Daily Observer newspaper in the country.
The Chief Executive Officer of QCell, Muhammed Jah, said the new phone is a classic product and the cheapest in the country, retailing at a discounted price of D750.
“We are aiming to place ourselves as industry standards in Gambia and as such, our goal and challenges are very high. The president’s vision 2020, the Silicon Valley project, and many other initiatives, are all timely responses to the technological challenges of our age”, Muhammed Jah said.
The Muslim feature automatically alerts the owner of the daily prayers, irrespective of the country of traveling. The user needs only to select the country and the phone will automatically reveal the prayers times of that particular country, said the QCell executive.The Muslim feature kicks in even if the phone is off, he added.
QCell is the leading GSM operator in Gambia and the only 3G network in Gambia, offering fast Internet access, multimedia sharing and chat services to its users.
I would like to buy Muslim Phone from QCell for distribution.
