Local Mobile Network Launches 'WondeRing' Service
By Maya Salleh

Bandar Seri Begawan - The mobile telecommunication services in the country yesterday saw the launch of another ingenious service dubbed as the "WondeRing".

Awg Hj Mohd Rozan bin Dato Paduka Hj Mohd Yunos, Senior Administrative Officer at the Prime Minister's Office and guest of honour, officiated the launch ceremony held at the Sheraton Utama Hotel in the capital.

Also present were Awg Saifulbahri Pehin Dato Hj Jaya, Deputy Managing Director of DST Group, Heads of Unit of DST-Group and some prominent figures from both local and overseas companies.

The ceremony commenced with a foreword delivered by Mr Wong Chin Toon, Managing Director of Green City Concept Sdn Bhd, who briefly described the unique features of the "WondeRing" service.

The service, Mr Wong explained, is a personalised "caller tune" also known as "ring back tone".

The service enables the caller to hear a distinctive sound such as a favourite song tune or even a unique voice' through the mobile phone instead of the standard ring tones.

Subscribers can choose one tune for all incoming calls, or random play from a few selected tones, or even assign specific tones for different callers.

The foreword by Mr. Wong was followed by a remark delivered by the guest of honour in which he lauded the "WondeRing" service as what he saw would be part of the new technology of tomorrow.

He also stated that it marked the beginning of the realisation of the extent of the power of mobile phones which can affect a third party and not just the user.

To register, users only need to dial 123 which bear a charge of B$0.50 per minute, with a monthly subscription fee of $5. Each tone is charged at $3.00 per download.

"WondeRing" service is now available for all Prima subscribers and will be available for Easi users in the coming months. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
