Good news for Azercell and SimSim subscribers SMS with 50% discount

Baku, March 25, 2002

Since ancient times, people all over the world have needed to communicate with each other. Various methods have been used to meet this need, including messengers, carrier pigeons, postmen, telegraphs, teletype and other message-sending devices. A dramatic increase in the volume of this information exchange gave rise to a new technology in the form of short message services through GSM. From the standpoint of new technological innovations, short message service has already become a very popular method of communication.

Azercell’s MesajCELL service allows you to exchange short text messages with other GSM subscribers. MesajCELL is an indispensable communications tool to use when talking is not possible (such as when you are at a meeting, film or concert) or if you wish to send or receive information in text format. The best way to find out about the usefulness of this SMS service is to try it. It’s very easy: simply enter the Azercell Service Center Number, +99 450 910-33-00, into your phone menu and start sending or receiving short messages.

Azercell Telecom J.V. introduced this SMS service in Azerbaijan long ago; now the company wants to widen the scope of MesajCELL and stimulate its usage. As an incentive, Azercell is currently offering a 50% discount on all short text messages to make it easy for subscribers to use this service. Azercell subscribers now pay 242 AZM (excluding VAT) instead of 485 AZM for each short message sent. For SimSim subscribers, the charge for sending a short message is now 11 units instead of 22. Note that a short message may not exceed 160 characters.
