Amazing! I was watching updates from a local news network and i heard this lovely service that etisalat has innovated for its subscribers.
You won't beleive this is just like a social network for subscribers under the etisalat network without internet connection thats why its so unique. Its called Dot Me !
This service allows you to post an update by sending full stop (.) then your message to 8900 e.g .Am at home eating. send it to 8900 and your status will be updated. Thats means you are a dotter!
Whats the essence of my status if no one can read it?
Believe me, there are people who would love to read your posts and updates including friends and family from other networks.
This is just like following on twitter. I mean they'll follow you and request for your latest update.
All they have to do is type full stop(.) and send it to your number to read your latest update. You can also do that for other etisalat subscribers by typing . (full stop) then send to the subscriber's number (dotting).
Note that i used full stop above just to illustrate. What you only need to send is . to the subscriber's number to read his/her latest update.
Also, your message/status must not be more than 140 characters.
Oh! Lest i forget, this service costs 1 Naira per sms/update for etisalat subscribers and for subscribers on other networks, normal sms rates apply.
In Summary
To post a status update on Dot Me from etisalat , send your status update to 8900 ;
To check for a subscriber's latest update, you'll have to dot the subscriber by sending . to the etisalat number and you'll receive his/her latest status via text message. It means you have followed that subscriber and they'll do the same to follow you if they wish.
Another interesting part is that mobile network subscribers all over the world can read your updates provided they know your mobile number and they have dotted you.
Now etisalat subscribers can now rock using text messages or should i say social network of text messages? Lol.
Start posting now and update your friends and family for a very very cheap rate.
Cheers!
