Ramadan & Mobile Phone Messages in Saudi Arabia

short messages systems (SMS) have taken a new turn, both in quantity and quality, with the advent of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia. Messages’ content vary from congratulations and exchange of jokes to urging Saudis to be more open to charitable deeds in Ramadan.

In addition to messages used and circulated by all Saudis, each region of Saudi Arabia does have its own special group of messages...

Messages exchanged among Makkah residents still have certain flavor for all Saudis though.

As for joke-based congratulation messages on the occasion of Ramadan, they have mostly focused on making fun of Satan and his evil followers whose negative effects die away during the holy month.
