Prayer and fasting times direct to your mobile phone
MyAdhan has launched its prayer and fasting times SMS text message alert service to Muslims in the United Kingdom. The subscription service is simple, sign up to the website, configure your account and then start receiving daily text message prayer and fasting time specific to your location. MyAdhan also allows subscribers to add friends and family to their accounts making MyAdhan the perfect Dawah tool.
Muslims in the UK can also get prayer times by request, without subscription. MyAdhan's TEXTback service can be used to receive accurate postcode-specific fasting and prayer times, sent directly to your mobile, when you need it. More details on MyAdhan TEXTBack here.
The MyAdhan service has been a work in progress for the last three years, the majority of which has been spent testing the service delivery and accuracy of times. Although a number of other companies have sprung up since the MyAdhan preview way back in April 2001, no single company has successfully delivered on a simple, reliable and effective prayer alerts service specific to all UK locations (Most services use general times for UK towns and cities).
Many people argue that a service like this should be free but to be able to provide a quality and reliable service MyAdhan charges roughly the same cost as sending a SMS text message from your phone. The MyAdhan subscriber service is charged at 12p per message received. Each indivdual mobile on an account is individually reverse billed, so the bill payer of a mobile phone pays for the messages on their regular mobile phone bill. MyAdhan does not hide any of its costs associated to its services and notifies subscribers of charges prior to being billed.
