Anghami Partners with Huawei to Offer RBT Activation in Addition to Music Streaming

BEIRUT, June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --



Anghami, the leading mobile music application in the Middle East and North Africa
region with over 5 million downloads, announced a partnership with Huawei, a major global
information and communications technology solutions provider, to enable Anghami users to
easily activate ringback tones (RBT) with a single click while streaming music. Both teams
will be integrating the Huawei RBT API in Anghami's app and working on bridging Anghami's
telecom partners VAS services.



RBT allows mobile phone owners to replace the standard call-waiting tone with their
favorite song, thereby allowing them to express themselves through their favourite song.
Adding RBT as a feature in Anghami will emphasize Anghami's mission to make music a more
social experience and add to the user's choices of sharing with their friends privately or
on social networks.



RBT is a major VAS revenue generator for telecom operators and music labels in MENA.
Anghami has successfully partnered with 11 telecom operators in the region to date
including Mobily KSA, Alfa Lebanon and Vodafone Qatar more recently, launching both telco
billing for its premium service and exciting bundles that provide unlimited mobile
streaming and downloads, as well as dedicated music data for customers.



Anghami is excited about this collaboration that will benefit its users, its content
partners and its telco partners. Anghami co-founder Eddy Maroun notes, "We are delighted
with our partnership with Huawei, the world's largest vendor in RBT platforms, because it
allows us to become a more complete platform for music. We will also be able to help
business partners, which are directly contributing to our growth with their marketing
activities, benefit from the Anghami user base while driving new revenue streams
together."
