P a g e 2 9 P A U 3 A ! Create the Circle of Life on your Mobilen (Mobimak only) Hope this is helpful. You’ll save money. Thank me later. 1. Write down the phone numbers that you want in your circle. 2. Dial 122 (Don’t worry Mr. McCheaperson, it’s a free call) 3. Immediately press 2 so the operator will start speaking English. 4-10. Then she’ll say, “The call toward the IVR system is free-of-charge if you are dialing from the Mobimak network” and then she’ll say something about an operator. Then she’ll say, “For activation or deactivation of the services, press 1” (PRESS 1, hurry!) Then she’ll say, “The status change of every service is possible 4 times in 24 hours. For the service (something indecipherable) in my circle, press 1.” (PRESS 1 again!!!!!) Okay, at this point, you’ve got to be patient. Listen to what she says, and punch in your numbers. You’ll get a text message after each one telling you that it’s in your circle. You can only change out the phone numbers once per month. So be smart. If your friend is going to Egypt for three weeks next month, don’t put her in there. If you put some semi-hot guy in there and then he turns out not to be worth it, don’t worry, you can change it next month. Just dial all that above again, and try to listen and follow directions. (Note: Don’t worry, sometimes the network is busy, and you can’t create the circle. Just keep checking back until you can.) Oh yeah, what the hell is a “friends circle”? You can text message these 3 special Mobimak customers for only 3 denari per poraka, and phone calls will only put you out 6 denari per minuta, 24 hours per day. Ok, also, for some of you, this is your first textual experience, and I want to give you some codes to help you shorten it up. Take this advice with a grain of sol.
