Another entertainment service offered by Itisaluna is SMS2TV, which is an interactive service that allows subscribers to communicate with various Arab satellite channels and television programs via short messages.
On the launch of their services in Karbala, Itisaluna's official spokesperson said: "It is our great pleasure today to share with the beloved residents of Karbala the joy of launching Itisaluna's services in the province; a service which is based on one of the latest and most important telecommunications technology, CDMA2000, and we are certain that we will achieve in Karbala the same success we achieved in Baghdad and Basra.
