    I NTRODUCTION

    Short Message Service (SMS) is a text


    messageservice built around the mobile
    phone communication technology that
    enables messages of 160 characters to
    be sent to mobile phones. SMS’s are
    stored and forwarded so the message
    will be sent later if the phone is not
    immediately available.

    Bulk SMS messaging provides almost


    instantaneous communication media to a
    person or group of people on the go.

    Research has shown that SMS has the


    capacity to access large number of
    people with mobile connectivity
    efficiently with high probability of
    them reading the messages.
    The table above shows the effectiveness
    of SMS compared to other form of
    communication channel in reaching a
    large audience.
    .P RODUCT D ESCRIPTION

    We are proposing to implement our


    product Relationship Management texting
    to be implemented by Jabatan Agama
    Islam for use by Masjid’s within it’s
    jurisdiction. It is a simple but
    powerful tool to reach the kariah to
    disseminate information on the masjid’s
    activity. We propose the project to be
    funded by the Government so to deliver
    free services to the kariah.

    How does it work:

    All Masjids will be given a unique id


    number. Each masjid will register
    authorized phone numbers to send
    messages to the kariah.

    E.g Masjid Muadz Ibn Jabal Setiawangsa


    ID: MMJS
    Authorized Number:
    Tok Imam 0192560000
    Tok Siak 0162569000

    People in the kariah who wants to


    Subscribe Type REG MMJS and send to
    99999. Each person in the kariah can
    only register for free to receive info
    from 1 masjid. Additional masjid’s will
    be charged a minimal fee.

    Masjid Officers to send information to


    the people within their congregation
    will need to send message to just one
    number and the message will be sent to
    all those who subscribed to the kariah.

    e.g Tok Imam for MMJS will send the


    following message to all those in the
    congregation using the registered phone
    number for the masjid.

    Type MSG KULIAH SUBUH OLEH UST ALI


    23/10 TOPIK TAFSIR AL-BAQARAH, ADA
    SARAPAN PAGI and send to 99999.

    The cost of the messages will either be


    borne by the government or sponsorship.
