It is common in the business world for companies to start local before going global. However, Saudi company “Dial Us” did the opposite. It was started in early 2007 by a group of enterprising Saudi youth in India who set up a telecom office in Singapore for all kinds of inquiries. During the next five years, “Dial Us” continued forming its construction of sophisticated IT environment mainly for inquiries in the highest international standards, before heading to open a similar one in Saudi Arabia. It built a virtual world that paves the way for providing innovative service in the Middle East, as well as keeping the Kingdom as the main core for this launching. Many services in “Dial Us” are processed within seconds through easy, distinctive and unified number – 920000092 or website: www.dialus.com. After completing all phases of the project, the company began its first actual steps to receive calls from the public to provide them with direct numbers for the services or inquiries they are looking for, including specialized companies, restaurants, bakeries, workshops, reductions, manufacturers of certain products, nearest saloon, pastry shops, electricity, plumbing, cleaning, furniture delivery, among others. “Dial Us” General Director Eng. M. Altaleaa said “our service is the beginning of the road for releasing the public from monopoly, no one can be an exclusive provider.” Operating 24 hours, seven days a week, any inquiry or call asking about a particular service, will receive promptly an SMS on the caller's mobile of the requested numbers.
