Zong Take One

A new and interesting service by Zong to share media with others (for pre-paid and post-paid). You will need a GPRS enabled phone and GPRS activated for your mobile number.
TakeOne is a service by Zong which enables mobile users to share their photos and videos by:
Sending to any mobile in the world
Sending to various online destinations – Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa
Sending to any email address
Take One is the answer to the PicShare service by Telenor. Nokia has also introduced the Ovi service.
This is a direct competition for the popular sharing and social network services.The trend is fast moving from PCs to phones and operators like Zong want to be the service provider.
The service is supposed to be easy — you take a picture and you get a prompt on whether you want to send / share that. However depending on the user this kind of prompt may be a convenience or annoyance. Overall the usability of the application will be a major factor in its success.
Subscription charges are Rs.25+tax per month and you can share unlimited photos and videos. Data (GPRS) charges are applicable to this service.
