WE CAN PICTURE SURE SKATE SUCCESS
The first weekend of Sure Skate has seen over 2,000 skaters take
to the ice following a stunning performance from Kyran Bracken on
launch day. And now islanders are being encouraged to send in
mobile phone photos of their own antics on the ice.
Islanders are being encouraged to take their
own photos on the ice at Sure Skate and MMS these to telephone
number 238238. They will then appear on the Sure Skate web site,
set up especially for the purpose. The best photos, which will be
selected after Sure Skate closes on 4th January, will win a Nokia
5630 Xpress Music handset.
The competition has been organised by Nokia
Siemens Networks and Sure as part of a joint promotion to drive
increased data usage, following Nokia Siemens Networks’ recent
upgrade of Sure’s 3G network in Jersey and the launch of 3G
services in Guernsey earlier this month.
“We are really excited to see the photos from
islanders having fun this Christmas. It will be a great website to
look through as I’m sure everyone will spot someone they know on
the ice. This competition is also a great way to demonstrate just
how fantastic 3G technology is and what can be achieved with even
the most basic mobile camera phones on sale today,” said Paul
Taylor, Marketing Director, Sure Guernsey.
Andy Tempest, head of the customer team for UK
operators at Nokia Siemens Networks added: “The competition is a
great way to encourage people to set up their phones for MMS, see
how fun picture messaging can be, and utilise the high quality,
reliable network infrastructure which Sure has on the
island.”
Sure Skate is being organised in conjunction
with Kyran Bracken’s Ice Party and sponsors Sure and Nokia Siemens
Networks. The Sure Skate ice rink officially opened on 11th
December with the final day of skating scheduled for 4th January at
the Market Square, Guernsey.
