give the phone to a mullah in abuja....there are lots of them that will be more than happy to heed such call through a mobile phone.
by the way, why should a call to prayer be installed in a mobile phone for God's sake, what if you are in a meeting and the call to prayer rings out.............stop the meeting and get out?

zYo...
I live in Saudi now. Although I'm muslim i dont consider myself devout or even religious in any way. I was brought up in Canada so that might explain it.

Here's the Saudi version of Muezzin entertainment. Every 3 or 4 city blocks must have a minaret. Come azzan time, it's shear audio terror INSIDE your house. It's eardrum-busting. It's so loud the heart starts to beat fast. "Muezzins" in my neighborhood sound like the devil! As u said, any half-hearted desperate nutcase can land that job. It's really really sad.
I was on the phone the other day with someone in Zurich. It was (of course!) during prayer time. He couldn't hear a thing I was saying "who is that lunatic shouting at your end!!".
The shops close 5 times a day. I got caught once standing up and walking around in a shopping mall during prayer time. I was promptly stopped by a cop and asked to sit down, at least, if I choose not to pray!!! I just walked out fuming.
Sorry I'm in a complaining mood!
PS. Say did u go out to enjoy the Abuja Carnival? It ends this Sunday.

A Buddhist phone, would have jingling sounds of bells followed by temple hymns once a day. Come to think of it, why not try to reinstall the OS, I guess its either win2003 or mobile win 5.0, whichever it is, you could always back up the phone data and sms, and reinstall a clean OS.
