Sri Lanka Telecom’s mobile unit, Mobitel, recently launched a facility whereby it would carry Sinhala language classifieds, free-of-charge, on its WAP portal - wap.luhudu.mobi.

According to a company statement, these classifieds, which are open to "the entire WAP enabled Sri Lankan mobile community and not limited only to Mobitel subscribers", are accepted free-of-charge "via any Mobitel touch point (branch/dealer outlet) across the initial listing categories that include automobiles, real estate and mobile phones".

Further, pictures via MMS will also be accepted for inclusion with the classifieds. The statement also goes on to identify local developer Science Land Corporation as Mobitel's partner in creating this platform.
