SMS greetings during Ramadan deplored

An insightful article written by Raid Qusti in Al Jazeerah, deplores changes in the Saudi society under the influence of capitalist culture, particularly in the behavior and habits of people during Ramadan.

"A major change I noticed this year is that nobody wants to make the effort to pick up the phone and exchange Ramadan greetings which for decades was the norm in our society. Why make a phone call to your dear ones and blabber away causing your phone bill to skyrocket when you can send an SMS for only 30 halalas? "
