Info2cell.com, the leading wireless application service provider in the MENA region, has announced that it has partnered with Gillette for a major promotional text messaging contest for buyers of its deodorant line in the UAE. Customers will get the chance to win either a new Dodge Charger or one of 20 gift certificates from Magrabi Optical.
