Ooredoo changes network name to ‘Tamim Almajd,’ Twitter goes bonkers!

Qatar’s first telecommunications company Ooredoo made an announcement earlier in the day that they were changing the name of their network to ‘Tamim Almajd’ as a show of solidarity to HH The Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

As the change was rolled out around Qatar, Twitter exploded with many messages of solidarity and appreciation. Here are some of the best of them.

Have your network name changed yet? If it hasn't, just enter your phone into airplane mode and activate it back again and it should be changed. 

Bravo, Ooredoo. Great and timely move!

This s great news. Before there used to be a lot of stupid people who would say that we should just do what our sponsors said. Bit now Qatar is proving that it is important to tell a bad sponsor to leave you alone!
