Dardashat (Chat Rooms)
d1g’s chat rooms are locations for users to discuss various subjects, meet people, and network with users from around the world. The service provides chat rooms with specific topics for users to engage and express themselves.

Forums
The “d1g’s forums” is an arena for open discussions regarding an array of subjects, including politics, religion, social issues, art, news, health, technology, sport/cars, mobiles/telecommunication, poetry and literature to name a few.

News
d1g sources its daily news from a company it acquired, yasater.com. The news are fed dynamically and updated several times a day. Currently, the online news market is congested with portals focusing on Arabic political, business, economic and sports news.

SMS
d1g.com offers its users to send five free short messages (SMS) per day to any mobile number(s) of their choice. The SMS is transmitted using the sender’s verified mobile phone number, therefore displaying the sender’s name on the recipient’s mobile phone, provided the sender is included in the recipient’s address book. This service is available in Jordan, Iraq, the Gulf, and Egypt. North Africa is scheduled to be included in the near future.
Arabic Search Engine
