Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has reportedly suspended the instant voice communications ‘Line’.
The services have reportedly been suspended for failing to comply with regulations.
The Saudi Telecommunications Regulatory Authority is expected to issue a statement in this regard, reported Arabic daily Al-Riyadh.
Meanwhile, a hashtag has been created by some users urging authorities to unblock the online services.
The Kingdom had in the past suspended services of Skype, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger for failing to comply with regulations.
“Appropriate action will be taken against applications or services that do not comply with the regulations,” a ministry spokesman was quoted by Arab News as saying.
Loss of revenues by the telecom operators in the Kingdom is cited as the main reason for putting constraints on the use of Internet voice calls and other messaging services.
