AIS, Thailand's largest mobile phone operator along with Ozura Mobile, one of the leading publishers and developers of mobile entertainment, have joined forces to bring the Miss Thailand 2006 Beauty Queen game series to mobile handsets across Thailand.

"We are extremely excited to introduce this product to our subscribers, which is the first of its kind. Due to close relations with the owners of the Beauty Queen franchise, Ozura was more than happy to customize their Beauty Queen series to feature Miss Thailand 2006, Miss Lalana Kongtoranin," said Mr. Somchai Lertsutiwong, Vice-President Wireless Service Business of Advanced Info Service (Public) Co., Ltd. or AIS.

The games were launched earlier this week by Kongtoranin at the AIS Game Festival. Developed especially for mobile phones, the appropriately named game features Kongtoranin going about her daily life in a 3 game series titled Exercise, On Stage and Charity.

The games will be available exclusively on CoreGame (coregame.ais.co.th), AIS' very own mobile gaming community and are the featured tournament games. Users will be able to download the game upon joining CoreGame to compete in the tournaments which will last approximately 2 months. The winners will be identified at the end of the tournament and will win points which can be redeemed for prizes at CoreGame's virtual gift shop.

CoreGame runs on FunlogiX, Ozura's proprietary mobile gaming community platform and features a comprehensive suite of mobile gaming services including tournament and multiplayer games, clubs and in-game chat. Launched as a pilot service 2 months ago and now made available to all AIS subscribers, CoreGame is the first mobile gaming community in Thailand. AIS is Thailand's first mobile operator to launch a mobile gaming community and is the fourth operator in the region to launch on FunlogiX, after operators in Malaysia and Indonesia.

"CoreGame members will be able to play multiplayer games not only with Thais, but with Malaysians and Indonesians and soon, with other nationalities in countries all over the world including China and the Unites States. The content in the community is dynamic and will be updated on a constant basis with new features to be added soon thus giving AIS subscribers non-stop fun and entertainment," added Jong.
