sesCell Umrah Guide Audio System: The Guide's Voice on Pilgrims' Phones, No Headset Devices Needed

Addressing a large group in the Masjid al-Haram, at the Rawdah or at visitation sites is the hardest part of a guide's job; FM transmitter and headset sets have to be rented, handed out, charged, and they get lost. sesCell, which I developed for Umrah and Hajj tour operators, moves this setup to the phone: the guide starts broadcasting from their own phone, and pilgrims scan a QR code and listen live in the browser.

Quick answersesCell is a multi-company live audio broadcast system developed by Hakan Sevimoğlu for Umrah and Hajj tour operators, live at sescell.com. The guide broadcasts from their phone with one tap; pilgrims listen in the browser via QR code or a 6-digit group code, without downloading an app. There is no headset cost per pilgrim, and it takes 3 minutes from setup to the first broadcast. Roll call, emergency help, a group map, voice announcements, the schedule, voice messages, 76 prayers sourced from Diyanet (Turkey's Presidency of Religious Affairs), a tawaf and sa'y counter, a qibla compass, Mecca and Medina prayer times and a guide to 42 visitation sites are included in the package. A 7-day free trial is available.

sesCell Umrah guide audio system: the guide's voice in the pilgrims' pocket; join-by-code box, no app download, works anywhere on 4G/5G and Wi-Fi, KVKK compliant; phone showing a live Mecca group broadcast, attendance 42/45 present, meeting point announcement, next prayer and emergency help alert

Three roles, three steps

  • Company: applies and gets the account approved; adds its guides from the panel and monitors live broadcasts, emergency help requests and survey results
  • Guide: creates a group, shares the QR code or 6-digit code, taps the microphone and starts speaking
  • Pilgrim: scans the QR code with the phone camera and taps "Start listening"; optionally adds it to the home screen and turns on notifications

Pilgrims do not need to download anything from the App Store or Google Play; the broadcast opens in the browser. When the broadcast stops, the audio stops, and it resumes automatically when the guide starts again. Audio plays while the page is open even if the phone is on silent.

Group management alongside the broadcast

  • One-tap roll call: an "I'm here" button appears on every phone, and those who respond are listed
  • Emergency help: a pilgrim requests help with one tap; the guide receives an alarm and the location with directions
  • Group map: locations of pilgrims who give permission, sorted by distance to the Kaaba
  • Voice announcements: arrive as a notification and are read aloud on the pilgrim's phone
  • Schedule and voice messages: the daily schedule is shared and the next event is highlighted; pilgrims leave voice messages and the guide sends voice notes to the group
sesCell pilgrim phone screen: live pre-tawaf briefing, attendance 42/45, meeting point changed announcement, next noon prayer schedule and emergency help with location sent to the guide; bottom menu with broadcast, announcements, schedule and tools

In-app tools

Alongside the broadcast, the pilgrim's phone has a prayer library of 76 prayers sourced from Diyanet, a tawaf and sa'y counter, a qibla compass, Mecca and Medina prayer times and a guide to 42 visitation sites. With elderly pilgrims in mind, text and buttons are large, and starting to listen takes a single step.

Do pilgrims need to download an app?

No. When they scan the QR code, the broadcast opens in the browser; they can add it to the home screen if they wish.

Does it work without internet?

No. Both the guide and the pilgrim need internet; 4G/5G coverage is strong in Mecca and Medina, and hotels have Wi-Fi.

Can multiple guides broadcast at the same time?

Yes, depending on the package. Each group has its own 6-digit code and QR code.

Is the data compliant with KVKK (Turkish data protection law)?
