If your phone rings you better answer. It might be a message from God.
A new text message service launched yesterday in Sydney allows mobile phone users to
receive Bible passages direct to their handsets.
* The project - Daily Verse SMS - was developed by religious group Church Resources along
with the Bible Society in Australia.
It aims to bring "prayerful reflection" into people's daily lives, Church
Resources chief executive Father Michael Kelly said.
"Mobile phones offer an immediate and very personal way of engaging with people. You've
got to yell if you want to sell," he said. "Now they are a way of
encountering the word of God."
* The service is only available to people connected to the Telstra mobile telephone
network and costs 30c per verse received.
Customers can subscribe by texting the phrase "ON.BIB" to the number 176 and
unsubscribe by sending the message "OFF.BIB".
