ROME-Not only can your mobile phone keep you in touch with friends, family and co-workers, it can also keep you closer to the Holy See.
Under a new service from wireless application company Acotel, wireless users in Europe can sign up to receive the Papal Thought of the Day through text messages. The updates, culled from the pope’s homilies, messages and speeches, are available through Irish operators Vodafone, MmO2 and Meteor. The service has been available in Italy since January.
“We are very proud of this initiative, which offers us the opportunity to work with the Holy See Press Office, offering it our technology and our efforts in the mobility field,” said Ciaran Carey, Acotel’s general manager. “We are also very glad to be launching this important initiative for the first time outside of Italy, confirming and further reinforcing our global leadership in this area.”
