Pope Delivers Daily Message by Text

After Italy and Ireland, the «Papal Thought of the Day» delivered from His Holiness John Paul II by text messaging is now available in the UK, reports the scotsman.com.

"The first message reads: The Child Jesus, born in Bethlehem, brought the world the precious gift of Love, so to fill the man's heart and mind with true joy.”

The 25p it costs the user to receive each message is split among the network operator, the Vatican, and Italian telecoms company Acotel which is providing the technology".
