The Bible Society of Russia and ChristianMobile Launch Mobile Service to Make Russian Bible Available to Mobile Phone Subscribers across All Mobile Ca

Moscow, (PRWEB) October 18, 2007 -- ChristianMobile, creators of VirtualBible?, the first ever book delivered to a mobile phone by way of a premium sms-text message, facilitated the implementation of the Russian Bible Society Mobile Phone Bible download service in Russia.

The service enables pre-paid and contract mobile phone subscribers across Russias' largest mobile carriers MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele2, SMARTS, Astrahans GSM, Yaroslav GSM, MOTIV and NTC to purchase the Bible via sms-text and download the full Bible on their mobile phones. Users in Russia can simply send an sms-text with the word SYN1 for the Contemporary Russian Version or SOV1 for the Russian Synodal Version of the Bible to 6969 at a cost of 140 Roubles to download the full Bible.

'We expect demand for VirtualBible? to come mainly, but not exclusively from young people for whom accessing information of all kinds on their mobiles are as normal as making a phone call. The mobile phone is an excellent tool to spread the Gospel. Mobile phone technology is the fastest growth of technology ever witnessed in the world. It took close to 12 years for the industry to reach the first billion mobile connections; the second billion was achieved in just over 2 and a half years. Russia is an important market for us with a large Christian population and a total number of 161.8 million mobile phone subscribers. We see ourselves mainly as an instrument in God's hands, to bring the Gospel to all corners of the world and to make a difference in society. We are expanding rapidly into various territories across the globe and will soon, in addition to a number of Bible translations already developed also offer an array of popular Christian books for download onto the majority of mobile handsets in the market', said Bertus Preller Marketing Executive at ChristianMobile.
