Hello? Hello?
You used to be able to get your prayers answer by Jesus through a phone number in Finland.
It was pretty expensive – about $1.50 a pop – but Hey!
No longer, however.
"A service promising to answer people’s prayers with a text message apparently sent by Jesus has been shut down after complaints by Finland’s mobile services watchdog," says a Reuters report here.
Finland’s Mobile G Host transmitted the messages, but declined to name the company that provided the replies from ‘Jesus’ and chief executive Marko Hakala said the service was axed as soon as he discovered what was being offered, says Reuters, adding:
"He declined to say how many prayers had been received, but added: ‘This was no gold mine. … It seems you can’t interest people in everything’."
