Faith by Phone

Cell phone users searching for a little inspiration might turn to wireless content providers Royalcom or FaithMobile, both of which offer religious programming for mobile users.

Royalcom subscribers can download motivational messages and other products offered by Paula White Ministries, as well as view exclusive video programming from her six-day-a-week TV show. The company plans to add more services to the mobile inspirational network this year.

FaithMobile offers Bible verses, ringtones, and inspirational audio and video "mobisodes." Content ranges from the Pope's "Thought of the Day" to Deepak Chopra's "The Seven Spiritual Laws."

"Inspirational content is a growth area in the mobile space," says Bill Moore, Royalcom's chief strategist and chairman of the board. "Now that companies have seen that consumers desire inspirational content, the market for such content is rapidly growing."

Hmm. What would Jesus download?
