Italian Interior ministry unveils new free SMS information service

In July 2009, the Italian Ministry of the Interior launched on its web portal a short messaging information service for citizens.

The users of the entirely free of charge service will regularly receive, on their mobile phone, text messages with the Ministry’s latest news as well as relevant notifications, reminders, invitations to events and much more.

In order to benefit from the new service, one simply needs to subscribe to it through the website of the Ministry via the dedicated link by entering his/her mobile phone number and, if he/she wishes so, his/her name and surname.

The SMS communication offers the convenience of brief -not more than 160 characters- but synthetic messages providing the citizens with the core of the information in a clear, non-bureaucratic language. The no title messages will furthermore point to the source web page for those users interested in getting into more detail.
