This Mobile Will Change Your Life

Textually: A new service launching this week lets people’s mobile phone rule their life.
Subscribers to “This Mobile Will Change Your Life” receive SMS text message orders which they must carry out immediately, in Mission Impossible-style.
Orders vary from the straightforward (“kiss the nearest tall stranger”) to the hazardous (“Walk into a police station, tell them you’re finally giving yourself up, then remain totally silent.”) to the deranged (“It’s 2am: everybody meet in your nearest cemetery dressed as zombies, then march on the town centre”).
Subscribers must commit to obeying the 10 instructions a month without fail, in return for which their life is guaranteed to change.
The service is the brainchild of Ben Carey and Henrik Delehag (known as “Benrik”), the authors of the cult bestselling book “This Diary will Change your Life”.
“Most people’s lives are already dominated by their mobile phone. We’re taking this one step further by making them literally slaves to their mobile,” said Ben Carey of Benrik.
“In the process, they’ll lead a far less boring life.”
To subscribe, people text LIFE to 60030. If the service begins to ruin their life, they can text STOP to unsubscribe at any time.
“If you notice lots of people checking their mobile, then doing something weird in a zombie-like manner, you’ll know who to blame”, add Benrik.
Benrik claim this is a new development in mobile phone services. “Most mobile applications restrict themselves to helping the user in some way. This is the first attempt to explore the darker side of mobile user psychology”.
