People owning 3G mobile phones now can worship Matsu, goddess of the seas, and take bilingual Chinese-Vietnamese lessons on their handsets.

These are among the new services jointly launched yesterday by telecommunications service firm Vibo and Tsaotien (Toward Heaven) Matsu Temple in Shinkang of southwestern Chiayi County.

Through uniquely designed software, customers can pay their respects to Matsu, pick fortune texts, and throw the crescent-shaped wooden divining tools to seek good luck and answers from the deity.
