We were receiving about 10 copies of Our Daily Bread Devotional but had stopped. We want to continue receiving the same since we have family and friends that we share these with.

Thanks. Our address is 1585 Cascade, West Covina, CA 91790.

Hi Victor,
For so many months, I have not bn able to install ODB from the official site unto my phone. (I was using this same phone the ODB from this site) I bought another phone and installed ODB on it, but was disappointed at the presentation format. So I wrote to them. Below is what I wrote. Please HELP THEM TO IMPROVE UPON THE PRESENTATION. GOD RICHLY BLESSES YOU.

Hello,
The Almighty blesses you for the good work you are doing.
The mobile version of Our daily Bread (JAVA) is not reader friendly, I think more can be done on it presentation. I was using SonEricsson phone, but ever since you started the mobile version of ODB it has NEVER get installed on my phone. I currently bought a new java enable phone, got ODB installed, and am very disappointed at the presentation format.
THE WORD OF GOD IS TO BE SPREAD, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH with Victor Goh, to help. His presentation format was just wonderful. It makes you want to back to read.
I tell others about this application, and the story is the same form them
PLEASE, PLEASE, WORK ON IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Hi Curtiss, Sorry, can't help you on the daily bread app for the iPhone. I don't have an iPhone. However, I'm working on an iPhone/Android optimized mobile web view for daily devotions over at http://www.jarss.com/show/iui/. If you have the ebook reader, Stanza, on your iPhone, you can also try out the daily devotionals in epub format over at http://www.jarss.com/.

One cool and easy way to get Our Daily Bread’s daily passage is to use their email feature. I may be wrong, but I did not come across an option that would enable a user to TXT, SMS or MMS the message to our mobiles. To get around that very easily, as ODB- again- DOES offer daily EMAILS… just:

Use your cellphone’s EMAIL ADDRESS! Every cellphone has an accompanying email address- which I never see the major carriers promote or advertise- but they have them! This allows you to receive information, just like a text, however it gets around the issue of receiving info to a non-pda. For instance, if your Verizon number is: 555-123-4567… your Verizon mobile EMAIL will be 5551234567@vtext.com …. just enter in your respective mobile carrier email address that is associated with your number at:

http://www.rbc.org/odb/email/ so then you will get ODB everyday- right to your mobile!

If you have an ATT WIRELESS mobile phone and your number is, F O R E X A M P L E: 555-123-4567 … your email address for that mobile is going to be: 5551234567@txt.att.net (for text only) and then 5551234567@sms.att.net (for short messaging service) and then 5551234567@mms.att.net (for multimedia emails). This info is all over the internet if you search (for all companies). Note I am in the United States. On the ATT Wireless site- they only listed the ‘txt’ extension… I just thought to try the ‘sms’ and ‘mms’ alternate addresses myself- and they work just fine for receiving each respective type of message! Again- check for costs- I have an UNLIMITED everything type of plan- so I have no fees for any of this- please check your plan by calling the customer service of your mobile carrier.

I have never been charged to do this with either Verizon or ATT with my plans with either. But- check to see if you will be charged and/or how the carrier treats an incoming ‘email.’ ALSO- note that you can use this email to SEND… to any email in the world! A neat way to get around sending international ‘TXT’ messages without breaking the bank. But- double check the rates- again- I don’t think they are treated different than TXTs in a billing aspect. Also- check to see what your carrier allows and/or is capable of when sending/receiving emails in terms of multimedia like pictures/video/etc. I know that my basic ATT phone receives images just fine from my hotmail email- when sent from my computer. Just play around and see what your phone and carrier is capable of doing! And again- I don’t think it is an issue- but always double check if your carrier or your plan allows this for free or charges you. I hope that I’ve helped even just one person receive the ‘Bread’ conveniently and on a consistent basis. Let’s face it, we are a cell phone nation and a cell phone world- why not use those little machines to strengthen our faith while we are at it! GOD BLESS! (I tried my best and I’m confident most of you won’t have any difficulties using your cell ‘EMAIL’ as a substitute for ‘TXT’ ‘SMS’ or ‘MMS’- again again ;) ) DOUBLE CHECK with your carrier and experiment to see what works for you and what costs are if any.

Hi, I’ve download TGIF from your site and it’s running fine on my cellphone, thanks for the hard work.
But I always get error when installing jad/jar file from Our Daily Bread RBC Ministries official site to my cellphone, which is Sony Ericsson K770. Is there any special setting that should be changed on my cellphone?

Thanks

I am a person who is on the move away from home atleast 200days in the year. ODB on the mobile was such a blessing. I have the KJV downloaded to my hand set. It was a blessing to have the Bible and ODB in my pocket all the time via my cell phone. I hope you will have the copyright issues resolved so that the download version would be available once again very soon. Its a real blessing!

We thank God for giving you the vision to create this great site like this.
Please keep ODB available on mobile phones, because I have non-believers asking for it too.
God Bless you

I never thought of having my bible so close to me on my phone. I have my soul food with me always and I’m grateful.
