The Shenzhen Mobile Phone Paper, China's first registered mobile newspaper which has been jointly launched by the Shenzhen Press Group and China Mobile Shenzhen, has formally launched its beta test.

With the Shenzhen Mobile Phone Paper, users can browse the news offline after they receive the files via Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

The service is free from now on until March 31. The monthly fee will be CNY10 starting in April.

Right now, the content for the service is mainly from the relevant newspapers owned by the Shenzhen Press Group, but they say they will soon arrange a special editing team to be responsible for collecting and editing content for the service.
