SMS service to help immigrants

Mobile operator Vodafone Italy and the Naples Provincial Authority are launching a service that lets immigrants to make an appointment to renew their residence permits by sending an SMS. This will probably avoid queuing and reduce the inconvenience experienced by the immigrants who congregate at the offices of the Naples Police Headquarters every weekday. After making an appointment by SMS, an immigrant who has made an application will receive an SMS indicating a date on which to collect the renewed residence permit
