Audun is basically on the right track. To understand why Partner resisted providing the service you have to understand the odd, polarized political-religious scene here in some sort of financial terms. Basically, you get x dollars (shekels) for catering to the orthodox market and lose y dollars for the same to those people who out of *principle* will not support a company which "panders" to the religious right.

Of course anyone who isn't pretty right-wing religious thinks the idea is stupid - there are various jokes going around about similarities to Saudi-type practises...anyway the fact is there are all sorts of viewpoints around and the companies will take whatever profits they see - Mirs made the biggest buck by being the first to get "approved" status.

As for bakatron's comment, I'm not sure if sex-lines are blocked, but anyway it's stupid since the biggest "sin" people do with phones are - shock, horror - sins involving speech such as gossip, lying, planning other bad stuff etc...which obviously is not blocked on this phone.
