Verizon Wireless customers now have more ways to personalize their wireless experience thanks to new applications that let them create content to be listened to, shared and enjoyed on their mobile phones.
Verizon Wireless applications give customers the power to create thematic clips that can be used as audio greeting cards. Subscribers can also be their own music producers by mixing their own voice with pre-recorded tones and tracks, and then use them as ringtones. The new applications also let them play DJ by capturing their favorite part of certain songs to be used as ringtones.
"Our wireless phones are becoming more and more a reflection of who we are, especially through what we listen to and put on them," said Ed Ruth, director of digital music at Verizon.
"By giving customers the creative freedom to generate and share some of the audio content for their phones, we're bringing the Verizon Wireless mobile media experience to the next level of self-expression and personalization,” added Ruth.
ToneMaker from Sonic Boom lets Verizon Wireless customers instantly become a music producer by adding and layering their own vocals to pre-recorded beats and music elements. The unique musical clips that are created can be used as personalized ringtones and can be shared with other subscribers to enjoy, critique and rate.
YouTones from FunMobility enables Verizon Wireless customers to easily create their own unique mobile audio media in the form of ringtones or audio messages by combining their own voices with pre-recorded, thematic YouTones performances. For example, customers record their voices which are then transformed and blended into an original YouTone to sound like stadium sports announcers or birthday greetings, among other neat options.
The mSpot Make-UR-Tones application allows users to create customized ringtones from a catalog of over 250,000 full-tracks. Users employ an intuitive editor within the application to cut up to 30 seconds of their favorite songs. Make-UR-Tones then turns the cuts into high-quality customized ringtones ready to be downloaded.
Verizon Wireless operates the nation's wireless voice and data network, serving 68.7 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, New Jersey with 70,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone.
