Choice of Popular Universal Music Group Artists
BEDMINSTER, N.J., April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, the
nation's leading wireless service provider, announced it has entered
into an agreement with Universal Music Group, the world's leading
music company, to bring new Ringback Tones from the company's
extensive catalog of chart-topping artists to Verizon Wireless
Ringback Tone customers. With an extensive collection of 500 hot
Ringback Tones, Universal Music Group is the newest resource for
Verizon Wireless customers looking for the perfect Ringback Tone to
replace the standard ring callers hear while they wait for their call
to be answered. Verizon Wireless became the first national carrier to
offer Ringback Tones when it introduced the service in Southern
California and Sacramento last year.
With an entire catalog of popular music choices, Universal Music Group
makes it easy for Verizon Wireless customers to select the Ringback
Tone that best fits their personal style. By browsing through
categories such as Rap, Hip-Hop, Soundtracks, Metal/Alternative,
R&B/Soul, 80's, Classic Rock, Pop/Rock, Country, Club Hits, 70's,
Oldies, 60's and Holiday, customers can set up their Ringback Tones to
include a standard Ringback Tone (including the Verizon Wireless
standard Ringback Tone), or choose different Ringback Tones for each
caller based on the Caller ID, Group List or the time of day.
Universal Music Group fans will find it easy to choose the perfect
Ringback Tone by simply visiting the Ringback Tones Web site at
http://www.verizonwireless.com/getitnow/ringbacktones where they can
register, browse and preview the latest Ringback Tones from the
biggest names in the music industry today. Customers can also sign up
