Sprint has added new Music Tones from the Universal Music Group joining the existing line up of Music Tones from Sony Music Group artists. Sprint was the first U.S. carrier to launch Music Tones, which are ringers that sound like the actual song, last July. In 2003, Sprint sold more than 20 million ringers and screen savers. Sprint offers a wide range of polyphonic, animated, voice and Music Tone ringers.
"Sprint has a long line of industry firsts within mobile music: real-time streaming, voice ringers and music tones. The addition of "A" list artists from Universal Music Group to our existing line up of Sony Music Group artists further enables Sprint to bring the latest in music to our customers," said Jeff Hallock, vice president of consumer product marketing for Sprint. "Personalization is very important to our customers and with Sprint's extensive list of ringers, callers instantly recognize their phone – or even the caller – just by hearing the ring."
A sample of the latest Music Tones titles from Universal Music Group includes:
— Calling by Leona Naess
— C'Mon C'Mon by Sheryl Crow
— Crawling in the Dark by Hoobastank
— Send Your Love by Sting
