Ringtones Made Easy
- Unwired Appeal launches ToneGuys Ringtones and the
Adaptive Content Server (ACS)
BOSTON, MA - May 27, 2004 -- Unwired Appeal announced
the launch of a new mobile content portal/website -
www.toneguys.com - supplying ringtones, graphics, and
java games to North American cell phone users.
At the core of the new service is the Adaptive Content
Server (ACS), an innovative mobile content platform
that automatically detects a cell phone's capabilities
and optimizes mobile content before transferring it
to the phone.
"We were looking for a way to make the customer experience
more streamlined and user-friendly", recalls Keary Griffin,
Unwired Appeal co-founder and director of technology.
"Not everyone has their cell phone model number and
capabilities written on the back of their hand. ToneGuys
and ACS take the guess-work out by retrieving the information
from the phone itself."
New users at ToneGuys receive a basic WAP-link that
when accessed allows ACS to instantaneously retrieve
and store the precise cell phone parameters. When a
ringtone, graphic, or java game is later selected for
download, users simply enter their phone number and
ACS will locate, optimize, and transfer the content
to their phone in seconds.
In additional website streamlining efforts, time-consuming
membership sign-ups have also been scrapped and replaced
with an optional procedure. "Who isn't tired of filling
out long registration forms and remembering yet another
username and password™ ", asked Todd McKay, managing
director at ToneGuys. "And what do companies do with
all of that personal information™ Its usually not for
sending you a present on your birthday."
"The ToneGuys approach is vastly simplified", continued
McKay, "Users enter only the information necessary to
download their ringtone, game, or graphic - and it is
entered only once. All other customer information-entry
is optional."
