NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Zingy (www.zingy.com), the largest mobile entertainment provider in North America, adds more fun to the world of wireless with Voicecards featuring today's stars of pop, hip-hop, rock, and modern country music. Zingy launches the new service with Voicecards of custom-recorded messages and snippets of brand new singles from Nickel Creek, Nappy Roots, Angie Martinez, Keith Sweat, Mario, Trick Daddy, Trina and many others.
"Mobile entertainment began as an underground movement to hack in musical ringtones on old cell phones. Wireless phones have evolved so fast that ringtones, graphics, messaging, greetings, and now voicecards are a cultural phenomenon for self-expression and communication," said Fabrice Grinda, CEO and founder of Zingy. "It's exciting to be at the beginning of something new."

Anyone can show their love and appreciation on holidays or special moments, like birthdays ("Happy Birthday") by choosing the appropriate sound clip and sending it to their family, friends, or co-workers. Choices of music or sound clips range from the ridiculous to the romantic.
Progressive music artists and entertainment companies have flocked to Zingy in the 11 months since its inception. Zingy features mobile entertainment products from popular artists, such as Eminem, Ludacris, Ashanti, Nelly, No Doubt, Wu Tang Clan, Craig David, Brandy, Mario, and many others.
