NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Zingy (www.zingy.com), the largest mobile entertainment provider in North America, launches Phonemates, an audio-based community that extends chat rooms and message boards to mobile phones. Phonemates, powered by VoiceWeb technologies, utilizes voice as a user interface for navigating, listening, and posting comments, news, music, and more.
"A new community is forming without computers or being tethered to a wall," says Fabrice Grinda, CEO and Founder of Zingy. "Phonemates creates an audio community on the wireless networks anywhere. Real time and sequenced messaging transform voice into a spontaneous new media and new medium. It provides a voice and a means to connect with thousands of people on the same wavelength."
Bounce through the listening lounge, get a jump on the latest music and entertainment headlines, catch up with a daily horoscope, keep it fresh in the music chat rooms or tag an opinion on a favorite music genre on the boards, play trivia or other games. Invent a reason to hookup in a private chat with another Phonemate.
Anyone can become a Phonemate by simply calling 866-RUZingy (866-789-4649); buy a prepaid calling card or order online at Zingy's website on the Phonemates page. Card values vary and per minute rates vary accordingly. For a limited time, become a trial Phonemate through introductory offer of $5.00 for 30 minutes.
