Cingular to Offer MySpace Mobile
December 18th, 2006
Cingular Wireless and MySpace.com announced today an exclusive partnership to offer enhanced MySpace functionality to all Cingular subscribers via their mobile phones.
Not only are we excited about the ability for customers to stay connected to their MySpace community while they’re on the go, we think this will open up a new world of interaction and content for them to share via MySpace. The photo upload feature of MySpace Mobile means Cingular customers will now have the ability to capture, record and share their world as it happens via their MySpace profile, creating a more enriching experience for our customers as well as their MySpace friends.
MySpace Mobile for Cingular features include:
- Uploading Photos
Available on select Cingular handsets, MySpace Mobile allows Cingular customers to select photos stored on their mobile device and upload them to their MySpace profile. The same terms of service for MySpace also apply to the mobile sphere, including but not limited to inappropriate content and copyrighted material. - Responding to Mail
Cingular customers don’t have to wait until they are in front of a computer to read and reply to their MySpace messages. From their Cingular phones, they have the ability to send messages to their MySpace friends, read and reply to messages sent to them, as well as view and manage friend requests. - Searching for Friends
MySpace Mobile allows Cingular customers to perform basic friend searches giving users the opportunity to “click-to-add “friends into their network. Cingular customers must simply locate a MySpace profile they wish to add as a friend, and then select to add this user as a friend. Customers will also have the ability to look through invites that are pending approval. - Posting Comments or Blog Entries
MySpace Mobile allows Cingular customers to post new blog entries and make comments to other users’ blogs or MySpace profile pages. To post a blog or comment, Cingular customers need simply view the appropriate section and click “Post” to create the entry. Users can save their work at any time, and any information entered will update both the mobile client and the online MySpace profile page. - View Friends
Cingular customers have the ability to view the friend list of any MySpace profile. The Friend list contains a text listing of the friends, which when selected would show the profile picture along with a link to that user’s MySpace page and the ability to add the friend to your contact list for quick bookmarking. - View Groups
MySpace Mobile gives users the ability to view the group list of any MySpace profile. The Group list contains a text listing of the members, which when selected would show the profile picture along with a link to that user’s MySpace profile and the ability to add the member to your contact list for quick bookmarking.
Cingular customers can text: MYSPACE to 386 (FUN) to get the MySpace Mobile application on their wireless phones. The cost is $2.99 per month plus standard data usage charges.
