 Mobile Ringback Tone Service!
 New Mobile Service entertains the caller but paid by the subscriber
Instead of the conventional Ringback Tone a Caller hears music or a sound clip while waiting for the call to be answered.
Market Opportunity
The Ringback Tone Service is an innovation from SK Telecom Co. of South Korea, introduced to the Korean market, which is often regarded as the incubator for wireless trends, as early as 2002.This new service has conquered many Asian mobile markets in 2003 in a fast pace. Since it has proved to be a successful and very profitable service in the mobile space, it is reaching Europe at the same speed in 2004. Subscribers can express and differentiate themselves from their peers. Ringback Tone is another fashion statement to convey to friends. They can choose all sorts of music, voice messages, or promotional jingles. They can modify their Ringback Tone at any time and customize them for certain callers.About 70 % of the subscribers at the age of 20-39 represent the Target customers.


 

Operator´s benefits
As an exciting service personalised Ringback Tone is the natural extension of Ringtones. Ringback Tone will become a must-have feature like Ringtone download service and SMS messaging. This service is available to all subscribers, regardless of handset, on both wireless and even wireline networks. Because the technology is located in the network, they can be available to users with any type of handset. Ringback Tones‘ quality and depth of sound is far better than normal Ringtones.


 

Features
